Shortest Path Notification

Shortest Path Action

The Shortest Path action sets or clears a navigation route in the Shortest Path plugin. It requires the Shortest Path plugin to be installed in RuneLite.

Fields

Mode

Mode	Effect
Path	Sets a route from a start point to a target point
Clear	Clears the current Shortest Path route

Start (X, Y, Plane) (Path mode only)

The starting tile of the route. Uses world coordinates.

Use Current Location (Path mode only)

When checked, your character's current position is used as the start point, ignoring the Start coordinate fields.

Target (X, Y, Plane) (Path mode only)

The destination tile of the route.

Practical Examples

• Farming run automation: when a farming patch timer fires, set the path to that patch's nearest bank or the patch itself.
• Post-quest navigation: after detecting a quest completion message, plot a path to the next objective's location.

Notes

• Shortest Path must be installed and enabled; otherwise this action silently does nothing.
• If the target is unreachable, Shortest Path will display its normal "no path found" behavior.
• To clear the path when you arrive, combine with a Location Alert near the target and a Shortest Path action in Clear mode.
