Sleep() until...

I've got a little problem with my script:

I want my script to stop sleeping after it is done teleporting to my house, but the time it takes to teleport is not always the same(internet, computer speed). Can I sleep until the portal is on screen?

You could use a while statement. It isn't the greatest, but it works. The only problem is if for whatever reason the script gets interrupted while teleporting, you are out of luck and it crashes.

Code:

while (houseArea.contains(Players.getLocal().getLocation()) sleep(100);

Or use a for loop.
for(int timeout = 0; timeout < 10 && !houseArea.contains(Players.getLocal().getLocation()); timeout++){
sleep(500,1000);
}

The timeout is important, otherwise you could get stuck with an infinite loop...
But yeah, it loops while timeout < 10 and the houseArea doesn't contain your location, at the end of each loop it iterates timeout.

Hopefully that helped.

Thanks!

int timeout = 0;
while(stuff && ++timeout <= xx (15 is usually good))
sleep(100);
That way if it fails you won't get stuck in a while loop forever and is failsafed to exit after 1.5 seconds.

I prefer for loops, but each to his own I guess.
