Drop items
 

i wanna know how i can make an NPC that will ad somthing to ur drop items (sword,shield,rupees etc)
so i can drop it i just cant figure it out :grrr:

You cant.. just if you make a script to do it, as

..... "
if(keypressed&&keydown(4)&&keydown(5)){this.mode=1 ;}
if(this.mode==1){/* showimg the image until you press something */ if(keypressed){if (keydown(6)){/* drop it*/} else /* hide the image*/}} "...

You could make a system as.. if you press S+A they are the normal items, but if you press S+D they are yours

Yes, I think it is about IMPOSSIBLE. You can try and do the S+A thing... but then again it will either A) Overwrite the existing ones or B) just totally fux up =/
---Shifter

you'll have to rewrite the current system, i suggest a gani with all the droppable items as sprites, then use a counter

I like the S+D Idea without having an NPC, but only if you had patience to add the extra for the NPCServer. If it was an NPC, it's look ugly to have it, but it would be easier.

it could be a hidden npc, heck include it in system, which should be your first thought anyways

A Hidden NPC would work.

well theres another way...
 

I once added this to a weapon, but for ocnsistency you'd have to add it to all your wepaons;
(im just giving the algorithm here)

if the player wants to drop the weapon Green Goo
The player says 'drop green goo'

The weapon npc in the players inventory is triggered that
and then does the following:
putnpc image name of the weapon, file name of a text file that is exactly the same as the weapon (you have to have a text file on the server/in your folder that you keep up to date for all dorpable weapons) , player vecx/vecy vars so it plops in front of the player.

setplayerprop #c,;

destroy the weapon so it is out of the players inventory
and is there on the screen for that player, or another player, to pick up.

If you plan to do this online be sure you trust your staff.
putnpc was not the most secure command when i was Sanstrata owner. ANyone with file upload to your levels folder
could change that text file to hack and cheat
unless they made it more secure in the past few months.

But there is one way to do it .... have fun and good luck

Re: well theres another way...
 

hes talking about the DEFAULT thing built into graal where you press s+a to drop items

o.O difficult i c i like prozacs idea and nice weapon name
Green goo XD

You don't want to do it prozac's way.

He needs to catch up on some serverside scripting

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats && strequals(#c,drop purple nurple)) {

  removeweapon purple nurple;

  putnpc2 playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2 {

    if (created) {

      setshape 0,32,32;

      setimg purplenurple.png;

    }

    if (playertouchsme) {

      addweapon purple nurple;

      destroy;

    }

  };

}

well thx screen !

another question (i will never end = P)

how do i make a NPC that if u drop an Gold Gralat
(or red,blue,green)
it will make an gani of the gralat instead of dropping it and if touch it....u will get ur rupees though.... just like Bravo and G2k1
etc..

new commands?
 

Whered you get those new commands?
removeweapon is not found when i run it though Graal and click Test, causes an error.
Putnpc2 is not in newfeatures2001 or newfeatures2002,
where did you get it?

I started scripting in graal 1.28 and was a big mover for getting Stefan to add functions, how do you keep up on the latest unpublished commands?

And I never had and currently do not have an npc server to work with, and therefore no reason to be informed of serverside stuff...
unless y'all tell me...

Especialy since i'd like to add them to my NPC Command Search Engine (linked below) and bring that up to date!

Ah Prozac, it is ALL thanks to the wonders of the NPC Server. Stefan didn't include support for NPC Server commands into the level editor =/ He should though, it gets VERY annyoing elsewise :( But if you'd like, I think I've got some tutorials or something, or I could explain a bit to you if you'd like. You won't find the commands listed anywhere. Good explanation btw ScreeN Name, that is how I would've suggested it if you hadn't already ;) but he wanted A+S stuff, not that, that was easy to do though =P

Re: new commands?
 

Need NPC Server tha's why your getting the error message.
And the command bits like you would find arein the NPC Server document with the somewhat older commands fr it.

aha!
 

me finds the Search button at the top of this page useful..
enter 'scriptign documentation'


http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/a...?postid=503471

there is the list as of this march of all commands, enterd by Stefan

*goes to update npc search engine*

More commands X.x

another question (i will never end = P)

Re: new commands?
 

Here you go. Don't ask me where I got it, I don't really remember but I have had it for atleast a month now.

This is the updated commands.rtf file. If someone has a problem with me uploading this then delete the post because I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to have it. x_x

Updated and color coated Commands.rtf

When the page loads go to file and click saveas and save it to your desktop or graal directory.

Note: This document includes serverside commands, clientside only commands and commands that only work on 2k1 or 2k2 due to they are the only ones with .GMAPs

If this document is illegal to have then I am sorry, it was given to me but I forget who gave it to me. (it shouldn't be anyway, its just a updated commands.rtf which needs to be put up really bad anyway)

-_- man i need my question aswered and you just talk thru ,me and go on with an own treath in a treath bout my questions X.x

heh, I simply replied to someones post in this thread.

thanks!
 

Hey thanks for the file,
i overwrote the c:\graal\commands.rtf
and now i have it in the gscripting commands list box! U R B AWESOME!

lol

You really should learn how to serverside script. It's much easier. :P

LOL, I am looking @ it now... I was actually working on my own new version of commands.rtf that has like if commands sorted, better explanations and such, but if it's good then there isn't a point in me finishing =P Here is PART of the code you're looking for, I made it a few weeks ago when someone asked me how to have it detect when a gold rupee is dropped. I won't give you the full script (I'm not THAT nice!) but you should be able to find some way to modify it:
[code]
if (created)
{ this.money=playerrupees;
timeout=0.25;
}
if (timeout)
{ if (playerrupees=this.money+100)
{ actions; //this is where you put in what you want to happen
}
timeout=0.25;
}

please tell me thats not how you script. X.x



ps. i pmed stefan about your account shifter, he said that it looks fine, X.x

Re: thanks!
 

Your welcome. I just want to share what I have with everyone. I think I may send it to Stefan or Unix for the next Graal version or something so that a updated version of the commands.rtf will be out for everyone. :)

LOL, I know a few things that were missing, some things you didn't know how to correctly use, and some things that were mislabled, but good job. HELL NO, I do NOT EVER script like that! It is just when I'm in school, in a rush, or don't give a crap or are annoyed that I just throw together coding =P

i want the bestest Comands.RTF with server side incl ....
