"If player has" Scripting
 

I'm trying to make it so that "If this player has this weapon, Then you can do this".
For instance, You find a guy. This guy gives you a key. You go up to a door (without this key) and it doesn't work.
But you go up to it (with this key) and it opens linking to another level.

That was just an example. I want this to work for many things like, You buy this item, And you are then able to have access to a room.

All I can think of script-wise is
findweapon("key");

then I have NO idea at ALL what script would come come after for searching this players weapons. It's got to be like, Find the weapon, If found, The door will open, If not, it will say "You are not Authorized" or something.
Help? I have no clue what to do..:cry:

You could check a clientr variable...

player.clientr.quest_dungeonkey = 1;

..

if(player.clientr.quest_dungeonkey) {
// next level
}else{
// Not authorized
}

Obviously you would change the names to something that would keep your clientr variables organised.

At the same time I want to learn. Player.clientr.quest would mean what?
Is dungeonkey the name of the item in the script you've listed?
What's variable 1 for?
The rest of it I can figure out with this=)

You should probably start at the beginning. We're happy to help you with GScript's quirks or other complicated stuff, but there's no point in explaining the simple stuff again when it's already been explained before. The tutorial I linked you to is a good resource for getting started.

I'm not new. And I wouldn't have posted this thread if I didn't search already how to do this. That's why i'm asking. Questions are good and are meant to be asked. So if you don't have the answer yourself, Just... Don't even comment.;)

Lacking an understanding of player attributes would place you squarely in the "new" category. If you don't want our help, we won't force it on you—but if you are having trouble with the simple stuff, then you should read the guide I referenced.

The reason I didn't post an explanation of variables is because doing so would be redundant and a waste of my time. That information has already been compiled into Jer's scripting guide.

If you're not interested in becoming a better scripter, and are just interested in getting things done, this is not the forum for you.

error 1 : you cant seem to figure out how to make a door open . first off, they done told you that you can do the same thing by simply setting a flag and checking the value . secondly, basic gs check if(hasweapon(#w, )){ tho it may have changed with the gs2 conversion .

error 2 : if you weren't new you would already know how to use flags,values and find weapons .

error 3 : if your gonna insult the community members expect to spend a lot of your time looking up said info on the net or through a series of trial and error in game to work out how to do something cause you done pissed off the people trying to help you .

Yes. Yes, you are.

1. I know how to make a door open, Just not on weapon.
2. I'm not new to scripting, I'm newer to NPC scripting
3. I didn't insult, I simply stated that if he wasn't going to help, It's a waste of everyone's time to even look at his posts. They don't help, And I know they don't because if he posts a link, It ends up having nothing at all to do with the question asked. I read the link, And it had no reference what-so-ever. So "Pissing off the people trying to help you" Doesn't work, Because he's not help.;)

This is the gist of storing a 'key' as a flag instead of using a weapon.

Key NPC:

Door NPC:

Also 1 is the same as true in GS2.

Logic and conditional statements

Alright so I did have a little help.
But for some reason even the help couldn't find this problem?

function onActionserverside(NULL) {
switch (params[0]) {
case "givekey": {
if (clientr.quest1 == NULL){
clientr.quest1=1;
clientr.items.key1=1;}
}
break;
}
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayertouchsme() {
player.chat = "Test";
message Test;
triggerserver("gui", name, "givekey");
}

This doesn't set anything into my flags. Why???

Once again, please put your code in PHP tags. Cleaning up a little bit and commenting some basic problems:
Now that the code is clean and readable, we can talk about why it's not working. I'm guessing you're putting this in a weapon script, but even if you are putting it into an NPC, it won't work.

Assuming it's in a weapon, when would onPlayerTouchsMe ever get called? A weapon isn't an object in-game; it's a background script that runs on the client. It has no physical representation, and hence nothing to touch. This will never be called.

So, the best way to do this is to move your code into an NPC. Then, when the NPC is touched, you'll notice that the player and the NPC both say "Test", but that the trigger never reaches serverside.

If you've read about triggers, you'll know why. The trigger is being sent to a weapon with the NPC's name, but that weapon doesn't exist. In addition to that, level NPC names are arbitrary and somewhat unpredictable.

Normally you'd need to trigger serverside on the NPC instead, but this is a pain. In your case, it's actually a lot simpler than that: onPlayerTouchsMe is called serverside in addition to clientside, so there's no need to communicate between them. We can simplify your code:

Then if we want to check if the player has completed the quest later on...

(if your onPlayerTouchsMe still isn't being called on the serverside, make sure to give it a proper shape—normally this isn't necessary if you're using an image for the NPC)

i fail to see why it even needs to trigger serverside or be done from a weapon for that matter . if your worried about someone hacking the flag through client you might as well just stop now cause it is gonna happen at some point and trying to prevent even one person from doing so is just wasting time .

add npc to level, set img to a key . insert code
add npc to level, set image to door . insert code
is that not good enough ?

This is wrong in so many ways. Please ignore this post and read mine instead.

that's for clearing up why . it may not be perfect but i threw it together in less then a minute . it's a lot simpler and when you wanna teach someone to ride a bide you might not want to take off the training wheels right away.... or just throw em on a motorbike .

You didn't add anything new (it's very similar to my script) except bad script. I.e. unset, !var == 1.

i would pos rep you but it wont let me :)
but yea it is, i just don't like using true and false . plus giving them a little exp with it having a value could come in handy later on if he needs to have multi steps to a quest . the unset was just to clean up any loose ends cause my ocd makes me . the not statement tho is just my exp that sometimes != will fail . i did kinda fudge that up as i ment it to be in an if(created or if(playerenters, so if they go back after they got the key it wont still be laying there . my bad

Output: 6

In GS2 true == 1.

But it would be impractical to use that logic and might be confusing to fellow scripters.

No, it won't.

Alright thanks so much. I'm not sure if i'm doing this right, Or not.
But this isn't working. Maybe I did something wrong???

And i'll start using PHP

This isn't working either...?:confused:

He just explained why the last script you posted didn't work and how to script it properly instead, and you basically just re-posted it a slightly more broken version of your earlier code.

To clarify when he says 'put in an NPC' he's talking about a level NPC in an actual level.

This is the fixed version. The version he helped with.

This is also an "NPC. In an actual level".
If you re-read what he posted, You'd understand.

Kthxbye

I believe you're the one who needs to re-read what he posted, he cleaned up and commented the script to display all the faults to explain what you were doing wrong. He never fixed your particular piece of script to work for the situation.

He also then explained the right way to do it, as have a couple others posted their solutions to what you're trying to do. You seem to have ignored or misunderstood that.

Alright well if i misunderstood his comment,
Then it only had to do with how to work with IF it's SOLVED/The quest has been done.
I can't figure out how to give this player the flag.
It seems I can't find threads on it, either.

You are really overcomplicating things...
Use this server side.

Ohhhhh okay! I'm sorry I got confused o.o
I thought that was the code to completing this "Mission".
Sorry about that.
Thank you so much:D
