having a problem with onActionPlayerOnline event - help
 

i've been trying to do stuff such as add weapons etc as soon as players login. but for some reason serverside and clientside that event hasn't done it for me. can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong with it? thanks

Hmm, I think this is what you're looking for:

You should be seeing your account name on RC whenever you login. After you can confirm that, I'd go ahead and add temp.pl.addweapon("wep");. Is this what you were looking for?

yeah thanks. lemme try it.

Make sure you're using onActionPlayerOnline() in the Control-NPC. onPlayerLogin() can be used in different NPCs/weapons/etc however.

so onActionPlayerOnline is only used for the control-NPC?

Yes.

i see; just stating this then, the wiki has it like this:


Explanation:

it is invoked when a player logs on. Can be put in weapon NPCs and DBNPcs.


Example

if used in a weapon/GUI-script:

*example*


http://gscript.graal.net/onActionPlayerOnline

also onPlayerLogin doesn't even exist there

Pretty certain that wiki article is incorrect. I don't think the player object is passed as a parameter, either (player will be in scope; for onPlayerLogin it won't be in scope and will be passed).

In weapons and NPCs (including Control-NPC), you can use onPlayerLogin(pl). If I'm not mistaken, you can only use onActionPlayerOnline() in Control-NPC.

edit: yes, just tested, everything above is correct, the wiki article is wrong

You can't really trust that list regarding available stuff. You can get a list though by doing the following:

Use 'Run' and type in the following:

(your .exe file might have another name, you should fix that one then)

After that check your Graal folder. There should be a file called scriptfunctions_client.txt. That list includes all (I believe) currently available functions

Only client functions, and not necessarily all events. I don't think that list will include serverside events like onActionPlayerOnline.

My bad, but I believe it's enough for most of the purposes
