Setting another users attributes?
 

How do you do it with NPC server or if it is possible, without NPC server.

ex: I want to set another users name. I would say "setname account 'name to give' "

I don't understand how it is possible to do.. if someone can just explain to me how its done and how each command works, that would be great :D

The only thing I know how to do is set the attributes of the player actually interacting with the NPC. I don't know how to tell the NPC to do something to someone else :(

set it w/o the npcs server? you could use server.strings...

like set a string such as..

server.#a_attr //i use #a so it will be unique for all players.

and then give it a value like

setmp 0 //the space between setmp and 0 is used for tokenizing

then tokenize #a(server.#a_attr); in a weapon that the person that you wanna change has (such as maybe a system weapon) and then change his stuff accordingly.

he would check for a server.#a_attr string to be set for him to change his attributes and you could make the weapon he has do what you want.

tokenizing the string would give you 2 tokens

#t(0) = setmp
#t(1) = 0

you would read token 1 to see what you want to do (in this case, set mp)

so

if(strequals(#t(0),setmp)) {
yourcode;
delete the server string; //bc if you dont he gets more mp over and over
}

within your code for setting mp you could use the value of #t(1) to set his mp.

See pickles can solve problems too.
Kinda sad that I haven't posted here for 3-5 days and thats the first thing I think to post...*dissappointed in self*

I still don't get what part of that is telling the NPC to set someone elses attributes. I would think that it would have some sort of command saying what account it sets it to. :(

The whole point is getting data from one client to another. It first gotes through the server (hence, i used server strings) then it is read by the other client. What is ther to get? Everyone in their system NPC has a code to read their server string and do what it says..


when it reads the server string it will do commands like

setmp strtofloat(#t(1));
setplayerprop #C0,#t(1);

etc.

BTW, that 'setname' is not a good example. #n is a read-only attribute, so it wouldn't work on a non-NPCServed server.

He wanted to know how to pass stuff from one client to another WITH the npc server, aka Admin NPC. You do it using with(getplayer(account))

hmmm
 

The only thing wrong with that, is it would create a TON of server strings. It would be easier to do something like.....

setstring server.editplayer,#a,atribute,color/feature/value;

so

if (playerchats&&startswith(setplayer,#c)) {
// First account
// Second what youre editing
// value
// setplayer mikepg coat blue
tokenize #c;
setstring server.editplayer,#t(1),#t(2),#t(3);
}

in the client's system you'd want to have a timeout or some other action that reads in those variables constantly, checking to see if it's their account, and what features to change.
