change tiles temporary clientside?
 

I was just thinking, is it, in anyway possible, to temporary change a tile to something else, clientside, so only you could see it?

Modification of tiles or board, and updateboard clientside should be temporary.

okay, but how would it be done?

I can't get on and test it at the moment, but would assigning addtiledefs to certain accounts work too?

Sure. Why the heck not, anyway?

I believe he want's to change the actual tile not just the image.

While you can change the tiles clientside, they work like bush's. They will change back on there own in the same time a bush does.

I have been having problems getting tiles to change for everyone. But much success changing it the player making modification to the level..

So the answer. Yes you can.

He was asking about tiledefs. I believe Emera knows what that is :oo:


You must be doing something wrong. If you change bush tiles, sure, they might change back. Does not apply to most other tiles, though.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not D:
Edit: my last post makes more sense now.

I ment when you cut a bush it grows back. If you change a tile clientside it changes back. If you edit the serveroptions to savelevel=true your tiles wont temperaily change they will just change.

He say's tiles, not tiledefs. x_x.

I know what Emera ment, I was only saying changing a tiledef wont change walkable tiles to non-walkable and vise versa unless changing the tileset type.. like to what Era/GK use..

Yeah I want to change the tile to something, like lets say, where ever I click, it will turn into a Water tile, and I will be able to stand on it and I will start 'swimming'. And possibly be able to say /undo or something, and it will undo the changes.
-Just a thought.

No, it will not.

It´s possible. Just read my post above.

Then you have savelevels=true. Because I was having this very problem on N-Pulse while scripting a shovel for them. When the server had an OLE for lats it casued tiles to not change back to origonal tiles. But with savelevels=false the tiles would only be changes for the amount of time that a bush would stay cut for.

Also savelevels=true stopped bush's from respawning alltogether. I had to constantly "updatelevel" to return bush's.

The savelevels server option does not change the behavior of clientside tile changes at all.

Care to take a shot at explaining why tiles acted how I described solely based on the change of that single server options?

Changed them on the serverside, maybe?

Nope clientside.

I was using a GMAP. And I was unable to even read a tileserverside. So I just did it clientside but that started acting VERY buggy untill I played with savelevels.. then everything just worked. And I was the only one on the server at the time.

If using updateboard within a clientside weapon it will automatically trigger to serverside and affect it for other players.
If you do this within a clientside NPC script however it will only be visible to you. The trouble here is that it's problematic to do dynamically in the same way you would cut a tiled bush, plus you'd then need a timer to restore it to its original tiles. For something like a one off change to a levels tiles within a quest it's quite easy.

Thank you
