Get character into screen view?

[Tweeboy 14]

While testing a WC script I notice that sometimes my compass is set to a position that hides my character behind a tree (specificaly, an Oak tree). Was currently going to approach it with something like:

			while (Oak.getCenterPoint().distance(getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint()) < 50) //Whatever works
				getCamera().rotateToYaw(getCamera().getYaw()+50);

(I kept trying a getLocalPlayer().isHidden > getCamera().mouseRotateToEntity(getLocalPlayer()) approach but that did nothing, probably cause I'm technically on main screen, my model is just hidden by leaves)

 

But, if I'm not mistaken, that'd continue to rotate in increments instead to a smooth camera rotation to a view with me on screen. Please tell me I'm just missing something

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated

If I understand correctly, the whole problem stems from your camera moving inadvertently when it shouldn't.

 

   boolean customInteract(String action, Entity name) {

        EntityDestination ed = new EntityDestination(getClient(), name);

        InteractionEvent ie = new InteractionEvent(ed);

        if (ie.interact(action, InteractionSetting.MOVE))

            return true;

        return false;

    }

 

Example usage: customInteract("Chop", tree); //tree is a predefined tree object

 

This will prevent your camera from moving when interacting with objects, just make sure they're on screen before interacting with them.

 

That's a strange issue because isOnScreen() doesn't take into account things (walls, trees) blocking the entity from view, only whether it is in the bounds of the main screen.

 

Let me know if I can be of more help.

Thanks for the suggestion, will try implementing next time I run script. So far it happens at random; some inventories I'll never be behind a tree, some inventories I'm stuck behind an oak for the entirety of, sometimes it fixes itself or happens multiple times an inventory. 

 

What I currently have:

 

case Chop:

if (Oak != null){
	if (!Oak.isOnScreen())
		getCamera().mouseRotateToTile(Oak.getTile()); 
	Oak.interact("Chop down"); 
}

So I'd use custominteract("Chop", Oak) instead?

 

case Wait:

if (getCamera().getPitch() < 300)
	getCamera().mouseRotateToPitch(Calculations.random(300, 380));
if (getMouse().isMouseInScreen())
	getMouse().moveMouseOutsideScreen();

This could possibly cause it to line up Oak and my character. Though I would like to keep this.

 

 

 

 

 

I also just wrote this up. Will calculateModelArea() give me a 2D "Visible on screen" Area? If so, this should work if all else fails.

while (Oak.getModel().calculateModelArea().contains(getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint())){
	switch (getCamera().getYaw()){
		case 0-1200:
			getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(getCamera().getYaw()+Calculations.random(400,600));
			break;
		case 1025-2048:	
			getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(getCamera().getYaw()-Calculations.random(400,600));
			break;
	}
}

Yes that is correct.

 

Also I think you might be looking for getModel().getBoundingBox().

 

Can you post a screenshot with what the issue is? I'd be happy to help you fix it but I'm not quite sure where/how you're getting stuck.

From the above, I'd like to turn the camera (preferably with middle mouse) to put me into view.

 

Also I do not see Oak.getModel().getBoundingBox(), would Oak.getModel().getHullShape() work?

 

EDIT: getHullShape will not work. I just want to grab the boundaries of those leaves, and if my player's center point on screen is within the boundary, to turn the camera

This is untested, but it should at least point you in the right direction.

 

Edit: For testing try painting the oak bounding box and the player center point. The method pretty much rotates the screen ~45 degrees at a time until the point is no longer in the bounding box. 

    private void handleCamera() {
        GameObject oak = getGameObjects().closest(g -> g != null && g.getName().equals("Oak tree"));
        if (oak.getBoundingBox().contains(getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint())) {
            if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1800) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1400, 1600));
            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1400) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(850, 1150));
            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 850) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(350, 600));
            } else {
                switch(Calculations.random(0,2)) {
                    case 0: 
                        getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1850, 2037));
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(0, 150));

(oak.getBoundingBox().contains(getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint())) is not coming back as true  does it include the leaves or just the trunk?

[Genius 49]

Working on a fix right now. Will get back to you shortly 

 

edit: all of the photos were removed. It returned true when expected, And the bounding box contained all of the leaves and the trunk.

 

It appears you just have to declare a rectangle and point object. So try this:

  private void handleCamera() {
        Point p = getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint();
        Rectangle bb = getGameObjects().closest("Oak").getBoundingBox();
        if (p != null && bb != null && bb.contains(p)) {
            if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1800) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1400, 1600));
            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1400) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(850, 1150));
            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 850) {
                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(350, 600));
            } else {
                switch(Calculations.random(0,2)) {
                    case 0: 
                        getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1850, 2037));
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(0, 150));
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

		getMouse().moveMouseOutsideScreen();
	sleep(Calculations.random(3000, 5000));

Will not rotate me when I'm behind a tree  . I've got to run out right now but I'll try implementing as its own void instead of being within the main loop and see if that changes anything

Your problem lies in the switch I believe. For cases you can't use a range of integers in a traditional way like in C. I think it might be reading those as case -1200 and case -1023, and the yaw can't be negative, thus your code would never execute.

 

If you want to use states, just try my code down below and see how it goes: 

case WAIT:
                    Point p = getLocalPlayer().getCenterPoint();
                    Rectangle bb = getGameObjects().closest("Oak").getBoundingBox();
                    if (p != null && bb != null) {
                        if (bb.contains(p)) {    
                            if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1800) {
                                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1400, 1600));
                            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 1400) {
                                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(850, 1150));
                            } else if (getCamera().getYaw() > 850) {
                                getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(350, 600));
                            } else {
                                switch(Calculations.random(0,2)) {
                                    case 0: 
                                        getCamera().mouseRotateToYaw(Calculations.random(1850, 2037));
                                        break;
                                    case 1:
