I've noticed when running OSBot in debug mode I am getting a lot of null pointer errors because my bot is not logged in yet and the world has not loaded. Is there a best practise method for holding the script until the world is correctly loaded in?

Cheers!

if(getClient().isLoggedIn())

This returns true during the "Loading please wait" message aswell, and items will still return null.

I've never had an issue with this and I use it alongside ingame widgets that are only visible once things are loaded, but noted

Any checks for world loaded? Maybe checking if the character is visible...? lol

widgets -> singleFilter -> parent 548 ->hasAction Look North 

 

Sorry in a rush can't write the code, check if that widget is visbile 

I like to use player indexes on first startup

 

if (getClient().getMyPlayerIndex() > 0) { //or whatever
	//.....
}

public boolean isLoggedIn()

Returns if you are currently logged in.

Returns:

True if logged in and not logged out or 'loading please wait...'.

Is the api docs out of date? or is the description wrong?

Not sure, but isLoggedIn() always bugs out for me when checking for items 

Check for item in inventory 

 

Couldn't you just check if the player is visible?
