setlevel
 

How come setlevel doesn't work properly on the NPC server?

Well, if you trying to do it under a //#CLIENTSIDE NPC thats your problem.

Use setlevel2, and use it serverside.

Well then how do you do a warp ring?
if (weaponfired) has to be clientside, but setlevel / setlevel2 has to be serverside!

...
 

trigger some kind of flag maybe?

like


if (playertouchsme) {toweapons test; timeout = .1;
}
if (timeout) {
if (client.warp=1) {
client.warp=0;
setlevel2 level,x,y;
}
timeout = .1;
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (weaponfired) {
client.warp=1;
}

1. setlevel can't be serverside (no NPC-Server commad)
2. Why setlevel2 has to be serverside? Should work clientside too

The right thing to do it would be

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

  setlevel2 level,x,y;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weaponname;

}

TDO ... *is disappointed* ... setlevel2 must be serverside because the server cannot allow players warping clientside to whereever they want...

Yes! Thanks Loriel that does work...I had tried that before but I couldn't figure it out.

Hehe, actually it's very spiffy to work on the same NPC Server as Stefan does.

.........wouldnt that trigger EVERYONE'S ring? Just curious, im not sure, but it DOES look like it would.

nope the action is sent only to the requesting client.

okay, kewl.
i see where its going now.

lol I'll bet it is...
I've tried out for EVERY staff position on graal2001 cause I really wanted to help out, but not once have I gotten a response.

Um just never use NPC-Server :(

If you run a p2p world that's impossible...

i think he was being sarcastic...

I really hope so...

*get on RC*

*right click on NPC-Server*

*click "disconnect player"*

Setlevel is not supported on npcserver because
its an old bad command (from the times when commands
could only have 1 parameter :) ) Without setting the
x/y position its not very useful.

Client-side warping is not allowed on upgraded
servers, you can only warp to levels where there
is a link to in the current level, or trigger some
server-side npc which then warps you. This
is for making it impossible to enter/leave levels
using some cheating program.

No that wouldn't work. Then NO NPC's would work at ALL..
