Scripting 101

[cbizz 1]

First and foremost thank you for the tutorial it was very helpful! I am confused on how I can get my JcomboBox trigger my bot to walk to a chosen area and how I could set up my loop to preform that action.

 

I know I can do something like

 

if (GE_AREA.contains(getLocalPlayer)); {

         }

   else (

       if (getWalking().walk(GE_AREA.getRandomTile()))

 

but how could I set it up so that it would check for the JcomboBox's String first so it knows what location?

 

I appreciate any help!

I've followed everything you've done for the GUI perfectly (aside from adding more options for the enemies), but when I build it I get the error that java ')' expected in place of -> in the button.addActionListener(1 -> { ....           

I am not sure why this is happening, and dont know how to resolve this issue. Still pretty new at all of this so maybe I've just missed something, any help is greatly appreciated. 

 

for reference this is exactly what I have down 

button.addActionListener(1 -> {
    foodName = foodNameTextField.getText(); //store inputted food name
    lootBones = lootCheckBox.isSelected();
    /*
    our enemyComboBox was filled with strings but getselecteditem returns an object. This means we need to call
    .tostring() on the object to get the selected string.
     */
    enemyName = enemyComboBox.getSelectedItem().toString();

    isRunning = true;  // now our script will start looping our code.
    frame.dispose();  //closes the GUI window
});

It's an L not a one.

Lol thank you, hard to tell the difference between the two.

Very helpful tut, thank you. I have a question regarding abstract vs task. In task, is there no need to loop through each node in the onloop? Or just declaring then in start is enough? Im on mobile so I apologize if I missed it but your task code didn't appear to overwrite onloop.

Also, currently in my first script, I'm using abstract but also nodes and running for each node in my onloop (checking the state of the script I've defined), is this ok? And is there a better way to pass my main class to the nodes than passing the whole class each time? Im using both public and private variables (private all have get set obviously) but just curious if there's a better practice than what I've currently done. It feels very sloppy to me lol but it's also pretty half-assed (some of my classes are very messy) and it's just a rs script so I'm not too worried because it works, but my OCD is killing me lol.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the "always check for null" tidbit, I haven't been doing that consistently and there are a few null pointers plaguing my script, I'll be more cautious now

You're looping in the main class already, that's where you need to go through your nodes, or tasks, and activate them (that's why you have the accept method there, it activates the node if the condition is true) . So there's no need for onloops on the node classes if that makes any sense at all.

I can't really help you with the second question because I haven't seen your code; but what I found out is that you just gotta practice coding and you get better at it, and figure stuff out, the more you do it.

This guide is very helpful! You helped me alot with the basics of the GUI's.
Now I can extend it to my likings!
Thanks!
