Queues

Most in game actions are queued.

The priority of a queued action is either weak, normal, strong

A weakqueue is cancelled if the player clicks away - commonly used for Make-X. Queues are weak / strong / normal. https://github.com/RuneStar/leaks/blob/master/153.txt

A standard one will wait if you have a menu open, and execute when it closes. A strong one will close menus to execute itself sooner. https://github.com/RuneStar/leaks/blob/master/142.txt

Both npcs and players have queues

Runescript queue has the format queue(type, tick delay)(parameters)

npc_queue(npc_say,2)

combat_clearqueue & player_end_poison

weakqueue*(smith_generic,3)

clearqueue(fade_clear)

soul-wars bandage heal queue

Ai queues

Are they related?

Interaction Movement

Can’t be suspended if right next too - means there’s a pre-movement check Can be suspended if have to move to reach target - Movement isn’t suspended like walk to tile Only walk to tile can have movement-suspended on the first tick

Food

Doesn’t stop movement, stops action at end of movement

Pot + food doesn’t work in the same tick, only food + pot

Kara + food takes normal delay 1 tick healing must be Food + Pot + Karambwan

Bury bones

Stops movement, but movement is allowed to start after first tick (animations combine and still get xp later)

Drop item & alching

Doesn’t stop movement, does stop action at the end of movement

All actions cancels walking and combat, closes interfaces

• Emotes
• Bury bones
• Dropping items
• Using one item on another
• Using item on a npc

Appears all player actions close interfaces

Interfaces

Interfaces that pause movement

• Skill guides
• Dialogues (Is it dialogues or is it leveling up itself?)

Opening a skill guide will stall an action from performing e.g attacking, picking up an item until the interface is closed

Interfaces that don’t stop movement

• Quest guides
• Achievement guides
• Clan setup

Interfaces that stop movement

• Settings
• Equipment/Price Checker/Items kept on death

Questions

• Are delays handled before or as part of the queue?
• If all actions clear queues, what about poison?
• What queue priorities cancel what? - Cancels all priority queues below it, except poisons? see above

• Are interfaces part of the queue?

• How do actions which a player can’t click out of work? (Obstacles, Ectofunctus) - Just queue 3 actions with the correct delays, unfreezing the player after
• How do animations play into this? (Teleporting, Emotes) - Not all emotes suspend hits, most suspend movement?
• Are dialogues part of the queue? - Yes definitely, level up suspends combat
• If something is added to the queue by a queue action, does it activate on the same tick or the next one? - Same, delay depending.
• When is a queue processed, is it each tick or more frequently?
