If you know how to multithread you can easily make a listener in a new class that implements Runnable. You can basically make this new thread constantly watch your inventory slots and check if anything changes, or whatever you are trying to make it do. Just make a new class that implements Runnable, make that class do whatever you want, then in Script thread, Thread thread = new Thread(ClassName) then start the thread. I haven't used that in a while, but its something like that. Just look up the basics of multi threading and you can easily find how to make it. ^_^

Whatever you do, at least add a small sleep in between inventory updates. You don't want to kill your CPU because you want to be notified the exact millisecond your inventory changes. Waiting for even just a second will consume such little resources it won't even make a noticeable impact on the CPU usage of your script.

How big of a sleep you think it's good, 200 mil second

More like 1200 milliseconds (2 game ticks) unless you absolutely need to be notified of a change right away.

Just curious, what exactly would it be listening for ? :|

If you are going to compare inventories for equality, couldn't you just use these lines (at appropriate places of course,not stacked like this )?

 

Item[] compareThis = getInventory().getItems();

 

Item[] withThis = getInventory().getItems();

 

boolean equaliThis = compareThis  != null && withThis != null && Arrays.equals(compareThis , withThis);

Cache them and then compare the cache to the current items

Depends what you're attempting to monitor and how you want to receive notifications about changes. This should help you get started (or provide an answer for you): http://osbot.org/forum/topic/51856-inventory-monitor-keep-live-track-of-your-items/

I already created my own listener, it just people were telling me to put it in a thread, which make sences. And have the thread loop it's self.

So far I have created the thread started it once. And that's it -.-
