Trouble with NPCs working on Doomsday
 

Recently, we had GS2 enabled on Doomsday. This was supposed to be a good thing so that the server could work.

Then I actually put scripts up. Now the scripts don't work. There is no errors on the editor, and none that show up on RC. They just don't work. Nothing works.

I know GS2 is enabled because an echo script does work - very laggly - but it does work. I have tested NPCs on Cid, and they don't work for him, and he's on a Mac and a PC.

I'm really having trouble figuring out what is wrong. If someone could help me out in figuring out the problem, it would be most grateful. Once these scripts work, DD is 75% done.

I'll back this up. I was helping test some things, it seems all the scripts that related to gs2 are not working. Macs and PCs alike (whether or not that would make a difference).

Perhaps you could post portions of the scripts that do not work? It's pretty hard to give you an answer as to why it's not working, if we have no clue what kind of tomfoolery you have in your NPCs. ;)

Is something heinieraping your NPC server?

Here is an example of a script that doesn't work. Ajira gave it too me:

NPC Code:

---

function onPlayerChats() {

  if (player.chat == "skip quests")

    setlevel2(utility.graal,30,30);

}

---

This doesn't work.

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme){toweapons Tailor;} (followed by all the scripts) 

---

This doesn't work.

Heres the stats:

[edit]Ok, I can work with the quotes. I can also blame Ajira.

If toweapons doesn't work at all, what should it be replaced with?[/edit]

->
Apart from that, see here and here.

Is there a //#CLIENTSIDE above this? It should work, unless there is. Also, put " " around the level name.

toweapons needs to be removed from everything. You can't use it at all.

EDIT: Okay, %? When did this change take place and why wasn't I notified? :[
Ignore what I editted out.

toweapons became deprecated when the NPC-Server was put in place. You should use 'player.addweapon(str)' serverside instead.

I'm confused on how to work 'player.addweapon(str)' as this is a strange script to me.


Is it the same as the chat, or differen't? Like:

?

'str' in a command means string. In this case, it is the name of the weapon you are trying to add. Make sure to enclose strings with quotation marks.
