Need help using states and finding npc's

[bzmake 0]

Hello Dreambot users,

 

I'm trying to learn to script for Dreambot and using it's API.

 

How do I make my bot look for a NPC (monster) and return the state to ATTACK it?

 

 

or something like :

 

 private state ATTACK(){
         if (getLocalPlayer().myPlayer().isInCombat()) {
             //find npc
             NPC cow = getNpcs().getClosest(new Filter<NPC>() {     

 

 

I'm so confused

In your onLoop() 

switch(getState()) {

case ATTACK:

 if (getLocalPlayer().myPlayer().isInCombat()) {
               NPC cow = getNpcs().getClosest(Cow);

              //checks if cow isnt null and cow is on screen

               if(cow!=null && cow.isOnScreen()) 

               {

              cow.interact("Attack");

}

  

 

break;

}

 

Something like that

              cow.interact("Attack");

}

  

 

break;

}

Thanks! will try it out!

 

 

Can I ask you to review my script maybe?

Sure.

I'd recommend to first take a read at this link: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_decision_making.htm

 

 

How do I make my bot look for a NPC (monster) and return the state to ATTACK it?

//This is how you will get the NPC in-game
NPC cow = getNpcs().closest("Cow");

//To attack it
cow.interact("Attack");

Also for your player, you can directly call getLocalPlayer(), or getPlayers().myPlayer(), instead of calling getLocalPlayer().myPlayer().

 

Another thing to point out is to watch out the condition in the if:

private state ATTACK(){
    if (!getLocalPlayer().isInCombat()) {  //if my player is NOT in combat, then I will want to interact w/ an NPC
    //find npc and attack it
    NPC cow = getNpcs().getClosest("Cow")
    cow.interact("Attack");

    //to avoid getting the player do a lot of clicks to attack the monster, you can add a sleep condiiton

sleepUntil(new Condition(){
@Override
public boolean verify() {
return getLocalPlayer().isInCombat();
}
}, 3000); //the amount of milliseconds the player will wait to click the monster again}
}

For the sleepUntil & other methods, check here: http://dreambot.org/javadocs/org/dreambot/api/methods/MethodProvider.html

 

Then you could add an Else statement, and add some sleeps there (that would be while your player is certainly in combat)

               NPC cow = getNpcs().getClosest(Cow);

              //checks if cow isnt null and cow is on screen

               if(cow!=null && cow.isOnScreen()) 

               {

              cow.interact("Attack");

}

  

 

break;

}

Fixed that for you.

 

Nice explanation @Fran. =)
