getplayer
 

Ok say i have the account of a person set to the variable this.buddy. how would i take his chat string (#c) using getplayer and set it to the chat string of the npc.?

First off. Is this a NPC Weapon or a serverside NPC?

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) message #c;

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

Should work.

serverside npc =p and grim that didn't work (i did change the timeout to .5[.1 won't wok serverside on p2p])0.o thanx anyway though :D

...

.1 works for NPC-Server, it's .05 that don't work

o
 

i thought it was .1 that didn't o well =p either way it don't work.

Then try this:

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setstring this.buddytext,#c;

  message #s(this.buddytext);

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

And if that doesn't work I'm stumped.

nope... you be stumped just like me : / thanx anyway though! :D

grim, players dont message, they setplayerprop...

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setplayerprop #c,#c;

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

that should work

well grim was right in the fact i want the npc to say the message not the player. but it still doesn't wok :(

hmm.......i dunno
maybe add an index to #c ? =8

All that does is make this.buddy say what he was saying before...Essentially the same as if (playerenters) setlevel #L;, just a waste of processor power and bandwidth

setlevel #L; causes an infinite loop and freezes graal.

I think he means that both the #c 's have different causes.
The first #c is the npc chat, and the second is the player chat
so maybe it would need to be:

if (initialized||timeout) {
with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setplayerprop #c(-1),#c(0);
timeout=0.1;
}

to seperate its different #c =)

Or just use 'message', because he wanted the chat text of the npc to be set to what this.buddy was saying...

or maybe setcharprop? Honestly, does nobody ever read the commands reference?

ohh yea, setcharprop, nor setplayerprop =P
