Workarounds...
 

I need to destroy a weapon, and i could delete it in the way suggested in the other thread, but on Doomsday, and i believe now all other playerworlds you cannot do a toweapons on a if playerenters test, the player actually has to physically tough the npc, is there any way i could do something? One thing that works sometimes is:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {setplayerprop #c,     ;}

if (playerchats&&strequals(     ,#c)) {toweapons weapon;}

---

but sometimes thats even broken...
can anyone come up with any other ideas?

thanks,

if (blahblah) {
takeweapon blah;
}

It's something like thatm, but I know there is an NPC command that just takes the weapon away.

if (playerenters) toweapons... works just fine.

well Loriel. Dont forget

if(playerenters && !isweapon) {
toweapons weapon;
}

otherwise you have annying weapon re-adding like there is on some servers I know

~AlphaFlame~

if (playerenters && hasweapon(weapon-to-take)){
toweapons weapon-to-take;
if (isweapon)destroy;
}

Tada.

*walks off muttering about lizardons and something about their mothers*

if (playerenters && !hasweapon(weapon-to-take)){
toweapons weapon-to-take;
if (isweapon)destroy;
}

otherwise it wil never add.

Re: Workarounds...
 

isn't it strequals(#c,blah) not strequals(blah,#c)

It almost doesnt matter. it only matters with strcontains and startswith

no it doesn't, what happens is a screen comes up because of the block, it says "The server has recieved illegal data from your connection", and sends a message in rc saying "Accountname has added a non-existant weapon. (Hacker?)".

arg why dont you people put code in brackets {} ???

In the npc DO NOT put //#CLIENTSIDE

When you ADD IT TO NPC SERVER VIA NPC CONTROL THEN you p ut //#CLIENTSIDE

No, it needs to NOT have the !. Otherwise, every time you enter the level, it will add and that would be bad. MY way has it so that it only adds if you HAVE that weapon in the first place. Duh.


--Disclaimer--

Don't mess with my NPCs. I usually know what I'm doing. Unless I specifically say "I didn't use the editor to make this," assume it's correctly done and shut up.

--/end Disclaimer--

yeah what he said

So mister smartass, shut the furk up. get off your damn highhorse. i ddint know what you were tring to do because it was FAR too inefficient.

BTW the add destructable weapon method is too stupid. use removeweapon weaponname;

Doesn't it only do that if you don't assign an image to the npc?

ok...
 

in case you haven't noticed Doomsday is not a PAY TO PLAY server. REMOVEWEAPONS does not work on non p2p!!!

*cackles* I might be on a high horse, but at least the horse isn't stupid/ignorant/slow/all three.

... *adds a bit later* And for non-p2p, that's fairly optimized Sir Knows-Little-Curses-Lots ;)

??? what ???
:confused:

refer to subject about adding the ability for RC's of non-p2p servers to access the weapon database..... delete npc... delete weapon from database.... should be fine right?

Because it's easier to keep track of.. doing

if (playerchats)
message Hi;
if (playertouchsme)
message Don't touch me!;

that is annoying in huge scripts

i agree better organizations and makes it look more l33t ..

No, It is not

Put
if(isweapon &&destroy) destroy;
in the weapon itself And then use
callweapon index,destroy;

That is the best way.

It is 1 line of code that would make life EZer. Just dont add that in hidden weapons or In-deletable weapons.

*tidbit* You can also use triggeraction in the same way

Probably already said but oh well

~AlphaFlame~


So... Falcor, you want to have two NPCs to do what could be done in 1? And hey, any NPC can be one line... just take out the returns...

That wouldn't work good, because it would destroy both the weapon and the npc that adds the weapon. So, after one player enters the level, and another follows, it would only work for the first player.

bah!

Hm... makes sense.

That has nothing to do with the playerenters event tough. It may just not add a weapon without a graphic, or call the toweapons command in a weapons script.


Smartest thing is still putting in the every weapon, right when adding it to your server:
if (destroy) destroy;
Then,
for (i=0; i<weaponscount; i++) if (strequals(#w(i),weapontoremove)) {
callweapon i,destroy;
break;
}
into the NPC you have to delete a weapon.

Lol, there goes loriel with her 'advanced' scripting agin : P :D

It's not advanced... it's smart.


I started doing that in some of my stuff as well.

if (playerenters){
toweapons bomb;
}
if (weaponfired){
destroy;
}
leet script!@ %$%!
