Custom monster help.
 

Ok well i got the monster just can't make it so it won't be able to walk through walls!
Can anyone help?

NPC Code:

if (created) {setcharani popie,;initialize();setcharprop #P(1),hat#v(int(random(0,100))).png;

Click.
Might help.

Hmm... I do recall something about not posting whole scripts and only posting parts that were relevant =x

I think he doesn't know whats the problem is with it, PS.

I didn't know you could add +/- in the same for loop? :o

I already went through the movement tutorial, that is how i got the onwall check functioin, but it basically ignores the fact that tyhe wall is there i posted the whole script in case something else may be hindering it...

      if (strlen(#g)>1) {

        setstring server.guild,#g;

      }

Style your scripts.

Ok that didn't really help at all.....

you people arent getting thew problem here, all the onwall checks are done just fine, yet it ignores them, the moivement tutorial doesnt help at all. If you are going to post, make it helpful.

quite
also, freakin indent, there is no point in using [code ] tags when you don't indent , and use [php ] if you have to post alot of code, since noone is fixing the damn doublespace >:O

I tested the script offline, and it seems to stop at walls alright. Your problem might have something to do with a neworder tileset, check to see if you're serveroption (newtilesets=true/false) is correct and all that stuff. Use this test weapon to make sure wallchecks are working too:
yeah, um i=-1 is not the same as i-=1 :\

i dont see that option so i added it, are there any commands for server options that it doesn't come with?

Linkage

Oh yeah, what's up with that for loop in your wallcheck()? If that's supposed to be an increment check you're not doing it right, nor are you actually using it x_x
silly goose

whats wrong with it? (if ur wondering y im respondin insted of sparkers, he's my brother and we work at the same server trying to fix the bug)

So your brother actually scripted this? With all your problems why didn't you just ask your brother? :o

I know, Chad.

erm no. falco used the movement tutorial to make that. I just made the gfx and ganis.
We've tried tons of stuff but it just keeps going through walls.

Yes, using php blocks would be nicer than code so it doesn't take up a ton of space. Also I like the color coding :) But anyway, to the matter at hand.
If it works offline, then it could be an issue with clientsiding. If I recall properly, either onwall or onwall2 is strictly clientside or serverside, not sure which. I would suggest doing like a "setplayerprop #c,Checking onwall!;" block of coding where you start your check. Make sure that it is actually getting the proper calls. Next then add checks like setting the chat to something like "Cannot move left!" if you cannot move left etc, make sure that it is getting the calls properly. You should also add such debugging lines when you run into these situations. If you have a message system that works much better than chat. I have a message system that I use where I just do addstring client.messages,New Message; and it will add it. So in that case it would be nice to have it show that you cannot move left, or up, so that if there are multiple messages then it will be visible, allowing more than just having the chat (which only can display 1 real message at a time).

Tried it all, the problem is that the monster won't see the onwall stuff online, i tried onwall2 but im not sure exactly how to use it...

onwall2(x,y,width,height)
if I'm not mistaken.

i know the command, but i mean what r the width and height? in tiles or screenwidth/height? also it means the area is blocked not just part of it?

Tiles I believe.
So (if im right)
onwall2(30,30,2,2)
should check if the area between (30,30) and (32,32) is on a wall.

I think thats how you use it. I don't really use onwall2 though.

is it any or all of the area?

you could try it?
it's any btw

Yeah i geuss i will onc ei fix up a few bugs in other more urgent npcs
