Feature request: Automated task selection

[Fiffers]

It'd be pretty neat if, when given a slayer task, the plugin parses the relevant ChatMessage and automatically selects the correct slayer task.

Would it be worthwhile to submit a PR for this?

That is a great idea and would be a nice addition.

I think it'd be best to have the featuee enabled by default, but allow the player to enable / disable it as well.

Great! I put a bit of work into it today. Had to brush up on regex patterns to get it to recognize a task assignment. Got it mostly working (it uses SlayerPluginPanel.openTask and closeTask) but have to solve some problems with threads before it's ready to go. Calling it a day before I get any angrier at it =)

@Fiffers This is what I did in my plugin to check what the current task is. You get the name back then I used a dictionary to translate it into the id.

You'd probably want to add bosses too. For example, Vorkath when you get blue dragons etc.
