Serverside Scripthng
 

Where can I learn about serverside scripting, I want my NPCs to work with the NPC Server but basicly what i know is out of date.

The only real way to learn is to get yourself access to an NPC Server and just script on it.
Too difficult to learn without having somewhere you can test scripts.

you know of any job openings?

utopia's in desperate need of good scripters... as long as you can at least |337ly well with clientside for now, you're hired!

Its not a server though so therefore it has no npc server

after we submit for a private server, however

until then, we'll need clientside scripting only in order to get accepted... if he can help us, i'm sure we'll make it for a private server

exactly, and once you start testing on server, you really cant rely on your knowledge of clientside scripting


such as weapon triggeractions :), that took me a day to get, and i had to bug stefan about it 5 times to finally understand

i was like do i put WeaponName or the weapon's name
and like do i change 0,0 to playerx and playery, lol

i hope i didnt bother him too much :)

I don't know why people think it's so hard to learn serverside, it wasn't difficult for me to learn at all

Than make a tutorial.

Some people just don't see it as:

Stuff on the players computer (clientside)

Stuff on Graal's computer (serverside)

Well I'm still learing how to script, I learned how to script about 2 days ago and I havn't been on my comp sence than. :(

X2

Someone make a tutorial or make some examples on how to do it. Saying "That **** was e to the z" doesn't help anyone.

example.


//#CLIENTSIDE makes a part of the script clientside.

Now, if we were to make a warp ring, or something, this is how I would do it:

The weapon's name is WRing

NPC Code:

---

Triggeraction - Clientside and triggering serverside actions.





if (actionWRing){

setlevel2 level,x,y;     //I think...

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired){

triggeraction 0,0,WRing,;      //(WRing, being the weapon's name

}

---

I think I get it. The only thing one would need to put in the CLIENTSIDE part is external part of the NPC. (If you get what I'm saying)

or, the parts that are clientside...

Or, you can make one giant database NPC and just have every NPC that requires serverside actions access it:D

ugh.. do some more clientside and serverside examples, so I can start to learn how to do it. please!

can some1 make an example of a database npc?

NPC Code:

---

if (created)startup();



//#CLIENTSIDE





function startup(){

  message hello i just started;

}

---

would the function run clientside or serverside?

Thats just like variables.

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {bob=speed;}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

 run();

}

functionrun() {

 message #v(bob);

}

Ok I get it. Thier like 2 totally different scripts.
