Clock thing :O
 

woo woo, I was bored in school :-/.

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Knuckles

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || timeout) {

 if(this.clock == 0) {

   for(i=0; i<=12; i++) {

     showtext 3+i,sin(pi-(pi*2)/12*i)*8+30,cos(pi-(pi*2)/12*i)*8+29.4,verdana,b,.;

     changeimgzoom 3+i,.6;

   }

   this.clock = 1;

 }

 setfocus 30,30;

 showpoly 1,{30,30,sin(pi-(pi*2)/60*this.sec)*7+30,cos(pi-(pi*2)/60*this.sec)*7+30}; // Second hand

 changeimgcolors 1,.5,0,0,.9;

 showpoly 2,{30,30,sin(pi-(pi*2)/60*this.min)*5+30,cos(pi-(pi*2)/60*this.min)*5+30}; // Minute hand

 changeimgcolors 2,0,.9,0,.9;

 showpoly 3,{30,30,sin(pi-(pi*2)/12*this.hour)*3+30,cos(pi-(pi*2)/12*this.hour)*3+30}; // Hour hand

 changeimgcolors 3,0,0,.5,.9;



 this.sec = (this.sec+1)%60;

 if(this.sec == 59) this.min = (this.min+1)%60;

 if(this.min == 59) this.hour = (this.hour+1)%12;

 timeout = 0.05;

}

Just change the timeout to one, to make it in actual seconds.

Would be nicer if there were fewer trigonometry calls, but I guess rotation matrices are a little demanding for most people.

I've always liked working clocks in games. It's attention to detail, y'know? I like windows that can be opened, I like lamps that can be operated, I like barrels in which the player can hide. It all adds to the immersive nature of the world, and promotes emergent gameplay.

Don't even get me started on matricies. If I never have to find the special fundemental matrix of 3x3 first order linear differential system with repeated roots again, it will be too soon.

another good reason to be able to hide a player's nickname :(

Agreed, but can't we do that with enablefeatures already?

But the problem with that is that its on for all the players you see or off for all the players you see that way. Enablefeatures won't let you hide just Joe's nick and show the nicks of Sara, Bill, and Daryl.

That hides ALL players nicknames from the player it is executed on, I am talking about a command used on one player's account to hide ONLY his/her nickname from other players (nobody mention the tab character that does it, it is a ridiculous method to use in a script).

So just rescript the display of nicknames.

Or high grass you can hide in. Yeah, if you have that sorta stuff games are just more fun. It's fun to discover those, for example.

All of that is in Oasis... most of it is working already. :) The wall clock ticks and the hands move according to the time. Windows can be open, even the curtains can be opened and closed.

teasers make the Chad go crazy!

Everything can be rescripted, and I have done it. A custom clientside chat system can be easily scripted with a client-defined chat filter, among other features unique to each client.

A nick system would use the same theory and would be rather simple to create. Don't see why people can't just do that.

With a little help along the way :-p

Rescript my mom to be cooler please... k thanks.

Oasis uses mouseover tooltips to show the name of something. So you can just put your mouse over a player and it displays their name in a tooltip. That's one way of doing it. It's simple to do "hidden" names, you just disable a flag on the player that checks whether that object/person has a name.

So if the person is hiding in a barrel, and you mouseover it, you see nothing. :)

Meh, I'm not too fond of the mouse-over names, I don't like having to touch my mouse very often, plus I'm lazy and don't like pointing at someone just to see who they are ;)

this is the kinda stuff that makes me wish i payed attention to formulas in math class...

Frolic used to have this... and you would be able to click on NPC's in order to talk to them, or trade or whatever.

howd we get so far off topic?
