Check if a specific entity is null?

[Rhetoric]

Area X: 2 Trees

Area Y: 1 Tree

 

How can I make is so that if my player is in Area Y and when that tree only is null, not the ones in Area X, my player runs to stand in Area X to wait for those trees to spawn or vice versa.

 

I'm hoping there is a way to check for entities in a specific area and if they are null so that I can perform an action based off that info.

id split the two areas and tree entities if that would work, then for example

 

if (treex != null && myPlayer().getInteracting() == null){

if (!myPlayer().isMoving()){

if (treex.isVisible()) {

treex.interact("chop");

}
}

}

 

else

 

if (treey != null && myPlayer().getInteracting() == null){

if (!myPlayer().isMoving()){

if (treey.isVisible()) {

treey.interact("chop");

}
}

}

 

 

Im rather new to scripting, so ignore me if im trying to go over my knowledge

That shits complicated

That shits complicated

 

Would making the character run to first cut tree when all are null be just as complicated?

        Entity tree = getObjects().closest("Yew tree");
        Area AreaY = new Area(1, 2, 3, 4);
        Area AreaX = new Area(2, 3, 4, 2);

        if (!myPlayer.isMoving() && !myPlayer.isAnimating()) {
        if (tree != null && AreaY.contains(tree.getPosition())) { //if tree exists & is in AreaY
            if (AreaY.contains(myPlayer().getPosition())) { //if we are in AreaY
                tree.interact("chop"); //chop
                return true;
            } else getWalking().walk(AreaY.getRandomPosition());//We aren't in Area Y->walk there
        }

        else if (tree != null && AreaX.contains(tree.getPosition())) { //if tree exists & in AreaX
            if (AreaX.contains(myPlayer().getPosition())) { //if we are in AreaX
                tree.interact("chop"); // chop tree
                return true;
            } else getWalking().walk(AreaX.getRandomPosition()); //we aren't in Area X->walk there
        }
