Hi guys, I just want to bring this to everyone's attention.

The normal player moves the mouse relative to the position of all objects on screen.

Let me explain:

Say I'm running toward something which has a door in the way. When I want to interact with that door, I adjust my mouse's speed based on the velocity of my character. This turns into the mouse fixated on the door as my player is moving.

The way the bot works is it instantaneously finds the coordinate of the door, moves the mouse to it, checks if it's over it and clicks. This is HIGHLY inefficient and makes scripts which are constantly in motion very difficult to monitor missclicks.

The solution to this problem?

When moveMouse() is called, calculate the distance the mouse is away from the object. This is close to the distance the mouse will travel.

Calculate how many pixels per second the mouse moves based on what it's set to in the script.

Calculate how long it will take to move the mouse to the object - time (s) = (pixels) * (s/pixel)

Calculate the velocity of the character - walking = 1 tile/s | running = 2 to;es/s (not sure)

Extrapolate the position of the door to where it will be in the time we calculated before. (angle of minimap plays heavily into this)

Move the mouse to the extrapolated position and check if it is over the door. click if need be.

The nice part of this is the mouse can easily be made to 'follow' an entity on screen while the player is in motion.

if this is implemented, you will see a HUGE efficiency increase in almost all scripts.

Please don't let this thread fall into the bottomless pits of osbot. This is beneficial to everyone.

Zach responded to my PM and asked me for proof this is happening.

Ok then.

and.. this is how a human follows the object

Agreed, whatever algorithm their using for mouse movements right now is terrible

I can't tell you how many times I see the mouse spin in circles trying to click something..

Yea that too has happened to me way too many times..

I love this idea! Very well explained as well I don't see why this would be rejected other than it being a hassle to implement which I don't believe it is.

Never even noticed that haha.

Support!

Support it aswell

Everyone should contact the developers about this. The most exposure about the problem the better.

Support please.

I totally agree with this. It's terrible. Not like I could do a better job anyway haha. :P

Support ;)

I've tried to contact the developers about so many issues, but I guess OSBot 2 is their top priority right now. Kinda sad how their attempting to make a number 2 when they can't even get 1 working.
