playerz
 

While fooling around with playerz
to make it look like your waking on air/a lighiting effect cloud
and the like,
I noticed that bombs and arows (thus, hitplayer) happens only at the player's x and y. If a players Z is aroun 7 and you pick up a bomb then its floating way below you.

Perhaps set a flag in the graal.exe that if playerz
is not default, than actions hirting the player
or where the player's bombs or arrows originate
align with the players x y and z?

Also the following are kinda self explanitory

putnpc3 image,x,y,z;
putbomb3 power,radius,x,y,z;
put(bomb/npc)4 image,x,y,startz,endz

where startz is greater than endz and the
npc falls to the ground accordingly.

i know its more complex but my brain is mush after this long day

Best Idea Ever

Of course this may induce a little unnecessary lag on those servers with 3d terrain, but we all know how many servers have that.

Re: playerz
 

Good Idea, but putnpc image, x, y, z? dont you mean showimage? If you do showimg2 I think adds Z to the end,
showimg2 index,image,x,y,z or something

Ok this may exist but I wanna confirm it. Is there a move command with Z?

Re: playerz
 

putnpc2 x,y,{
setimg image;
z = 10;
}
putbomb....eww =/ why make a new command for something that is getting used less and less

seriously though, putbomb3 x.x And your putnpc3 that is stupid... it doesn't know WHAT the NPC DOES... it has no txt file or anything... and you might as well not have it then... showimg is the same thing! x.X Z axis isn't that huge of a deal, and rarely used.

haha, i just notice the fact that it didnt include a slot for inserting the script =x (using a text file would be obsolete)
and yes...making so many things with the Z axis would be obsolete since for one 0.05% of the graal population will probably ever NEED to use it and I doubt any of those people would be needing to use things like bombs

For once, I must totally agree w/ Jagen. Text files may not be ENTIRELY obsolete... wait, yes they would because the NPC Server allows putnpc2, which is great XP. He he. Ayway, putbomb, why though? And the Z-Axis was fun to play with for about a DAY... and that was it :( So it would be ALL too pointless to make it have a real command usage =/

So what now? You guys are gonna dismiss the usefullness of this just because you couldn't think of anything to do with it? Are my hopes of using a jungle gym, swing set, and climbing cliffs gonna just fade away?? NO!! This idea has solid base to it, playerz brings graal a completely new dimension to it (haha me funny). Why can't I just be able to play with my toys without having people like 20 tiles away from me hitting my with swords? (if you can't see the carussel, don't yell at me, I didn't even make it, I just liked it)

EDIT- *rereads the posts* Bah, I need sleep

x.X Usefulness = 1/10 if THAT... come on... for god's sake use the Y axis. You don't get ANYWAY by climbing cliff's with the Z axis, because when you press up, it won't let you move b/c you're running INTO the cliff x.X You want to use the Y axis buddy!

using the z axis on non terrains looks extremelly artificial

i dunno you could allways to a jump thinger.. but you could a gani for dat

God prozac, you've lost a few IQ points by posting this!
---Shifter

Wow, a good idea practically kicks you in the nose, yet you ignore it. Too bad...

Could use ganis for lots of simple things like that, but why when it's easier and sometimes even better with pure script? *cough*swingset*cough*

actually I dont think putnpc3, putbomb3, and whatever else is good at all, considering that you will never have to use the Z axis for bombs, and if you want to use the z axis
putnpc2 x,y,{
z=10;
}
