UPdating Text Box

[athenso]

I want to have a text box display the current exp. I would like it to update every 1 second and update the new exp to the text box. Im not sure how.




Also, im trying to make an auto attacker (simple version). Right now it does work but it wont refresh to see it working, how do i refresh the "action" so it knows the box is enabled. It will attack the first monster but wont attack a second.

you can use simple winforms timers to update textbox's content

                int ms = 1000;
                System.Windows.Forms.Timer expTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
                
                expTimer.Interval = ms;
                expTimer.Tick += (sender, e) => { expTextBox.Text = ReadExp().ToString(); };
                expTimer.Start();

supposing you have an expTextBox and a ReadExp function, ofc.

You may get confused with line "expTimer.Tick += (SENDER, E) => ...", this is because I'm lazy and do not like to write something like:

expTimer.Tick += new System.EventHandler(expTimer_Tick);

and somewhere write:

void expTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      expTextBox.Text = ReadExp().ToString();
}

Right now i have

 Client C = Client.GetClients()[0];
            Player P;

            P = C.GetPlayer();
            richTextBox1.Text = (P.Experience.ToString());

on the load to get the current exp. I am un certin on how to call it other wise.

What is ur ReadExp().ToString();

?

function that returns your character's experience

EDIT:
drop a timer from the toolbox to your form.
double click it to add a ticker event

update your richtextbox there

[athenso]

 Client C = Client.GetClients()[0];
            Player P;

            P = C.GetPlayer();

            int ms = 1000;
            System.Windows.Forms.Timer expTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

            expTimer.Interval = ms;
            expTimer.Tick += (sender, e) => { richTextBox1.Text = (P.Experience.ToString()); };
            expTimer.Start();

This is what i have by the timer, and the Clinet c = client.getClinets() is throwing an error. and the tiker event im having an error with too. Sorry its been a long night.

[Blequi]

if you are facing error in this function, probably you are not being able to find a client, so probably you indexing an array with no elements.

looks like you are using tibiaapi, right? For what version are you using it? Error in "GetClients" is probably because you have not started up a Tibia before call it.

paste full error here

[athenso]

+ $exception {"Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."} System.Exception {Tibia.Exceptions.NotLoggedInException}
+ this {Buster_Bot.BusterB, Text: Buster B.} Buster_Bot.BusterB
ms 0 int
expTimer null System.Windows.Forms.Timer
+ C {[8.70] Chaoss} Tibia.Objects.Client
P null Tibia.Objects.Player


Yes i am using TibiaAPI. Just want to build an OT helper. I do have a tibia client open and logged in when trying.

[Blequi]

apparently, you are using an outdated version, since you are stating to be logged in, but on the other hand the bot is throwing an "NotLoggedInException".
There's no much that I can do to help you.

[athenso]

I have it almost working now. I have

timer1.Tick +=  expTextBox.Text = ("Experience: " + P.Experience.ToString());

and im getting an error, but if i can get that to work it should all work smoothly

You could always use a new thread, i.e:

Import threading lib:

using Threading;

Declare new thread in your class but not inside a function:

Thread myExpIncrementer;

Declare new instance of a Thread based on ExpIncrementFunction (add this to formload):

myExpIncrementer = new Thread(ExpIncrementFunction);

ExpIncrementFunction (Add this in class but not in a function):

public void ExpIncrementFunction()
{
            while (true)
            {
                        this.Dispatcher.Invoke(delegate {
                                    expTextBox.Text= "Xp: " + P.Experience.ToString();
                        });
                        Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
}

Add a button which will "start" the thread (Make a button, double click it, and insert this in the Button1_Click(objects sender, SystemEventArgs e) function):

myExpIncrementer.Start()
