Selecting ALL npcs or ground items.

[sonda]

How would I go about selecting all of the nearby same npcs or geounditems , specifically - I want to drawmodel of all of the al-Kharid warriors && arrows on the ground 

 currently I’m using npcs.closest(“al-Kharid warrior”) and the same for the ground items and it works great and all but it only selects (obviously) the closest to me. When two are the same distance away it just jumps between both.

getAll()

Yea, I seen that in the api and I tried using it - but I don’t properly know how to I guess.

More specifically

npcs.getAll(“al-kharid warrior”);

does not work the same as closest, what am I doing wrong ?

[dreameo]

Try this:

List<NPC> t = getNpcs().getAll().stream().filter((n) -> n.getName().equals("al-kharid warrior")).collect(Collectors.toList());

I suggest tho doing it out long way before doing this one ^.

It's because getall will scan the whole area and check for npcs of that name. It'll then add it to a list which is far different from just using npc.closest(). 

If you want to highlight all the monsters/ground items you simply have to loop through the list in onPaint and draw their models/tiles and what not. 

Just make sure to null check! Else you'll be in for a treat :3

not null checking is the best feeling ever, don't you just love when the game freezes?

Simplest way would be:

List<NPC> warriors = getNpcs().filter(new NameFilter<>("Al-Kharid warrior"));
