Scripting an NPC Server

Ive been having trouble scripting an NPC server, and really need help. i dont mean script it for me, i'm asking for some basic guidelines for doing functions via NPC Server. i am having trouble on these areas (and yes i searched the wiki, didnt help):

Adding Weapons
Reseting players

There are two ways to add a weapon... one, is initializing it on the serverside. That's as simple as doing...

PHP Code:


		
			
findplayer("DustyPorViva").addweapon("Bomb");

The other method involves triggering the serverside and adding it... which is more common.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionserverside() { // when the server is triggered, via triggerserver
  if (params[0] == "addbomb") { // Check to see what 'command' is being sent
    // params[0] will be the first parameter you sent through the trigger... assuming you know how triggers and parameters work
    findplayer(params[1]).addweapon("Bomb"); 
    // findplayer() will pinpoint an account and addweapon to the player.
    // findplayer() is very important serverside, as a server holds the data of ALL players, you need to be specific.
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
// ^ That means everything under this line is on the clientside
function onPlayerchats() {
  if (player.chat=="/addbomb") { // if the player says /addbomb
    triggerserver("gui",name,"addbomb",player.account);
    /* trigger the server
       GUI simply means you are triggering a weapon... don't change that
       NAME means you're triggering THIS weapon... you can change that to another weapon if you want to trigger another
       "ADDBOMB" will be used as a command of sort, so you can interpret it on the serverside as what you're doing
       player.account -- we need to send this info so the server knows which player to add the weapon to
    */
  }
}

thank you dusty. and for the

PHP Code:


		
			
 findplayer("account").addweapon("bomb")

would i make this as my NPC Script for adding weapons?

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

  findplayer(player.account).addweapon("bomb")

}

or could i do this?

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

  this.startweapons = { "-System", "-reconnect", "-Messages"};

  findplayer(player.account).addweapon(this.startweapons);

}

im trying to make it find all players. or would i do that with

PHP Code:


		
			
function onLogin()

//or function onPlayerEnters()?

onLogin sounds like a better plan. No idea. Go ahead and try it?

In the control NPC script, something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionPlayerOnline()
{
  temp.weapons = { "weapon1", "weapon2" };
  
  for ( temp.weapon : weapons )
  {
    player.addweapon( weapon );
  }
}

I recommend using my control-npc I released, it will do most of this for you. (http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=77750)

Ya... for adding weapons to all players, do so on login...
or:

PHP Code:


		
			
for (i:allplayers) {
  findplayer(i).addweapon("weaponname");
}

If you want to do so whenever you please.

and, when i try to reset players, it resets them every time they login. how do i add a flag to the NPC server?

would this work?

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionPlayerOnline()

{

  temp.weapons = { "-System/Main", "-reconnect" };



  sendPM("

  Welcome to Final Resort!

  we are under construction!

  please, if you are not here to help,

  come back later, to se if there is updates.

  ");

   

  for ( temp.weapon : weapons )

  {

    player.addweapon( weapon );

  }

  

  if(clientr.reset = 0)

  {

    sendtoRC("/reset" SPC player.account);

    for (1:allplayers)

    {

      findplayer.(i).addflag("client.reset = 1");

    }

  }

}
