How to hover over skillpane to check xp?

Tho in actuality there is an enum of Skills named Skill. To access the prayer skill you just use Skill.Prayer

[slasso 27]

ur field that you declared "Skill prayer" is null, as it it has no value assigned to it. 

 

You have to set a value to it by using the = operator.

 

How is java to know you want the prayer tab if you don't set a value? All it sees is you created a field with the type Skill and named it prayer.

His problem is that he's trying understand when he can use certain methods. Player does not have a hoverSkill() method.

I began at your level. Just do things step by step and eventually there will be a point where some puzzle pieces fall together and you understand why certain things work and don't work.

 

Just keep playing around with codes and ask the things you don't understand. The most important part is try to think which steps you manually take to do things, that's how you also command the computer.

 

In your case: to hover a skill you need to do the following things in order:

1. open skill tab if it's not open
2. chose a random skill or a skill you want to check on
3. hover it
4. (optional) go back to inventory tab

 

That being said, your code will be something like this:

if(getTabs().isOpen(Tab.STATS)){
   if(getSkills().hoverSkill(Skill.PRAYER)){  //will return TRUE if it successfully hovered skill, else FALSE
      getTabs.open(Tab.INVENTORY);  //can also put an if-statement to make sure it opens tab even when missclicked
   }
} else {
   getTabs().open(Tab.STATS);  //if the tab stats is not open, open it. The if statement on top will return false if its not open, so it skips the following code after the "{" bracket.

Something like that .

Errrr.. Yeah.. You can save it to a variable, but does that really make a difference? If i call the variable, i also call the method unless i create the variable on startup? I mean, calling a method won't store any data permanently does it?

 

 

sexy! thanks

No problem dude. I still make many mistakes and learn from them, it's just the progress of your Java skill .

I don't mean in terms of memory, it wouldn't make any difference what so ever. I'm talking about cleanliness, the line would be shorter and less verbose

Well first of all i think using a variable for just "getTabs()" is more confusing than just typing the method. But thanks for the tip!

 

Second of all i tried to keep it as simple as i could for OP
