Master script in client calling other scripts

[Batko 0]

Hi,

Assume you have  two scripts, e.g., a Woodcutting and a Mining script. Is it possible to write another class which uses these given however you want it? I've read around the API and it seems that it is possible, however, I'm unsure where to start.
 
Example:

@ScriptManifest(author = "You", name = "Selector", version = 1.0, description = "Execute script orders", category = Category.WOODCUTTING)
public class Selector extends AbstractScript {

  public void onStart() {
    log("Starting up");
  }

  public void onExit() {
    log("Closing down.");
  }

  @Override
  public int onLoop() {

    //1: Run WC script until custom termination

    //2: Run Mining script until custom termination

    //Kill the selector script
    return -1;
  }
}

The reason I want  to do this is that it leaves modularity to the original scripts since they can run stand-alone, but also provide flexibility to run from a main controlling script.

I personally just abuse quickstart to do this but there is probably a better way to do it
 

I just call a new client instance while logging out with the new selected script.

Sure, but this still forces you to manually start each script, unless you program a bash script to run send your command line arguments.

Just figured out it is possible to start the other script through

ScriptManager mg = new ScriptManager(getClient().getInstance());
LocalLoader ll = new LocalLoader();
for (java.lang.Class<? extends AbstractScript> script : LocalLoader.getScripts()) {
  if (script.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Woodcutter")) {
    mg.start(script);
  }
}

where this loops through the local scripts and find the specified script name to start.

However, my next question is how to pass any arguments while starting it this way? Assuming the onStart method has been overridden to accept arguments.

Continuing on the answer above, I've figured out that the API should be able to take in arguments in the following way

mg.start("test1", "arg1","arg2","arg3");

it compiles, runs, and starts the other script, however, the  onStart method  doesn't recognise the arguments I'm passing.

Anyone else had this problem? Is it perhaps because I'm not VIP yet, and command line arguments/ starting scripts with arguments is for VIP and higher users?

List<Class<? extends AbstractScript>> localScripts = LocalLoader.getScripts(); 

Find the script by name and simply call the onStart method.

script.onStart(args)
...
loop
...
script.onExit()

And yes, I believe that quickstart is a VIP feature.

loop

Do you have to loop manually or is it triggered when you call onStart method?

If you're running a script inside of a script, you'll want to call the internal script's loop in your main script's onLoop
