Hello,

I came up with an idea today that could help soms scripters. As some may know, several scripts may need to perform an action before logging out. (Example: combat scripts may need to walk to a safe location; or hunter scripts may need to pick up their traps, as otherwise those will be lost.)

I came up with the idea for an onBreak() method, handled similar to onStart() and onStop().

The idea is fairly simple: when the break timer reaches 0, the script will execute the onBreak() method (if it exists, if not stop and break immediently) after the script gets to finish the onBreak method, the client will then start taking a break. And the script can simply restart after the break is over.

Hope to see this implented, could be very useful, and I don't think it is very hard to make.

Sincerly, Alex

could be usefull for some scripts like combat indeed ;)

onBreak()

onPause()

onResume()

would be very useful for a lot of people

I haven't looked into it but don't you add it as a custom random event handler for the break random?

 

edit: yeah you just have to write your own RandomBehaviourHook for the BreakManager random.

 

Although it's talking about an error (which is now fixed), this thread has an example of how you would do something like this for the Miles/Niles/Giles random http://osbot.org/forum/topic/3231-randombehaviourhook-not-working-correctly/

I am not sure, because I haven't looked into it that much either, but don't you think it would be way more usefull if each scripter could write their own onBreak method? Every script needs different handling before it would take a break

the tree node system basically does that, it will only activate the node when the conditions are met, which could be only execute it when you run out of materials etc

I believe breaks use the random event systems? so http://osbot.org/forum/topic/2807-random-management-system-new-account-gui/ would apply to them? Correct me if im wrong.

This would be very useful for all scripters. I'm sure the dev team will add something like this into v1.8 or beyond.

would like to see onResume() and onPause() too.
