Logger says NPC is null but in reality it isn't?

[Acerd]

This has never happened to me so I'm kind of confused why this is happening; basically it walks to an area and interacts with NPC and logs that npc isnt null, goes to bank and then goes back to the area , however this time it logs that the NPC is null.

What am I doing wrong?

code:

NPC npc = getNpcs().closest("NPC"); // onloop
     if (!area.contains(myPlayer()) {
       getWalking().webWalk(area);
            } else {
          if (npc != null) {
       log("npc is not null");
         npc.interact();
          } else {
    log("npc is null");
        }
}

getWalking().webWalk(area);
} else if (npc != null) {

Get closest npc when you're inside the area

why not try 

 

1.    NPC Goblin = npcs.closest("Goblin");
2.             if (Goblin != null && !(Goblin.isUnderAttack())) //getMap().canReach(Goblin)
3.             {
4.                 if (Goblin.isVisible())
5.                 {
6.                     Goblin.interact(new String[]{"Attack"});
7.                     new ConditionalSleep(3000)
8.                     {                  
9.                         @Override
10.                         public boolean condition() throws InterruptedException
11.                         {
12.                             return myPlayer().isAnimating() || myPlayer().getInteracting() != null;
13.                         }
14.                     }.sleep();
15.                     }
16.                 }
17.                 else if (!Goblin.isVisible())
18.                 {
19.                      this.camera.toEntity((Entity) Goblin);
20.                      if (Goblin.exists() && !Goblin.isVisible())
21.                      {
22.                          walking.walk(Goblin);
23.                          while(myPlayer().isMoving()) {
24.                                sleep(250);
25.                            }
26.                 }

some unreadable code

 

In the future please use the code tags to format your code when posting/commenting in the scripting help section.

You can only detect NPC's when they are actualy visible on the minimap.

thats about 16 tiles from your player.
