Guide 1 - Setting up Intellij with basic template.
 

 

• Download Intellij Community Edition
• File -> New -> Project
• Select Java
• Ensure your Project SDK is 1.8
• Fill Details
• Right click src -> New -> Java Class
• Enter main
• Now Copy/Paste this: https://hastebin.com/cizuyoweru.java
• File -> Project Structure -> Libraries
• Click green plus at top
• Click java once it appears
• Navigate to your BotData folder inside DreamBot then select client.jar
• Click OK
• Bottom right click Apply
• Click Artifacts
• Same again click green plus
• Jar -> Empty
• Fill in the Name & Output directory for the .jar file of your script
• Double click compile out so it's under the jar name you chose on the left
• Click Apply -> OK

Awesome, very helpful if you wanna get started creating your own simple scripts!

[Sophisticated 1]

Awesome code examples, helped me making my first script today (picking grain and banking)!

it would be better not to use states and just onLoop for noobs bro

[dQw4w9WgXcQ 184]

these are not examples of good code.    

 

not following naming conventions/incorrect access modifier.  area_chickens and enum set should be in all cap case.  AREA_CHICKENS should be public static final:

 

private Area area_chickens

 

public enum State {

nothing, walk

 

probably dont understand lambdas if you name the parameter "filter"...

getNpcs().closest(filter -> filter != null && filter.getName().equals("Chicken") && !filter.isInCombat());

 

unecessary sleepUntil.  sleepUntil should be avoided unless necessary since its resource intensive (it polls a condition every 25ms).

 

private boolean sleepWalk(int distance, int timeout) { // This will make the client sleep until the player isn't moving, times out or within the distance defined.
return sleepUntil(() -> !getLocalPlayer().isMoving() || getLocalPlayer().distance(getClient().getDestination()) < distance, timeout);
}

 

maybe you should read tutorials instead of making them

These are things I would have found useful on day 1 of starting to script. The lambdas named filter was just a way to express its a filter to the new user not understanding that. The naming conventions is just nitt picking, if you have anything actually constructive to contribute then I'm all ears.

I think the point he's trying to make is that if you teach people, it should be code that is actually functional in the bigger scheme of things (access modifiers aren't naming conventions, they're a pivotal element that every scripter and/or programmer should know), and code that teaches them good (naming) habits

Most new scripters aren't set out to become software developers. I learned at a young age off poorly documented and poorly conventioned code and honestly feel like it helped because I wasn't trying to absorb so much information that didn't matter at the time. I didn't care if a constant was in all caps as long as the damn thing worked. If they are trying to take it that seriously, they need to be doing more learning than the tutorials section on DreamBot lmfao.

 

If this is presented in a way that someone will learn from it, who cares if they aren't learning damn conventions. They are learning concepts that are 10x more important in the beginning to understand and get something working.

How would I go about making code from OSBot work with dreambot API?

 

 

 

import org.osbot.W;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.map.Area;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.map.Position;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.model.NPC;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.ui.EquipmentSlot;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.ui.MagicSpell;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.ui.Skill;
import org.osbot.rs07.api.ui.Spells;
import org.osbot.rs07.event.WebWalkEvent;
import org.osbot.rs07.script.Script;
import org.osbot.rs07.script.ScriptManifest;
import org.osbot.rs07.utility.Condition;
import org.osbot.rs07.utility.ConditionalSleep;



import java.awt.*;

import static org.osbot.rs07.api.map.constants.Banks.CANIFIS;

 

I'm a novice scripter so please help a brother out! cheers, you scripters motivate me!
