Really simple question :)
 

Ok, i'm trying to learn how to script and i'm doing something that when it happens it won't happen again.
for example.

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,Hello)){

players[index].rupees+=10;

}

---

It thought it might be something like this but it doesnt work

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,Hello)){

players[index].rupees+=10;

set Hello-Rupee}

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,Hello)){

if (Hello-Rupee){message No more >:[

}

}

---

And whats the command for if all enemies are dead....?

Re: Really simple question :)
 

Even though the second part of the money script finds that the event is false, it is still re-running the first event each time the player speaks.

I think you are looking for something like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,Hello))

   if (HelloRupee)

    {message No more >:[;}

   else

     {players[index].rupees+=10;

      set HelloRupee;

     }

---

*note: There is most likely a more efficient way to do this*

I hope this helps.

Now don't go forgetting your semi-colons, they have a lot to do with scripting.

EDIT: No need to set a flag.

ok that doesnt really work.
If you type "hello" once you get nothing and if you type hello1 or anything else after your money just goess up =(

A variable will help the script to work once. E.g:

NPC Code:

---

if(created){

this.mode = 0;

}



if(playerchats && strequals(#c,bah) && this.mode == 0){

playerrupees+=10;

this.mode = 1;

}

Done,you did it once and next time you won't be able to get more 10 gralats. Why did i put 'playerrupees' with underline? Because seems (is) better to use than players[index].rupees since it's for you.

read commands.rtf ^-^

Ah, hm.

I should probably stop trying to help people in this section. ^_^;;

Thanks osrs, that helped me out too.

setting a flag would be the best way, otherwise somebody could get gralats over and over again by using update level.

geez, every one of you suck at formatting x_X

Sorry if we aren't a master like you. ^^

A player won't update the level,so i think a variable would be fine >.<
But setting a flag work too.

It doesn't take an ounce of brainpower to format well.


Also, you didn't specify an index for player[index].rupees.
I also think that is read only.

funny how everyone is using the code brackets, yet half of them don't even bother to actually use spaces (the whole point of using code brackets)

This is all you need.

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats){

  if (strequals(#c,Hello) && !Hello) {

    playerrupees += 10;

    set Hello;

  }

}

---

Simple as.

If anybody ever fixed a tile error, or updated the level, or (possibly) if the server went down, the variable would be reset. Its foolish to not use some kind of permanent protection when dealing with rupees.

You don't need [index] when dealing with the player in question, and its only read-only when its clientside.

In any case, I would think it's better to use playerrupees.

Wha? Code brackets as in '{'s? They're not inextricably related to spaces.

I meant these

NPC Code:

---

---

couldn't remember what they're called exactly
ohyeah tags... d'oh

Ah, you're talking about indenting within code tags. Fair enough, I misinterpreted :)

It always seems like storing a string that only checks if a player has touched an NPC, would waste space and make a disarray of the player's stored strings etc.

Erm, there's nothing in the code...?

as in, people do this

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {

playerhearts = 0;

}

---

instead of

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {

  playerhearts = 0;

}

---

Erm, just click the "style" button?

It's pretty much laziness on my part. Not sure about the others. I don't really fix the format until the end and online there is no Style button to help out a bit with making things look neat. :(

O.o
If the server went down wouldn't all npc's not work?

Only styling is different, what's wrong?


He meant if the server went down and back ( i believe),flags will be cleared and you will able to get more 10 gralats in this case.

Sigh. If you ever try to make anything remotely complicated, you'll understand the value of proper indenting.

I'm probably wrong, but NPCs revert to clientside-only status when this happens, do they not?

wrong, that's only if the gserver is started without the npcserver, if the npcserver goes down npcs/weapons aren't sent at all

I think this.variables are cleared.
Explains why farming NPCs&stuff suddenly are gone sometimes.

Told you I was probably wrong. ;)

I thought I remembered a time on another server when that happened. All of my NPCWs disappeared, as expected, but I don't remember level NPCs dying with the server. It's probably my bad memory again. :P
