finding npc help

[kushad]

What im trying to do is find a specific npc

 

When he is the region of the minimap as a yellow dot or you can see him on screen visually, it finds him but when he is not in that specific region 

I have trouble scripting to find him

 

can anyone shed some light on this?

 

thanks in advance

Area yourArea = new Area(...);

NPC npc = getNpcs().filter(npc -> npc != null && yourArea.contains(npc) && npc.getName().equals("NPC NAME"));

Area yourArea = new Area(...);
NPC npc = getNpcs().filter(npc -> npc != null && yourArea.contains(npc) && npc.getName().equals("NPC NAME"));

 

Will work great if the NPC is in the area, bu here's some messy code to walk to npc if it's too far away

Filter npcFilter = new Filter<NPC>() {
			public boolean match(NPC npc) {
				return npc != null && npc.getName().equals("NPC NAME");
			}
		};
		NPC npc = npcs.closest(npcFilter);
		if (npc != null) {
			if (npc.isVisible()) {
				//Interact
			} else {
				Area npcArea = npc.getArea(6); // Radius around the NPC
				if (!npcArea.contains(myPlayer())) {
					walking.walk(npcArea);
				} else {
					camera.toEntity(npc);
				}
			}
			
		}

semi-related to this thread, but every time i use id's in my code for npcs it laggs client...
am i doing something wrong in this code?
 

NPC npc = getNpcs().closest(420);

npc.interact("use");

and before you say to use Filters/names that won't work in this situation.

Well two things here that may produce "Lag", though I think you should be getting an error in the logs. First of all check if the ID's are right, then check if the npc is found with if (npc != null) . Then a good idea would be to check if the NPC is visible, cause it won't interact with it the other way (correct me if I'm wrong). And finally, I seriously doubt that an NPC has an action "use". I don't remember the outcome if you use an action that isn't there. Either nothing happens or you'll get an error.
