I am writing a function that checks if a specific player is on my friendslist, and not sure what I am missing in here...

public boolean isFriend(String name) {
        RS2Widget widget = script.widgets.get(429, 9);
        if (widget == null)
            return false;

        for (RS2Widget friend : widget.getChildWidgets()) {
            if (friend.getMessage().equals(name)) {
                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

The following code works pretty well if the name is not separated.

Example of a working check: abc123 -> If is on the list, returns true, otherwise, returns false

Example of a non-working check: the king -> this will keep returning false whether or not the player is on my friend list

 

Thanks in advance!

The player names in the widgets probably have non-breaking spaces instead of regular spaces:
 

if (friend.getMessage().replace('\u00A0', ' ').equals(name))

Or at the top of your function:

name = name.replace(' ', '\u00A0');

Wow, it fixed it. Thanks!

Maybe just one more question, please. How do I know which one to use and when?

Can check while debugging in OSBots widget debugger
