Get type of damage?

[DrizzyBot]

Is there a way to determine what kind of damage you're taking? For example, one monster I'm fighting might use melee while another one might use ranged. Is there a way to determine how you're getting attacked so I can put on the correct prayer? Thanks!

Nope, you'd have to use the monsters animation ID to determine what attack it is using

Would it be possible to use projectiles? Of course it wouldn't differentiate ranged/mage, but at least ranged/mage and melee?

try projectiles

Would there be a more efficient way than doing this? Or is there a way to use a filter with projectiles (doubt it, took a quick look).

LinkedList<Projectile> allProj = api.projectiles.getAll();
	for (Projectile temp : allProj) {
    	if (temp.getTargetEntity().equals(api.myPlayer()) && Variables.usePrayer && !api.getPrayer().isActivated(PrayerButton.PROTECT_FROM_MISSILES)) {
            return true;
        }
   	}

My thinking is it checks if any projectile is targeted at me, if it is return true (go to the execution method).

what npcs/players are you planning on using this one maby we can give a more accurate help

ad hoc

api.projectiles.getAll()
	.stream()
	.filter(this::isProjectileTargetingMe)
	.filter(this::isProjectileARangedAttack)
	.collect(Collectors.toList());
	
private boolean isProjectileTargetingMe(Projectile p) {
	return api.myPlayer().equals(p.getTargetEntity());
}

private boolean isProjectileARangedAttack(Projectile p) {
	return p.getId() == -1; // TODO
}

1. get projectiles
2. get only projectiles targeting us
3. get only projectiles with certain ID

Then you can mess about figuring out whether you're praying the right prayer. Look into Lambda expressions for Java.

It's going to be an AIO fighter, but some areas have multiple monsters with multiple attack types (mountain trolls for example also has thrower trolls that use ranged).

Perfect, thank you.
