I know how to code java and I'm just wondering, what do I use to write the scipts? I know what to write, just not where to write it, if you get what I mean?

Scripts are written in IDEs as well such as Eclipse. ^_^

Notepad or any IDE. Eclipse is a free IDE you can use to create projects.

If you know how to code, then take a look at the API and get to know it

The Main class of your script must extends the class Script which contains the main methods of every basic script

onStart

onLoop

onEnd

onPaint

Only good video I've ever been able to find about coding for OSBot. Really helped me out with the basics. If you already know how to write a script then just watch the first few minutes where he shows you how to download Eclipse, set up a new class, etc.

thanks for the help everyone

I prefer IntelliJ over Eclipse, investigate into both!

I prefer Eclipse all day! Eclipse is the best IDE ever!

Thats right now ^

Eclipse all the way!

I think it really depends on what you want to bring forward with you java. I personally think Netbeans has a way better JPanel designer (Eclipse's Windowbuilder really sucks) but since I got used to eclipse before I knew about netbeans I just use both.

 

If you want to max out the things that both IDE's offer I think you will be able to do more with eclipse eventually but when you start out you it wont really matter

put some effort in getting comfortable with an IDE, such as eclipse or intelIJ, as none of them are better. they're both very good and take some getting used to, but it's pretty much personal preference in the beginning.

 

here's a great book if you prefer reading instead of watching youtube vids(as personally do, as it's easier to skip things I already knew) but again, personal preference
