Script not working
 

I know this isn't what you wanted to see, but anyway, whats wrong with this shop script?

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Excaliber

if (created)

{

  setshape 1,32,32;

}

if(actionbuy)

{

  with(getplayer(#p(0)))

  {

    if(strequals(#c,buy thunder shot) && playerrupees>249999 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.thundershotstock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=250000;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+250000);

       addweapon Thunder Shot;

     }

      if(strequals(#c,buy thunder spin) && playerrupees>17499 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.thunderspinstock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=17500;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+17500);

       addweapon Thunder Spin;

     }

      if(strequals(#c,buy flame wall) && playerrupees>9499 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.flamewallstock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=9500;

       addweapon Flame Wall;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+9500);

     }

      if(strequals(#c,buy thunder wall) && playerrupees>10999 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.thunderwallstock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=11000;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+11000);

       addweapon Thunder Wall;

     }

      if(strequals(#c,buy fire spin 2) && playerrupees>14999 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.firespin2stock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=15000;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+15000);

       addweapon Fire Spin 2;

     }

      if(strequals(#c,buy nuke shot 2)&& playerrupees>14999 && strtofloat(#s(serverr.nukeshot2stock>0)))

     {

       playerrupees-=15000;

       setstring serverr.eventsbalance,#v(strtofloat(#s(serverr.eve  ntsbalance))+15000);

       addweapon Nuke Shot 2;

     }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(playerchats)

{

  triggeraction x,y,buy,#a,#c;

}

... is not doing what you think it is.

Perhaps you mean:
The same also applies to your other stock checks.

Also, please name your threads better. Thank you!

Thanks, I guess when you're looking at it you miss the easy stuff :\ Thanks though ^^

You're welcome.

Hrm, coldn't you use strlen(#s(serverr.thundershotstock)) > 0 ? I don't know really that well i dislike gs1 in so many ways. :rolleyes:

Not quite! strlen() returns the length of a given string. If the string contains "0", then it's length would technically still be above 0, thus giving an undesired effect.

I see I lack the the skill of delphi. ^^

What does any of that have to do with delphi? It's common sense.

I honestly dont see why you used triggeraction, it's not required when the same variable is triggered anyway with playerchats..

also setting a serverr.string to 0 will delete the string
since 0 is the same as null. I learned this the hard way with my custom hp system. you can substitiute and test for the word "none" i suppose though gs2 (if you convert the script) may want a "string" to look like that an int/floats to have no quotations. hm i see the point of my post has past so i will stop.

Yeah, but when it's 0, and deleted, it's still read as 0, which is okay. Also, when the script needs the string again, it is recreated, so it's not a problem. And the triggeraction is there so I can get the player's account as #p(0). Eh, it's secure, and it works fine now :)

Why would you want #a as #p(0)?

Wrong. Setting serverr.string to 0 will give it a string value of 0. Null is not the same as 0.

I do that too. It seems logical that if you're running a script serverside it shouldn't be able to know tha value of #a since it's not running on the client. How would you know who called the serverside function? Although i've since realised you can use #a serverside... but i don't understand why.

You can? That make little to no sence XD I always thought that if you wanted something serversde to act on a player you would need getplayer and send the account with the action :|

Because the code is run in the context of who triggered the action.

On GS2 enabled servers, I've found that setting a string to 0 gets rid of the string.

No, that doesn't seem logical at all.

Anyway, don't trust the client to send the right parameters like that (unless you really want trainer users to be able to trigger that action for any player).

So i've done some testing, it seems that on a gs2 enabled server, setting a serverr string to zero does destroy the string, although not entirely. There is still somewhat of a reminant of the string. Example:

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated() {

  serverr.zelphtest = "OMG! Set!";

  sendtonc("serverr.zelphtest: "@serverr.zelphtest);

// returns serverr.zelphtest: OMG! Set!

  serverr.zelphtest = "0";

  sendtonc("serverr.zelphtest: "@serverr.zelphtest);

// returns serverr.zelphtest: 0

  serverr.zelphtest = "";

  sendtonc("serverr.zelphtest: "@serverr.zelphtest);

// returns serverr.zelphtest: 

}

---

Notice the difference between the last two? Of course, in gs2, a string can be treated as a float and vice-versa so it doesnt really matter.
