How to make a combat script

[qbots 239]

Making a combat script is kind of trivial if you know what you are doing, but for those of you who are new to scripting this may help you.

 

Step 1: Finding the proper NPC to kill

 

import org.dreambot.api.script.AbstractScript;
import org.dreambot.api.script.Category;
import org.dreambot.api.script.ScriptManifest;
import org.dreambot.api.wrappers.interactive.NPC;

@ScriptManifest(name = "TutCombat",author = "qbots", version = 1.0, category = Category.COMBAT)
public class Combat extends AbstractScript {

    @Override
    public int onLoop() {
        currentNpc = getNpcs().closest(npc -> npc != null && npc.getName() != null && npc.getName().equals(npcName) && !npc.isInCombat() && npc.getInteractingCharacter() == null);
        if(currentNpc != null) {
            log("We have found a " + currentNpc.getName() + " to kill!");
        }
        return 100;
    }
    private NPC currentNpc; //Let's make this a global variable so we dont have to create a new one each loop 
    public String npcName = "Giant rat"; //This will be changed with our GUI later on
}

 

 

 

Step 2: Killing our target

 

import org.dreambot.api.script.AbstractScript;
import org.dreambot.api.script.Category;
import org.dreambot.api.script.ScriptManifest;
import org.dreambot.api.wrappers.interactive.NPC;

@ScriptManifest(name = "TutCombat",author = "qbots", version = 1.0, category = Category.COMBAT)
public class Combat extends AbstractScript {

    @Override
    public int onLoop() {
        currentNpc = getNpcs().closest(npc -> npc != null && npc.getName() != null && npc.getName().equals(npcName) && !npc.isInCombat() && npc.getInteractingCharacter() == null);
        if(currentNpc != null) { //does the npc exist?
            if(!getLocalPlayer().isInCombat() && getLocalPlayer().getInteractingCharacter() == null) { //Make sure we aren't in combat or interacting with something
                if(currentNpc.interact("Attack")) { //currentNpc will return true if we succesfully attacked the rat, if that happens we want to wait a bit to make sure we are in combat
                    sleepUntil(() -> getLocalPlayer().isInCombat() || getLocalPlayer().getInteractingCharacter() != null, 2000); //Wait a max of 2 seconds or until we are in combat
                }
                return 100;
            } else {
                return 100;
            }
        }
        return 100;
    }
    private NPC currentNpc; //Let's make this a global variable so we dont have to create a new one each loop 
    public String npcName = "Giant rat"; //This will be changed with our GUI later on
}

 

 

More will come soon. Next will be eating!

Hey man thanks for the tutorial

i have a question on this line

        currentNpc = getNpcs().closest(npc -> npc != null && npc.getName() != null && npc.getName().equals(npcName) && !npc.isInCombat() && npc.getInteractingCharacter() == null);

so if i wanted to find rats for example it would be like this?

        currentNpc = getNpcs().closest(npc -> npc != null && npc.getName() != null && npc.getName().equals(Rat) && !npc.isInCombat() && npc.getInteractingCharacter() == null);

No, you would simple change the variable at the bottom of the script.

For example: public string npcName = "Rat";

I dont think having beginners do lambda expressions is a very good idea. Never the less, good job on the tutorial

This is moreso a "Show people how combat works"

 

Lambdas r better so might as well show them how to use them

Yeah i agree that Lambdas are better, but so is using the Task system for doing various things. My point is that if your target audience doesn't know how to make a combat script, they probably wont understand lambda expressions.

Sorry if i sound like a dick. I just read this in a sassy tone and it makes me sound like a dick xD

wasnt being sassy lol. just saying

 

i guess i can add in how to do it without lambdas

IMO you should know what it looks like and how it works and before applying lambdas and then start learning and applying them. :3
