NPC Scripting
 

I wanna learn how to script but I have no idea where to start. Could someone please tell me or help me out?

read the commands.rtf to learn the basic syntax's

Well start with if (playertouchesme) and (playerenters) flags and experiment with commands to see what they do.

it's playertouchsme.

i know like the basics if someone helps me a bit, like i can move stuff/slide and i can make it so you can sit on things XD none of that is hard but it is what i can do XD XD and i can make light2.png work 4 me XD

playertouchesme worked for me on my lapytop this morning.

Obviously you didn't try touching it.

Try this script.

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Stefan Knorr

if (created) {

  setimg door.png;

  setshape 1,32,32;

}

if (playertouchesme) {

  hide;

  sleep 3;

  show;

}

---

And play in the level, and touch it.
Nothing happens.

find and read the Newbie Scripters Bible.

how i started was the npcprogramming.doc that comes with graal, although outdated, it is a good beginner's guide

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Stefan Knorr

if (created) {

  setimg door.png;

  setshape 1,32,32;

}

if (playertouchesme) {

  hide;

  sleep 3;

  show;

}

Why did you put in "setshape 1,32,32" is that for serverside or sothing? Teach me..

because the npc server keeps no record of the shapes (blocking, etc) of NPCs

How can one find out the shape of the object?

Lets say I want to make a NPC that sells cans, but there is a limited supply of 30. Would I out this in the GScript?

NPC Code:

---

while (flag&&count<30)

---

Suggestions: server.string or save[0]-save[9]


I think both would work.

Lets say I go aquire a flag to open a door that needs a certin flag named "sam" to enter the door. Would this script work for the door?

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme&&sam){hidelocal;sleep3;show

	}
