Disabling Swords
 

I am wondering if anyone has stumbled upon this or have noticed this. This code disables the sword

code:

setsword 0,#1;

I hope you can all understand what that statement says.

Does that not just set it as a level 0 sword? He he, I just set ap to 100 for my HP System, never really occured to me otherwise...
Good thinking :D

no slicing either
 

well it does set to zero, but I also noticed that when I press s.. I do not slice my sword either

Ah, he he. I didn't realize doing that would. Thanks, of course you should set a var (preferably a string though) to refer back to the sword. If you set a var and they get dc'ed or restart it clears =/

duh
 

duh, I know.. I am not a newbie scripter ;)
Just haven't posted that much :D

yes, sage chaozu is a very good scripter :)

I used to use this method, but slightly modified.

NPC Code:

---

setsword no-sword.png,0;

---

But now I use disabledefmovement.

LOL, I know you aren't Sage, I"ve heard a few people tell me that Sage could own me in scripting =/ Gets old fast, considering I've never seen him and they've never seen my stuff :(

That's what we do on Classic.

Best way is probably to rescript the whole movement etc.

He posted this so you don't have to do that...

But how do you want to carry NPCs with a replaced movement?

ganis, triggeraction, and some tiles[] or board[] commands

or like 2k2 does :P
I did something like this with the bombs for Atlantis
actually it's no problem to replace this...

But he wants to carry NPCs, like NPCs that have a script and stuff.

so what u want is swords disabled but not the NPCs Weapons Or anything in that order may i ask why and why dont u use Eh?

AHHHHHH WHERES THE CARRIGE RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Also Kaimetsu is right, your script would do bugger all..

With that script you could simply select another weapon.
Use timeouts and set selectedweapon to this weapon always.
I did so in the Nimda sparring.

But we are off-topic now.

We wanted to disable the sword, and just the sword.
By doing "setsword no-sword.png,0;" you still have a zero displayed.
Using disabledefmovement would hide that, but I couldn't carry NPCs anymore.
I know how to carry tile objects like bushes and so, and yes I could even make the player carry a bomb, but I can't make him carry a whole script.

Disabling NPC Weapons
 

if (playerenters) {
if (!isweapon) {
toweapons NoWeaponSelected;
}
disableselectweapons;
timeout = .05;
}

if (timeout) {
if (!strequals(#w(selectedweapon),NoWeaponSelected)) {
for (this.index = 0; this.index <= weaponscount; this.index++){
if (strequals(#w(this.index),NoWeaponSelected))
break;
}
selectedweapon = this.index;
}
timeout = .05;
}

That should be the correct way to disable npc weapons...
almost forgot the disable q select

disableweapons;

That disables all weaons including D NPCs.
His just stops the sword from working.

Disableweapons?
 

Disable Weapons does not let you use your sword...
that script lets you use your sword...

also, I had to re-edit because I forgot about disableselectweapons;

But it's the way it works ;)
after doing shoot the control-npc would get triggered, you set some params with setshootparams and it reads them out
after this you can place the right NPC whre you actually throw it

Why would you really want to disable JUST the sword?? I generally do it the other way, KEEP just the sword, in which case you run it on a timeout, and have it set a this.var of what the selectedweapon is. Such as like:

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

{ toweapons *Sword-Only;

   this.weap=selectedweapon;

  timeout=0.25;

}



if (timeout)

{ if (!selectedweapon=this.weap)

   { selectedweapon=this.weap;}

  timeout=0.25;

}

Is it setting the selected weapon or setplayerprop, god, I dunno, I have one I made that I just repeatedly used. I'm scripted out for a few days, I just made a security system, took AGES to do, it wasn't necessarily hard, just long coded. Angel wanted it scripted, so I did :P I worked on it a total of three days, but it was mostly sitting down and doing one thing, coming back hours l8er or what not ;) It's got a keypad that you can click or type in.

I don't think that would work as good as the example I posted earlier because the weapon's index would change if a weapon whose index is lower gets deleted.

Also one reason why to have the sword disabled is so you can have a server whose primary weapon is not a sword. Like for instance it could be a regular pistol or socom.
