Checking for a suitable firemaking space

[DirtyDick]

Hi guys - apologies in advance this is my first script but I'm trying to set up a method that locates a safe 5x1 area to firemake.

I've declared my current position and the position 5 tiles west of my current position to create a 5x1 area

	public void tileCheck() {
		Position myPosition = myPlayer().getPosition();
		Position minusFivePosition = new Position((myPosition.getX()-5), myPosition.getY(), myPosition.getZ());
		Area safeToFiremake = new Area(minusFivePosition, myPosition);

From here, I'm a bit stuck. I want to create an if statement that says "If safeToFiremake does not contain any objects, firemake, else move somewhere else"

I've been browsing the api for a while and I couldn't find a way to check a defined area doesn't contain any objects - I would be grateful for any advice please

Look at the method getEmptyPosition near the bottom, you could just take it and change it around a bit to check a full area

Perfect - thank you so much!
