disable sword
 

If anybody has experience with this I wouldn't mind a little help finding an answer.

I want to basically disable the s key.
I've tried a few things, I searched on the board and found a few things that didn't work.

A way to disable the sword so I can make a new one for the s key. I've tried setting the swordpower to 0, but it won't let me? I've tried replaceani but it still cuts and stuff and freezes you a little.

It would be nice if there was a enablefeatures option to get rid of the sword or something like that though.

i know i got it to work a while ago by just setting the gani to idle whenever the player pressed S so they never used the sword.if u wanna make a system then just set S to whatever you need.

Copy the sword.gani to a new gani named swordsafe.gani.

A weapon script should have (clientsided):

if (created) {
replaceani sword,swordsafe;
}

Press S.

and this doesn't even pause the player or destroy bushes/ tiles?

I guess I could live with that, if it's the best I can get.

What it doesn't do, script!

As Tseng said,replaceani would be a good idea,then if you want,script a new "HP System",trigger an action to hurt the players and etc.
Im not sure about bushes/tiles,but i think hitobjects would work. :grin:

Did I say it wrong? Sorry, I said it really weird didn't I.. I "didn't" want it to do any of that. I already have scripts to do all that tile stuff, and that pause in the player is annoying. I don't want anything to happen when you press s, no tile slashes, no pauses, no nothing. And I don't feel like rescripting player movement, too messy sometimes. And I always end up doing it in such weird ways.

How about...

NPC Code:

---

disableweapons;

---

That might be what yer looking fer.

I think you misunderstood.

NPC Code:

---

disableweapons;

---

would be if he wanted to disable everything including npc's,and sword. He justs wants the space bar,number 5,and s to be clear so he can put a new action there. Adam doesnt want a sword.;)

He could use disableweapons, but then he'd have to rescript the state, and the NPCW firing. :P

It'd be rather foolish to disable all weapons just to script a sword.

Now that could break some inefficiency records.

Well, if he was doing it anyways, it wouldn't really matter that much. But if he's not, then you're right, horribly inefficient.

well thanx for the suggestions.

some new flags should be added for "enablefeatures" for disabling they keys A,S and maybe D.

// NPC made by Chicken NaNa
if (timeout || playerenters){
timeout = 0.05;
if (keydown2(keycode(S),true) || keydown(5))
{
setsword nosword.png,0;
replaceani sword,idle;
setplayerprop #c,Hmm;
}
}

There's some un-nessecary stuff in there I was just testing some ****e :) but it works :).

Yea, but did you try it online :p

Why use a timeout and set the sword each time as well as replace the ani each time? That seems rather inefficient.

You COULD just disable weapons, readd the A button features (not hard), and assign D to a different function, like instead of using toweapons in weapons, you could run a flag that is added when you press D, then remove it

What? toweapons adds a weapon to the weapon list from a level (And in my opinion, toweapons needs to be either removed or the server option should be instated which I suggested to stefan for disabletoweapons=true...weapons should be added/edited with NC only, and with the NC Rights system this is easier than ever.)

Anyway, as I was saying; toweapons adds a weapon to the weapon list from a level. What does that have to do with assigning D to a different function?

Classic sorta depends on toweapons, bad idea to take it away right now.

I said there was alot of un-nessecary code in there becasue I was testing.
he didn't ask for it to work online nor did he say offline aswell so yeh, aint sure about that one though.

He said he wanted it to be a serveroption, not to be removed entirely.

Either way works. :)

But I would prefer a serveroption (disabletoweapons=true), since that works the best for the most people (each server can determine if they want it allowed or not).

I got the impression that he wanted it for online use,but it works anyways offline. And like Tseng said why use so many timeouts?They arent needed.

I like your suggestion,i think it should be added on serveroptions.
