Completely lost on why onGameMessage(Message) is not working for me...?

[Bryno 21]

Hi, so my class implements ChatListener and this is the code:

public void onGameMessage(Message msg) {
		logError("Msg: " + msg.getMessage());
		logError("result = " + msg.getMessage().contains("You get some oak logs"));
}

I've already tried putting:

@Override

on top of the method as well..

I am literally not getting ANY console output. My onGameMessage() method is just not getting invoked at all..

Any ideas?

why not just check your inventory for another logic being added?

Are you implementing it in your main script class (the one with a ScriptManifest) or a separate class? If it's a separate class you'll need to register it manually via Instance#addEventListener.

This is a good idea for a work around, however it will not work for my application.

Just for too much detail, I am looking for a message of "You don't have an axe" to make sure I create a failsafe for the script to stop.

Hi there, unfortunately it is in the same class as my ScriptManifester.

The class extends AbstractScript and implements ChatListener.

Still no luck 😕

You may want to use onMessage instead of onGameMessage as whatever message you're looking for may not be of that type (there are many different types of chat messages: https://dreambot.org/javadocs/org/dreambot/api/wrappers/widgets/message/MessageType.html). onMessage will catch ALL messages so you can check the type in there if you'd prefer using a more specific method

what about checking for the axe in the equipment slot and inventory?

getting logs is not a game message its a filtered message, not having an axe is a game message so if you arent getting that one you've set something up wrong

Wow that's so weird that a message that is under the "Game" tab in the client is considered a MessageType.FILTERED haha 

I would have never guessed, but okay thank you for  this information! Appreciate it a lot!
