Ensure Ranged CombatStyle is on Rapid

[Axolotl 31]

Hey everyone,

I am wanting to ensure that the players CombatStyle when performing Ranged is set to rapid.

Unfortunately both Accurate and Rapid are the same when it comes to: 

Combat.getCombatStyle();

resulting in a return of "RANGED".

I have tried to do this with PlayerSettings and Widgets and can't seem to get it.
I noticed PlayerSetting (43) changes: 0 = accurate, 1 = rapid, 3 = longrange; however, I am not able to get the change in this value with:

log("Ranged combat style value: " + PlayerSettings.getBitValue(43));

as it always returns 0.

The varbit value (8354) after a delay of 10 seconds or so seems to change with the ranged CombatStyle change, but is inconsistent (1397-1410 and increasing with testing).

I also attempted with widgets, but after testing, I can't seem to find anything that shows an update when it is toggled, I tried with:

log("rapid text: " + rapid.getText());
log("rapid actions: " + Arrays.toString(rapid.getActions()));
log("rapid text color: " + rapid.getTextColor());
log("rapid shadow color: " + rapid.getShadowColor());
log("rapid type: " + rapid.getType());
log("rapid texture id: " + rapid.getTextureId());

If anyone knows of a way to do this, that would be amazing, 

Thank you

Hey there, so to get the value of a PlayerSetting you'd use PlayerSettings.getConfig(43), getBitValue is what you use for the "Varbit" tab

Also, you don't need to worry about any of that for this particular issue, as we have a helper method to set the combat style for you:

Combat.setCombatStyle(CombatStyle.RANGED)

You can find all available combat style's on our Javadocs here.

Thank you @Pandemic for the config idea, that did the trick

However, I did try the: Combat.setCombatStyle(CombatStyle.RANGED)

It didn't work while the Inventory tab / combat tab was open to set it to rapid as it just keeps returning true even while on accurate and doesn't do anything, i have a feeling it is cause the CombatStyle is RANGED while both Accurate and Rapid, there likely needs to be unique combatStyles for each

I'll add RANGED_RAPID to today's update  

Edit: Should be live in v3.9.1, run the launcher to grab the latest version!
