How to track XP drops?

[maximiliano1]

Hi, my Scripts needs exact time of xp drops, there's no such event handler for this (I couldn't find myself from the javadocs)?

Maybe you can store current xp in a global variable, and then check if your variable is different from current xp

public class MyAwesomeBot extends Script {

    private int currentExp;
    
    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        currentExp = getExperienceTracker().getGainedXP(Skill.STRENGTH);
    }

    @Override
    public int onLoop() {
        if(currentExp != getExperienceTracker().getGainedXP(Skill.STRENGTH)){
            log("Exp changed!");
            currentExp = getExperienceTracker().getGainedXP(Skill.STRENGTH);
        }
        return 500;
    }
}

@HeizThanks, but I'm making a pking script, so I need exact time of the XP drop not the one that is based on the onLoop callback...

Game ticks occur every ~600 ms

So you're saying that the tick == update of the game and consequently the xp updates happen on tick updates? Didn't know that

I've tested as you advised by computing the xp change directly through the onGameTick and then computing via ExperienceTracker, but still after capturing the video and checking the timings, it seems that ExperienceTracker lags behind couple ticks compared to the actual xp change.
