How do I retrieve information from RS?

[xaklon 10]

How can I fetch data from the bot, like the output line when the action is taken to prospect an ore, or to examine an object? 

 

I want to fetch this data, retrieve it as a String, and then simply create a check in my script with the output.

you get data from rs by right clicking stuff & clicking examine

are you talking about the game outputting messages to the chat when you do something?
if so just implement MessageListener in the script

That's what I was talking about, thank you so much! Super helpful as always! 

Thanks so much Neffarion!

 

Side q, not to start another thread: what is the actual code that I must write to actually code my JFrame rather than using WindowBuilder? I am familiar with AWT but not how it interacts with the external archives.

Kinda confused on what you really want to know.

Just create a normal JFrame (with any swing frame designer or by yourself) and onStart inside the script you just open it

Right, the issue I was having was that in onStart() I cannot add the JFrame to the component, and i can't extend JComponent. Would you make it a completely separate GUI class and just have them interact as classes?

 

Again, your help is amazing! Let me know if you need more clarity. Thanks Neffarion.

What i usually do is have a class that is the JFrame itself (example: MyFrame.java)

public class MyFrame extends JFrame {

private main script;
public MyFrame(main s){
   script = s;
   ....
}

// Your other gui stuff....

}

Then on your main method where you have the onLoop and onStart

private MyFrame gui;


....



public void onStart(){
main m = this;
try {
    SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {               
                    gui = new MyFrame(m);
                    gui.setVisible(true);
                }
            });
            while (gui.isVisible()) {
                sleep(500);
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            MethodProvider.log(ex.toString());
        }
}

Now you can just access either from both sides for whatever you need

There is probably other ways but this one works if you want to use it.

You're awesome man - you should post that as a tutorial for others! Yeah, got it perfectly now w/ your help.
