How to tell if player is smelting?

[Spoola]

Hi guys,

Right now for my cannonball smelting script, I am using Reflect.Inv.WaitChange to see if the player is currently smelting cannonballs as it checks to see if the inventory has changed in the past interval. Problem with that is that smelting cannonballs takes a while per smelt, so I have to use like 14-16 seconds as my range for that function, which makes the script really inefficient as it can lead to up to a 16 second wait after the player is done smelting for the script to realize that its time to bank. My question is: is there another function that can be used to check if the player is currently in the process of smelting?

After a quick look in the reflection include (Includes\reflection\lib\core\renderable -> LocPlayer), maybe this is what you are looking for:

function TReflectLocalPlayer.IsAnimating: Boolean;
begin
Result := Self.GetAnimation > -1;
end;

You could also check if the 28th inventory slot is empty, as when you smith a set of 4 cannonballs, the steel bar is used which leaves you with a finished inventory of 1 mould and however many cannonballs.

The problem with that though is that if the smelting gets interrupted for whatever reason, then the script would think that the player is still smelting as the 28th inventory slot would still have a Steel bar.

Idk much about OSR but maybe you could add an integer variable and do something like

for i := 1 to 28 do
  if {a line that checks if there is an item in slot i} then
    if Reflect.Inv.WaitChange(randomRange(14000,16000)) then
      wait(50)   //or antiban or anything you want it to do
    else
      break;  // breaks out of the loop if no change is detected

The above code will loop through all the inventory slots and only wait for a change if an item has been detected in that slot, and will stop after item 28, so it wont wait extra. That is how I would do it in RS3 if there wasn't a progress screen. However this might not work for the first slot, because there isn't technically a change in the count, with the first slot because it is being replaced by cannon balls.

Make a DTM of that bar you're smelting. If the DTM ceases to exist in the last slot, you've smelted all your bars.

you could count items in inventory, wait 4.5 seconds (cannonbals take 4 secs) and if count1 = count2 then your stuck. You'll ussually get stuck because of lvl up.

This is what i used in my cannonbals script for aerolib... its messy and has lots of stuff it doesent need, but i didnt put much effort into it, check if you get any ideas from it. This one checks for steel every 1.5 secs, so when you've done the full inventory it'll finish.

function waitBalls: boolean;
var
  tries, x, y: integer;
  TPA: TPointArray;
  T: Timer;
begin

  T.start;

  repeat
  inc(tries);
  antiban(1200);
  if not isLoggedIn() then
    exit;
  if not findDTMs(Steel_DTM, TPA, 548, 204, 734, 465) then
    break;
  wait(randomrange(1000, 1500));
  if random(20) = 1 then
    report;
  if random (10) = 1 then
    writeln('Waiting to finish smelting');
  if findDTM(level_DTM, x, y, 6, 347, 513, 476) then
  begin
    writeln('We leveled up');
    exit(false);
  end;
  until false or tries >= 300;

  if tries >= 300 then
    writeln('Exit Script, something is wrong.');

  if tries < 300 then
    result:= true;

  if result = true then
    TripReady := false;

  if random (15) = 1 then
    wait(randomrange(20000, 60000));

  writeln('function waitBalls := ' + tostr(result));

end;

The problem with that though is that if the smelting gets interrupted for whatever reason, then the script would think that the player is still smelting as the 28th inventory slot would still have a Steel bar.

Then you would combine this method with another, such as an animation function (back when I used to code I utilised PixelShift).

Whats with all this checking for the last slot stuff just check to see if the inventory contains any steel bars or not
