Attack closest NPC in an area that's not in combat.

[PapaH 1]

Hey guys!

I'm trying to write a script that attacks NPCs in a specific area that are not in combat. My script already checks whether there are enemies in the specific area to attack and wait until out of combat to attack another. How would you go about writing the ! .isInCombat check?

This is what I was thinking, but it doesn't seem to be working:

if (attackSpot.contains(NPCs.closest("Sand Crab")) && !NPCs.closest("Sand Crab").isInCombat()){
//if (NPCs.closest(crab -> crab != null && crab.getName() == "Sand crab" && attackSpot.contains(crab)).exists()){
    log("Attack Sand Crab");
    NPCs.closest("Sand Crab").interact("Attack");

 

I thought maybe this would work, but it doesn't attack anything.

NPC SandCrab = NPCs.closest(crab -> crab != null && crab.getName() == "Sand Crab" && !crab.isHealthBarVisible() && attackSpot.contains(crab));
//if (attackSpot.contains(NPCs.closest("Sand Crab")) && !NPCs.closest("Sand Crab").isInCombat()){
if(SandCrab != null && !getLocalPlayer().isInCombat()){
    log("Attack Sand Crab");
    SandCrab.interact("Attack");

Thought I had it with the last edit, but It wouldn't actually attack anything. Still trying to figure out the best .isincombat check while alscho checking if area.contains

NPC monster = NPCs.closest(crab -> crab != null
					&& (!crab.isInCombat() || crab.isInteracting(getLocalPlayer())) && crab.getName() == "Sand Crab");

if(!getLocalPlayer().isInCombat())
	if(monster != null)
		monster.interact("Attack");

 

Would something like this work?

Hello there @PapaH
You would want to check if the crab is not in combat in the npc predicate , i also noticed that you are using == for a String , That doesnt work in java , you need to use .equals for Strings in java .

Your predicate should look something like 
NPC SandCrab = NPCs.closest(crab -> crab != null && crab.getName().equals("Sand Crab") && !crab.isInCombat() && attackSpot.contains(crab));

That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
