Calculating interactive tiles for an object

Basically this will return an array of locations that can be used to verify if you are at the object. This will fix using objects through walls if you check that you are standing in one of the returned locations.
Put this inside your RSObject class or GameObject class which ever your server uses.

Code:

---

        public final int NORTH = 2;
        public final int EAST = 8;
        public final int SOUTH = 32;
        public final int WEST = 128;

        public Location[] getInteractiveLocations() {
       
                ObjectDef def = ObjectDef.getObjectDef(getId());
               
                int xSize = def.xLength();
                int ySize = def.yLength();
                int type = getType();
               
                if (type == 10 || type == 11 || type == 22) {
                        if (getFace() == 1 || getFace() == 3) {
                                xSize = def.yLength();
                                ySize = def.xLength();
                        }
                }
                int indexSize = xSize * 2 + ySize * 2;
                int index = 0;
               
                Location[] perimeter = new Location[indexSize];
       
                // west side
                for (int i = 0; i < ySize; i++) {
                        Location w = new Location(getX() - 1, getY() + i, getZ());
                        if ((Region.getClipping(w) & EAST) == 0)
                                perimeter[index++] = w;
                }
       
                // north side
                for (int i = 0; i < xSize; i++) {
                        Location n = new Location(getX() + i, getY() + ySize, getZ());
                        if ((Region.getClipping(n) & SOUTH) == 0)
                                perimeter[index++] = n;
                }
       
                // east side
                for (int i = 0; i < ySize; i++) {
                        Location e = new Location(getX() + xSize, getY() + i, getZ());
                        if ((Region.getClipping(e) & WEST) == 0)
                                perimeter[index++] = e;
                }
       
                //south side
                for (int i = 0; i < xSize; i++) {
                        Location s = new Location(getX() + i, getY() - 1, getZ());
                        if ((Region.getClipping(s) & NORTH) == 0)
                                perimeter[index++] = s;
                }               
                Location[] validPositions = new Location[indexSize];
               
                index = 0;
               
                for (Location l : perimeter) {
                        if (l == null)
                                continue;
                       
                        if (Region.getClipping(l) < 256) {
                                validPositions[index++] = l;
                        }
                }
                return validPositions;
        }

Using this, May need to change RSObject to GameObject depends on your source.

Code:

---

        public boolean withinDistance(Player player, RSObject object) {
                Location[] interactiveLocations = object.getInteractiveLocations();
               
                for(Location location : interactiveLocations) {
                        if (location == null)
                                continue;
                        if (location.equals(player.getLocation())) {
                                return true;
                        }
                }
                return false;
        }

Thank you man, legend !

You don't take access flags into consideration.

Explain an access flag. Do you mean for dynamic objects? Because i handle those in a different way.

This is a cool little snippet but for verification you should be using the client's methods for checking if a player has reached an object (especially if you don't have server-sided pathfinding). A refactored method was recently released here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

That way the client and server will match, so the client isn't sending you to a tile where it thinks you can interact meanwhile the server is blocking interaction.

It's a flag in the object configs that indicates from which direction you can interact with the object. A furnace for example can only be interacted with if you stand in the spot where you can put in the bars.

The way i use this on my server is by taking the tile the client sends and checking if that tile is one of the tiles that this provides. So it does get the right tile assuming its a static object.

Code:

---

                if (steps > 0) {
                        RS317PathFinder.findRoute(player, path[(steps - 1)][0], path[(steps - 1)][1], true, 16, 16);
                        player.objectActionLocation = new Location(path[(steps - 1)][0], path[(steps - 1)][1], player.getZ());
                } else {
                        RS317PathFinder.findRoute(player, firstStepX, firstStepY, true, 16, 16);
                        player.objectActionLocation = new Location(firstStepX, firstStepY, player.getZ());
                }

---

Like so ^. taken out of the movement packet.

Obviously if there's no direct path to the object then "player.objectActionLocation" would be wrong and it can be verified by checking if its any of the tiles that this returns. If not then its unreachable.

I did try that snippet but it didn't work at all for me. EDITED nevermind it works good.
