Hey everyone, I've been trying to write my first script, and needless to say it is HARD. I've come up against a wall in trying to detect whether the character has completed an action - how can I do this? The script I am working on is to cut trees, then burn them, but I'm having trouble getting the bot to not take action until the tree has been cut down. My idea was to get this working by repeating a wait command until the tree has been cut down, but how can I detect this?

use ismoving.

You mean like to see if it stopped cutting?

or you can use invcount

Pixel shift function:

Function IsCutting: Boolean;
begin
  var
    PBox: TBox;
  begin
    PBox := IntToBox(245, 130, 285, 195);
    Result := (AveragePixelShift(PBox, 250, 500) > 400);
  end;
end;

    PBox := IntToBox(245, 130, 285, 195);

Is were it is looking for moving pixels

    Result := (AveragePixelShift(PBox, 250, 500) > 400);

This:

(PBox, 250, 500) > 400);

means it returns true if there are more then 400 pixels moving in that area.

so to detect when you could stop chopping you could do something like

while IsCutting do
wait(100)

that is more accurate but ismoving function is enough for this case.

use ismoving.

IsMoving refers to the player walking as it monitors pixelshift in the minimap. Needless to say this won't do you any good for player animating.

As RJJ95 said above me you could detect your player animating through pixelshift. You can also watch your inventory for either a change in item count or a change in log count directly.

oh i forgot…haha…cos in my script i declared ismoving to pixelshifts near my char body..my bad

Pixelshift is best for you..

You can also look in the chatbox for a message to say you chopped the tree. Another way is looking for the stump color, and when you find it in the place you were chopping that means the tree is gone.

Cool, thanks for the help everyone.
