yeah jagen, what do you mean?

They were non existant last time I used them... ages ago anyway

I just use strings/variables without prefixes, which works fine.

thiso.strings exist. Haven't had any luck with thiso.vars yet though

They both work.

Still messed up
 

Stefan, I did what your doc said about the actionprojectile and it still doesn't work. I did the serverside one. Also, clientside doesnt work either. Only actionprojectile2 works. Is there something wrong with my server or something? Name of my server is Altair. Please reply as soon as possible. I want to make cool bows :(

Is your actionprojectile in the Control-NPC?

Yes
 

Yes it is in the Control-NPC. I also tried putting it a DB npc as clientside and serverside. And only actionprojectile2 works. There has to be a problem somewhere. It's messed up that just because i take away the 2 from actionprojectile, it doesn't work and when i add the 2 to actionprojectile it works. And i know there is a difference between both statements. But I did what stefan put in his docu and it still only works with actionprojectile2!!!

Posting Script
 

Here is the script for my bow, control-npc and class. Help me find the problem!!!!!

Re: Posting Script
 

perhaps to be putting the join commands at the top of the script?

Re: Re: Posting Script
 

Nah, mine work fine and I put them at the end of the serverside parts.

Hmm, I don't know. =o

There's something I don't understand. What's the different between actionprojectile and actionprojectile2?

NPC Code:

---

//Script From Class hpfunctions

function attackplayers() {

  pid = playerid;

  pindexes = getnearestplayers(this.attackx,this.attacky,player  id!=pid);

  dist  = 0;

  for (i=0; i<arraylen(pindexes); i++) {

    with (players[pindexes[i]]) {

      dx = playerx + 1.5 - this.attackx;

      dy = playery + 2   - this.attacky;

      dist = (dx*dx + dy*dy)^0.5;

      if (dist<=2)

        hurtplayer();

    }

    if (dist>2)

      break;

  }

}

function hurtplayer() {

  newhp = playerhearts - this.attackpower;

  if (newhp<=0) {

    newhp = 3;

    setani dead,;

  } else {

    setani hurt,;

  }

  playerhearts=#v(newhp);

}

//END

---

playerhearts = #v(newhp); is wrong, no #v() is needed.

the first is client-side, the latter is server-side, the first is triggered when the npc is hit with a projectile, the latter is triggered when a projectile lands on the board

OK
 

Ok about the playerhearts part, but that still doesn't prevent the actionprojectile from triggering. Does anyone know what is wrong?
