Change click distribution on game objects

[MylesH 0]

Hi, I'm fairly new to this community but have been building bots for a while.

I'm currently using `Entity::interact` to perform actions in-game, however I'm wondering if there's a way for me to provide a different distribution to use that can decide where the click should land on the clickbox.

For example, using a uniform distribution would cause us to have the same probability of clicking any point on the object. But using a binomial or poisson would give us a greater chance of clicking points near the center of the object.

Thanks in advance

Welcome

The only way to do what you're describing would be either:

1) Create and use your own MouseAlgorithm (you can find a few examples on the forums/GitHub I believe), that way you'd be able to choose the exact point per destination, or
2) Manually interact with a PointDestination instead (which can be a bit error prone with moving entities) using whatever point you'd like from the Entity using something like Model#calculateModelArea

Hope that helps!

That's super helpful of you, thank you!

One things that's slowing development a bit is the obfuscated sources. I usually read through the source of the libraries I'm using to better understand how they work. Is there any way to get the sources for Dream Bot's StandardMouseAlgorithm, or a way to view source files for a subset of the client that you deem to be non-proprietary?

Hey, welcome to the community! That sounds like a cool project. You could definitely tweak the click distribution. One idea is to create a custom function that applies the distribution you want, like a weighted random selection. For instance, if you're aiming for more clicks towards the center, you can assign higher weights to those points. Just make sure to normalize your weights so they sum up to 1. That way, when you use Entity::interact, it'll be more likely to hit the center of the clickbox.
