Returns

null | string

The string if it was found, or null if not.

const waitMessage = 'You must wait';

const successMessage = 'You enter a meditative trance.';

journal.clear();
const response = journal.waitForTextAny([waitMessage, failMessage, successMessage]);

switch (response) {
  case waitMessage: {
    // sleep
    break;
  }
  case failMessage: {
    // retry
    break;
  }
  case successMessage: {
    // loop
    break;
  }
}

   text: string[],
   author?: string,
   timeout?: number): string[]

Waits for EVERY string in an array of strings to be found in the Journal, or for the timeout to be hit. Returns all the strings that were found, may be less than the input if the timeout was hit.

This method is useful if you're waiting for several strings to all appear. If you want to wait for any string in the input array use waitForTextAny

Parameters

const successMessage = 'You enter a meditative trance.';

journal.clear();
const response = journal.waitForTextEvery([waitMessage, failMessage, successMessage]);

if (response.includes(successMessage)) {
  client.headMsg(`Meditating...`, player, 66);
}
