Why does the bot hover ABOVE the item it wants to interact with?

So I am learning the API of Dreambot and making a simple Cowhide looter/Cow killer that banks in Al-Kharid. The script works pretty good, but sometimes it just messes up and I have to restart the script.

 

Basically the bot does not click on the cows to attack nor clicks on the cowhides to loot. Instead it "tries" to click it while hovering ABOVE the item thus not getting the interact option at all.

This only happens sometimes, and when it does happen - a restart is needed. Is this a bug with Dreambot or something wrong with my code?

        if (groundItem != null)
        {
            log("Taking cowhides.");
            //get current inv count
            int inventoryCount = getInventory().fullSlotCount();
            //take cowhide
            if (!groundItem.isOnScreen())
            {
                getCamera().rotateToEntity(groundItem);
            }
            if (groundItem.interact("Take"))
            {
                //sleep until it is picked up or after 6 seconds.
                if(sleepUntil(() -> getInventory().fullSlotCount() > inventoryCount, 6000))
                {
                    hidesLooted++;
                }
            }

        }

It keeps twitching the camera a little (like the item is not on screen, but really small camera movements) and hovers above the item instead of actually putting the cursor on the item and interacting.

Make sure your client is at default zoom and fixed video mode.

Thanks, I forget that when debugging and zooming etc.

Yeah, it is so we can be 100% sure that we picked up something.

Dreambot's client automatically sets the fixed static video, so that's not a big deal. The zoom is different though
