Gift: Tile Finder
 

A simple tile finder, press the right and the left keys to scroll through the tiles or chat a number less than 4095 and greater than 0 and you can easily find the tile you need. Script could use some improvements, I will prolly improve it later on.

NPC Code:

---

if (created){

  disabledefmovement;

  playerx = x-3;

  playery = y-1.5;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (playerchats){

  if (strequals(#c,#c)){

    this.tile = strtofloat(#c);

  }

}

if (timeout){

  updateboard ,,64,64;

  if (keydown(1)){

    if (this.tile != 0)

      this.tile = this.tile-1;

  }

  if (keydown(3)){

    if (this.tile != 4095)

      this.tile = this.tile+1;

  }

  tiles[x,y] = 0x+this.tile;

  setplayerprop #c,Tile: 0x#v(this.tile);

  timeout = 0.05;

}

---

Cool

Goboom, just curious, but...

Why did you put;

if (strequals(#c,#c)) {

?

I had saw that method used before, not just leaving playerchats alone. I hadnt seen it used in a long time though

*The following is a guess*

I found it easier for styling issues for instead of removing the strequals, (used for debugging a script), you could just leave it in there and replace the second string with whatever the first string was. It's easier than just restyling the whole script by removing that line. (They don't have 'style' buttons online)

ok yeah, im glad i get to get to this first finally :)
There is no style button really but it is possibile to style your scripts online.

I guess you or anyone on babylon was aware of this? Anyhow now you are, so its not a style button really, like i said, you have to type just a little but i guess you could get over that very easily. :)

Or you could just format them correctly as you write them, thus saving yourself a great deal of trouble.

Nice :)

Here is a gift too, basic, but nice:

NPC Code:

---

//NPC made by *osrs

// Light effect



if(created){

  color = {0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5};

  timeout = 0.05;

}



if(timeout){

  for(i = 0; i < 10; i ++){

    this.a = (this.a < 10) ? (this.a + 0.5) : this.a = 0;

    showimg this.a * i,light4.png,mousex - 3.5,mousey - 3.5;

    changeimgcolors this.a * i,color[0],color[1],color[2],color[3];

    changeimgzoom this.a * i,random(0.1,0.9);

    changeimgvis this.a * i,1;

  }

  timeout = 0.05;

}



if(playerchats){

  if(strequals(#c,/red)) color = {0.5,0,0,0.5};

  elseif(strequals(#c,/green)) color = {0,0.5,0,0.5};

  elseif(strequals(#c,/blue)) color = {0,0,0.5,0.5};

  elseif(strequals(#c,/alpha)) color = {0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5};

}

Why do people do those "elseif"s in this situation?
I KNOW for a fact "if" by itself would work fine, i was just wondering if there's acutally a viable reason for doing this...

for effeciency. if your chat is '/red' then it obviously isn't going to be '/blue'; so there is no reason to check for it.

Optimization.

NPC Code:

---

// Both are being checked.

if (thing==A) {

}

if (thing==B) {

}



// If the first statement is false, check the second statement, else, skip the second statement.

if (thing==A) {

}

else if (thing==B) {

}

---

Think of it this way:

If thing is A, how could it ever be B? So why should you check it twice if thing is A?

haha, rick. i beat you by one minute.

According to KSI-GS:

:grin:

got it

Another reason:

NPC Code:

---

if (letter==A){

type A;

} if (letter==B){

type B;

} else {

type CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ;

}

---

If the letter's A, you'll also get CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

Good way:

NPC Code:

---

if (letter==A){

type A;

} else if (letter==B){

type B;

} else {

type CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ;

}

This bugged me for a while in C++, until i showed the scripts to Tseng and he said he liked if else better, i used that and it was fixed . Me < Tseng
