triggeraction x y and putnpc2 x y
 

I am trying to get a clientside triggeraction to place an npc serverside:

My question is, how do I access the x and y, sent from the triggeraction, on the server, in the putnpc2 command?

Here is the clientside part

NPC Code:

---

   if (actionplant)

    {

    putnpc2 x,y,

       {

       setimage ion.gif;

       message I am an ion;

       }

    }





#//CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired)

{

  //set animation or sprite

  freezeplayer .1;

  playersprite=33;

  // perform an action in front of the player

  triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,

  plant,;

}

---

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, first of all it's not #//CLIENTSIDE, it's //#CLIENTSIDE.
Second of all you need to trigger the weapon itself to run a script in it serverside.
Example:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

//stuff here

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,WEAPONNAME,params;

}

---

To access any params sent from a triggeraction, use #p(0-#)
They are strings, so you convert them to integers for use in X and Y placements, use strtofloat(#p(#0));
Then again I haven't scripted in awhile but I think that's everything you need to know.
[Edit]Edited because I think I was under the influence of fatigue while typing.

• //#CLIENTSIDE
• Weapon triggeractions take the form:
  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weaponname,params;
• They are received with the if (actionserverside) event, it is usually good to assign a name to the first parameter (and then check it on the serverside part) so it is easy to add other triggeractions to it later

Refer to bullet 3

Still does not put the npc on my server,
I tried putting in other ways to tell if the npc was created

NPC Code:

---

/////////////////////////////

//action of this npc = plant  (for farming)

/////////////////////////////



if (actionplant)

{

 putexplosion 1,x,y;

putnpc2 30,30,{

 setimg ion.gif;

 setplayerprop #c, I am an ion;

 shootarrow up;

 }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



if (weaponfired && isweapon)

{

  //set animation or sprite

  freezeplayer .1;

  playersprite=33;



triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,plant,Planting,;



}

---

Why does this still not work?

IF i understand this right, that is all in the same NPC.

Since you have:

NPC Code:

---

triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,pl  ant,Planting,;

---

the (actionplant) stuff needs to be in another NPC.

(missing the days of graal 1.28 when I understood npcs)

Why does it need to be in another npc?

Does anyone have a working example to share
that uses triggeractoin to perform a putnpc2 ccommand?

I can do something with triggeraction and a putnpc2

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {



putnpc2 strtofloat(#p(0)),strtofloat(#p(1)),{



//stuff happens here ;)



}







}





//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weponname,#v(playerx+vecx(playerdir  )*2+1.5),#v(playery+2+vecy(playerdir)*2);

}

There I didn't check over it so there may be spelling errors but that should do the trick.

THanks, I got it to work!

Interesting that the first two paramaters have to be 0.

Yeh well when u trigger something serverside u do 0,0 so it hits the npc server

Because of the way you were using the triggeraction.

I doubt this is a valid statement.

Is this automatically set, or is this some sort of 'agreement' between scripters?

If you read newfeatures, there is a way to use triggeraction from server-side to client-side on weapons, if you did not know, here is what is written and may help you.

I believe its automatically set , esp sence GScript is a 3rd party scripting engine

Yeah well i knew my statement wasnt the actual reason it just made me feel better since it basically made sense

Ah, comme ça. Thanks, yeah I read that part but I thought it was a weapon that did a serverside trigger...

They don't have to be - it just doesn't make sense to throw in (more) irrelevant, unused values.

In the new scripting engine, this is much simpler. :)

It can be done from the server-side part of a weapon too.

Easiest way to do it with putnpc2 is just join it with a class npc

How is it third party?

I believe it uses delphi or C to covert the engine

yeah gscript is based on a different scripting language and has builtin commands that basically makes it 3rd party

Wrong expression/words for that context.

hows that?

Third party means that it was developed outside of the team/company that made the original product.

Such as Graal User Statistics (Graal.us) is third party software for GraalOnline.

Oh I'm probably thinking of some other word that has the definition that i said but het cant blame me for my stupidity!

No, neither can you blame those that crashed into Twin Towers :rolleyes:
