How to delay checks

[Daviyow]

How do you guys delay checks like getting the range xp or what the user is wearing, do i really need to do it onLoop with a boolean, (just to check once), at the moment im doing it with onStart(), but it isnt that good because when the user is logged out and lets say the user starts the script it would be null ofcourse because he/she wasnt logged in.

 

so i would like to hear what you guys do, just simply onLoop?

what are you talking about?  put it in the onStart

I put nothing in the onStart() method and just run a loop in the start of the onLoop() method. This logs the user in and then you can check the xp and gear.

I know what you're saying. If you put it o nthe onStart() and the person starts logged out it will f up ur xp tracking. However the best way is to just use the expTracker class in OSb's api.

Yeah, but stil would be a problem for checking equipmentTab what the player is wearing :P

I think you could put something like this in your onloop

if(!checked && client.getLoginState() == 30){
            checkThings();
}

What the guy above me said. If you want to check things once, either set the variable to something it wouldn't be possible to reach when checked through the loop, or use a boolean to lock the if statement forever once the code is run.

int startXP = -1;

public void update(Script script){

if(startXP == -1){
startXP = script.getXP();
}

}

Since players don't ever have negative xp, it doesn't matter what we set that to. I do suggest that if you are needing multiple checks, to just make a superate class and place the update method at the start of your onLoop() method so it doesn't clutter stuff up for you.
