getNPCS().closest, i want to find the second closest npc cause closest is in combat

[MGT Madness]

As title says, this is because the closest npc is already in combat, so i'd like the bot to find the second closest npc to attack.

Rather than sit there until a new close npc spawns xD

 

- Thank you for your time

There's better way. Don't use closest at all.

Filter through all the npcs and find ones that are not in combat.

use npcs.getAll()

 

for example :

For(NPC n : npcs.getAll()) {

if (!n.isincombat... etc

}

You can apply a filter before selecting the closest npc:
 

npcs.closest(n -> !n.isUnderAttack())

[Bobrocket]

getNpcs().closest(NPC NAME, (n) -> (!n.isUnderAttack()));

Without using OSBot filters/DIY: You can do this by grabbing all the NPCs and then sorting the collection with a Comparator. Once you have this sorted collection you can iterate through them to check for everything else such as already in combat, health, etc. Of course you can do this in reverse and filter NPCs that aren't in combat, have high health, etc. and then go on to sort the collection.

For some reason im getting an error in eclipse im not sure if im using it correctly.

NPC npc;
npc = script.getNpcs().closest(target,(n) -> (!n.isUnderAttack()));

(script is being passed into the constructor and save in a private variable)

Your fine then. Booby rocket wrote it like that assuming the class extended script. But if you are using a private field it's ok.

The error is probably because your project isn't compile under java 8

you need java 8 to run the apps and jdk 1.8 to be able to code with java 8. Once you have both installed you just change the setting your ide.

 

im on the phone so i can show you right now
