Check if GE "Collect" widget is visible. Collecting early.

[AliasBots 12]

Hey all,

Lately, I've been trying to get my script to collect gold from GE whenever it's ready. If the button is there, I want to click it.

The problem is, using

getGrandExchange.collect(); 

seems to only collect if an order is completely finished.

 

And looking for the widget leads to it clicking even when the button isn't visible.

WidgetChild collectButton = getWidgets().getWidgetChild(465, 6, 0);
if(getGrandExchange().isOpen() && collectButton.isVisible() && collectButton != null){
    collectButton.interact("Collect to inventory");
    log("Item collected..");
}

This if statement always ends up as true.

How can I check if things are ready to collect in the GE before the entire order has finished?

Thanks for any help.

The last time I had problems with widgets it was because I didn't put the null check before the isVisible, so you could try that 😛

besides that Idk how to work around it but gl

Can also use this method, based off slots btw.

As a followup, I think I finally figured it out.

It looks like widget.getTextureID is -1 when not ready, 812 when ready, and 813 when hovered over.

Either debug tool updates slowly, or it doesn't read as -1 again after collecting unless the exchange is closed and opened.

Test around a little for bugs but this should help anyone wondering the same thing that I was.

while(!GrandExchange.isReadyToCollect()){

sleep...

}

GrandExchange.collect();

 

This should solve your problem
