Object null check not updating

[Vogelbekdier 1]

I'm trying to null check a GameObject and interact if it's != null or else walk over.

Initial null check comes back false and I walk over to the area, but even when I'm standing in a field of wheat it keeps still returning wheat == null. Only when I restart the script it will turn to true.

Help please.

GameObject wheat = GameObjects.closest("Wheat");

if (wheat == null) {

walkToWheat();

} else if (wheat != null) {

pickWheat();\

}

what happens inside those methods? and where is this code block positioned? sounds like wheat is never gets assigned again after its initialized but i cant tell not enough code

// i think using guard clauses help your code look nicer and be clearer :3 like this
if (wheat == null) {
	walkToWheat();
  	return 2400; // or whatever
} 
pickWheat();
return 2400; // or whatever

private void pickWheat() {
    GameObject wheat = GameObjects.closest((gameObject) -> {
        return gameObject != null && gameObject.getName().equals("Wheat") && gameObject.canReach() && gameObject.hasAction(new String[]{"Pick"});
    });

    if (!Inventory.contains("Grain")) {
        wheat.interactForceLeft("Pick");
        Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> Inventory.contains("Grain"), longSleep);
    } else if (Inventory.contains("Grain")) {
        gotGrain = true;
    }
}

This doesn't work because when I start the script when Grain == null it always stays null. So it just walks over to the area and gives error "Grain == null" and freezes only when I restart the script grain becomes != null and it will pick one wheat. If I drop it manually again it will just stand there trying to pick another one but never actually does.

Area wheatArea = new Area(3162, 3294, 3159, 3296);

walkToArea(wheatArea);

private void walkToArea(Area area) {
    if (!area.contains(Players.getLocal())) {
        Walking.walk(area.getRandomTile());
        Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> Walking.getDestinationDistance() < 5, longSleep);
    }
}

The snippets you've shared are a bit scattered, would need you to share a larger snippet to confirm issue

 

You could condense that down to something like:

 

        if (!Inventory.contains("Grain")){
            if (!wheatArea.contains(Players.getLocal())){
                if (Walking.shouldWalk(5)){
                    Walking.walk(wheatArea.getRandomTile());
                }
            } else {
                GameObject wheat = GameObjects.closest("Wheat");
                if (wheat != null && wheat.interact()){
                    Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> Inventory.contains("Grain"), 2000);
                }
            }
        }

Are you initializing your wheat variable at a global level? It would help if you could paste your whole code
