anyone know why destroy dont work...

once you leave a level the script stops running and thats one of the most pathetic attemps of doing a strequals for a string I've seen
strequals for a string is like this
if (playerhurt&&strequals(#s(client.armor),3)){
blah;
}
for the setlevel2 thing, put the destroy before it, and also remember this, destroy destroys the npc for the WHOLE server

does destroy delete it from database if it is a database npc??

Im not sure, I would test it but since Providence is down...x.x

Not to my knowledge.

It only matters with strcontains() with strequals() you are comparing 2 strings to make sure they are the same, why would it matter the order?

Yes, but your script looked more liked client-side
thing (0.05 seconds timeout?)

ooooooooh Stefan showed you all up!:p

lolz

I dont see whats wrong with it? It does the job doesnt it?

so anyone got any ideas why it doesnt work?
and it is for non-p2p
btw, this is my first time using destroy so im not that familiar.

its probably better to do this, make it destroy before it leaves the level, if you don't the command is not run because the player executing the command is not on the level anymore.

NPC Code:

---

if (created||playerenters) {

timereverywhere;

timeout=.05;

}

 if (playertouchsme&&strequals(playing,#s(etegg))) {

say2 You found it!;

setstring server.eteggwinner,#a;

destroy;

setlevel2 eteggprize.nw,30,30;

}



if (timeout) {

// you don't need timereverywhere more than once.

timeout=.05;

if (strequals(ended,#s(server.etegg))) 

destroy;

}

Didn't I say a few posts up that you have to put it above the setlevel/2?

indeed you did...

If I said that, then I ment you would put it right before the setlevel2 since the client stops running scripts once it leaves the level

thanks

:D

omi, i didn't even think of that...
hmph...
well yeah you could do things with p2p easily...
but with non-p2p you would have to go thru some mondo trouble, but if the player is leaving, i see no reason the npc should be terminated.

my point exactly, if the player leaves the level then it is not active for them, why destroy it?
and if you really wanted to destroy it you could but there would have to be 2 people in the room and another NPC to control the destroying process but there is no point

umm
 

if it's a client side NPC, it wont work, because once you leave the level, it's not going to go to the destroy command.

If it's a server side NPC, it wont work, because the timeout is 0.05

To get it to work serverside, change it to .1 or higher

to get it to work, the client would have to have some kind of weapon that is triggered, or does a timeout check when a new level is entered.

1st NPC (Part of timeout section) :

NPC Code:

---

if (strequals(#s(server.etegg),ended)) {

  for (i=0; i<playerscount; i++; ) {

     if (strequals(#s(etegg),playing)) {

      client.eteggwon=1;

      destroy;

     }

  }

}

The Weapon

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

   sleep 1;

    if (client.eteggwon=1) {

     client.eteggwon=0;

     setlevel2 yourlevel,x,y;

     }

}

Re: umm
 

yeah, looks good. i think that you could probably just leave the npc.

ok would this prevent that enter lv thing??
thanks to all that try to help
