So I'm trying to use sleep until one of my widgets in query is visible, how would I do this?

 

Example of current code - 

 

        RS2Widget displaytaken = getWidgets().getWidgetContainingText(558, "Sorry, this display name is not available");
        RS2Widget displayabl = getWidgets().getWidgetContainingText(558, "Great! This display is available");

               keyboard.typeString(rsn);
               
               // I want to sleep after the above until " displayabl " or " displaytaken " is visible ( due to the delay of server response and also to make my script more efficient )
               // It would also be useful to know in this example for future reference, as straight the if statement below, there's another response that has a delay

                if(displaytaken != null && displaytaken.isVisible()) {

                    log("Display name is taken!");

                }
                else if(displayabl !=null && displaytaken.isVisible()) {

                    log("Setting display name!");
                    setname.hover();
                    mouse.click(false);

                }

 

I'm still pretty new to Botting and I know while/recursion loops are discouraged, but maybe this is an okay time to use one? I also haven't used widgets, but maybe this would work.

while(!displaytaken.isVisible() && !displayabl.isVisible()) {
sleep(10);
}

I don't know if I fully understand what you're asking, but I hope this helped.

Best way to do this without freezing the whole script when it fails is this:

 

package mac;

public interface Condition {
	
	boolean evaluate();

}

 

	public boolean waitUntil(Condition c, int interval, int tries) throws InterruptedException {
		while (!c.evaluate()) {
			sleep(interval);
			if (tries == 0)
				return false;
			tries--;
		}
		return true;
	}

 

and then to use these

waitUntil(() -> widget.isVisible(), 200, 50);
if(!widget.isVisible()) return; //or whatever

//then here your amazing code

 

Which will try to see if the widget is visible every 200ms and try 50 times. 

 

Use a ConditionalSleep, it's exactly what they're for. 

The following snippet means "Sleep for 3 seconds, or until condition() returns true, where condition() is checked every 600ms"
 

new ConditionalSleep(3000, 600) {
    @Override
    public boolean condition() {
        RS2Widget widget = getWidgets().getWidgetContainingText(
                               558,
                               "Sorry, this display name is not available",
                               "Great! This display is available"
                           );
        return widget != null && widget.isVisible();
    }
}.sleep();

I already have a solution for the display name setter, if you would like to take a look. It just types some random String into the box, and then select one of the suggestions
