    In my script, the bot teleports to House and then uses a mounted amulet of glory to go to edgeville from the house.

    However, as soon as he is in the House, the script fails and returns a NullPointerException for the Amulet of Glory (in specific, the line that includes "Edge.interact("Edgeville"); in the bottom snippet.
    But if I then stop the script and start it again from within the House, he uses the Amulet fine, meaning the GameObject is in fact not Null? If the bottom snippet returns true and the bot clicks the glory (which it does), how is the second snippet changing the Glory to be Null?

    It's almost as if loading in a new area (the house) makes the GameObject Null, but if I am already in the area with the GameObject, it is not null?

    GameObject Edge = GameObjects.closest(gameObject -> gameObject != null && gameObject.getName().equals("Amulet of Glory"));
    if (Edgeville.contains(getLocalPlayer())) {
        Inventory.interact("Teleport to house", "Break");
        sleepUntil(() -> House.contains(getLocalPlayer()), Calculations.random( 5000,8000));
    }
    if (House.contains(getLocalPlayer())) {
        Edge.interact("Edgeville");
        sleepUntil(() -> Edge.contains(getLocalPlayer()), Calculations.random( 5000,8000));
    }

    Make sure you null check "Edge" because it will be null if it has not loaded the gameobject yet (or it isnt nearby)

    Hi Neffarion,

    I believe I am null checking it when defining the object:

    GameObject Edge = GameObjects.closest(gameObject -> gameObject != null && gameObject.getName().equals("Amulet of Glory"));
    

    Should I be doing this again elsewhere?

    No. You are passing a null check into the filter of GameObjects.closest()
    If there are no gameobjects that respect that filter then the result of Edge will be null.
    So you need to check if Edge is null afterwards:

     

    if (House.contains(getLocalPlayer()) && Edge != null && Edge.interact("Edgeville")) {
        sleepUntil(() -> Edgeville.contains(Client.getLocalPlayer()), Calculations.random(5000,8000));
    }

    Hi Neffaerion,

    I have tried to implement your suggestion, which resulted in nothing happening, as the IF statement came back false. I changed the "Edge != null"  to "Edge == null", and the IF statement came back true, but it couldn't interact with the Glory as the object is null.

    Your IF statement passes if I run the script from the House, as the Glory does not show as null. 

    I am really puzzled with this.

     

    This comes back as false and my script runs endlessly not doing anything:

    if (House.contains(getLocalPlayer()) && Edge != null && Edge.interact("Edgeville")) {
        sleepUntil(() -> Edgeville.contains(Client.getLocalPlayer()), Calculations.random(5000,8000));
    }

    This comes back as true, but it cannot continue to interact with the Glory as it is null, resulting in my script throwing a NullPointerException

     

    if (House.contains(getLocalPlayer()) && Edge == null && Edge.interact("Edgeville")) {
        sleepUntil(() -> Edgeville.contains(Client.getLocalPlayer()), Calculations.random(5000,8000));
    }

    Edge == null && Edge.interact("Edgeville")

    This will do nothing but throw a NPE at you, because you're ensuring Edge is null before interacting with it.

    My best guess is that you're calling the code below only once, outside a method, so it's a class variable. In that case, when you're logged out, you start the script, it finds the gameobject once, and because it's logged out it can't be found. Now your Edge variable has null as its value. This is not how you should be doing it.

    @Override
    private int onLoop() { ...

    Instead, whenever you need to interact with your POH's glory, search for the gameobject again. You'd be calling it in your onLoop as shown in the code below.

    @Override
    private int onLoop() {
        if (isInHouse()) {
        	if (shouldTeleportAway()) {
            	GameObject wallGlory = GameObjects.closest("Amulet of Glory");
              	if (wallGlory != null && wallGlory.interact("Edgeville")) {
                        MethodProvider.sleepUntil(() -> isAtEdgeville(), 10000);
                    }
            } else {
             	... 
            }
        } else {
         	... 
        }
    }

    As an extra add (this is more of a query than anything), is it possible that the glory (assuming it's the wall mounted one), could be categorized as a WallObject not a GameObject?

    }

     

    Thank you Hashtag, I was indeed calling it outside the method.
