A Beginners Guide to Writing OSBot Scripts (where to get started!) by Apaec

[con m]

Great guide - as a noob I'm almost there I think... after exporting it as a JAR file within the OSBOT / script dir ... Nothing happens when I open the JAR file? 

 

See attached script looks ok to me, feel like I'm missing something simple.

Could this be the reason why? :

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
The compiler compliance specified is 1.5 but a JRE 17 is used    osbot        Compiler Compliance    JRE Compiler Compliance Problem

 

Thanks man appreciate any help.

Hey - you won't want to run the JAR directly. Rather, you should launch OSBot and the script should then show in your scripts list.

Let me know if you're still having issues!

I just wanna say

I picked up this post yesterday and put together the teathiever

Moved on to create just a basic mining script and I'm happy to say with your help and the power of Google I was able to create an incredibly basic mining script with banking. Still figuring out how to make it progressive and other fun stuff like that but just wanted to say thank you for helping kick start that journey. Here's my code for proof  (and also if you see anything in here that could be used to tidy it up or making it look better I'd always appreciate an ear :)).

Nice work, and well done getting something of your own up and running!

My main piece of advice based on your code is to focus more on reliability. An important thing to remember is that the code interacts with a live game: a complex system with many points of failure beyond your control. As a result, any game interaction might fail. For this reason, it is important that at no point you implicitly depend on an interaction succeeding. For example, on line 28 you open the bank. However, this might fail! You then immediately proceed to deposit your items on line 32 assuming the bank is open. We can't deposit items if the bank failed to open, therefore line 32 might throw an error.

A good way to avoid this is to ensure that, given a game state, only one interaction follows. E.g., the following code would be an improvement:

onLoop() {
  if (getBank().isOpen()) {
    getBank().depositAll();
  } else {
    getBank().open();
  }
}
