Generating straight path

[iJodix]

So if i have current loaded region tiles loaded into a list, how am i supposed to generate a straight path(ignoring objects) to npc using those tiles ?

Someone told me to use A* algorithm but i have no ideas where to start, welps ?

Is generating the path yourself necessary? Couldn't you just the OSBot's walking/webwalking i.e. walking.webWalk(position) or walking.walk(position)

I would've not posted if it wasn't necessary.

What is this used for?

if you're ignoring obstacles, you could just do something like this

Position source = myPosition();
Position dest = new Position(x, y, z);

List<Position> path = new ArrayList<>();
Position tmp = source;
while (!tmp.equals(dest)) {
    int xOff = Integer.compare(dest.getX(), tmp.getX());
    int yOff = Integer.compare(dest.getY(), tmp.getY());
    tmp = tmp.translate(xOff, yOff);
    path.add(tmp);
}

Written in hand, so watch for errors. Not sure why you want to use a region in the form of a list of positions
