Hi, I was trying to create a method similar to walking.walkPath(path), but rather than pre-defining the path with positions, I wanted to randomly grab a position from an area, to try create some randomization to the path.

So far I came up with 
 

List<Position> pathToWalk = new ArrayList<>();
private void walkCustomPath(List<Area> areaList){
		pathToWalk.clear();
		for(int x = 0; x < areaList.size(); x++){
			pathToWalk.add(areaList.get(x).getRandomPosition());
		}
		walking.walkPath(pathToWalk);
	}

This works, but the walking is very gross compared to a regular pre-defined path with static positions, so I suppose what I was wondering is if there's a better way to go about this? Thanks

What is 'very gross' about it? 

A few more details about how its acting would be helpful

why not just use that 
to "generate" the list of tiles, 1 from each area
then use the walk path method using that generated path

public class LocalPathFinder
extends java.lang.Object
An path finder that uses the AStar algorithm and the local map region.

thanks, but I don't think the path is actually local, it goes off the length of one minimap, so localpathfinder can't seem to route to it

you could find and object that you know will be loaded each time and walk to it with a little position variance

You're already became botlike by selecting where you click based on coordinates. Players don't do that, they just spam click in the general direction. ;) Unless there are intricate obstacles being traversed. If you go to the web walking nodes on F2p you can notice massive amounts of bots all taking the same paths. So it's not exactly dynamic right out of the box, in the sense of players misnavigating and such. But it could be adjusted to do this. The easiest mix of the two would be to use webwalking but select each event you send based on easiest click x, y not "best" random tile
