Creating GUI/Form

[palindrome]

I am planning on making a simple mining bot and have been looking around for information. I can't find much on making a GUI to take user input before starting the script, such as what rocks to mine etc. Do you just create a normal GUI as you would normally in Java? Or is there some specific thing you need to do for OSBot?

Nothing special for OSBot!

You can use JOptionPane for simple tasks, or even provide your own panel for a JOptionPane. Another good way to do it is extending JFrame.

Just create a GUI as you would normally do in Java, then take whatever input inside the textfield, and assign it to a variable, which then you can use to determine which rock to mine etc.

 

However, AFAIK rocks don't have a name, which means you'll either need to use IDs (Not recommend) or Colours.

Thanks for the information! Also, regarding the rocks, that was something I realized almost immediately, forgot the rocks were all just called "rocks" . Color seems like the best way to go.

I think using colors is definitely the way to go

If you want a simplistic GUI, definitely look into JOptionPane, because that's as simple as it gets.

If you want to try out being creative, you can download the source for my Glassblower script and see what I did, to see whether it helps you.

how would you use colors for rocks can you get all colors on a model or are you just doing something like getting the central pixel color.

This will get you started.
