What's Wrong?
 

I'm having trouble making a script that, after a certain amount of time (seconds) it warps you to a level.

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters||created) {

  timeout = 1;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.warp==1;

}

if (this.warp==1) {

  setlevel2 onlinestartlocal.nw,30,30;

}

---

o.O

Doesn't work...

Oh, I just realized. That script is clientside. setlevel2 doesn't work clientsidely.

So, how would I make a script that after a certain amount of seconds or whatever, it warps you from the level you are, to the OSL?

Something isn't right, it still refuses to work online.

...dont give bad advice, i'm assuming this is a level npc

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) setlevel2 onlinestartlocal.nw,30,30;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || playerenters) timeout = 1;

if (timeout) triggeraction x,y,serverside,;

i dont really mind giving this out since its just 4 lines, but you should really look over some of the documents graal give you or visit Graal Wiki.

Would it help if I said that's not working either? ;-;

. . .
Wtf is wrong with you people

You can't trigger something unless it has a shape.

Heh, I should have taken your word on your scripting skills before and hired you. But I guess it was protocol. O_o

Do not always trust the information that the client sends.

You do not actually need to send the account name, and you do not actually need to use getplayer() to warp the player.

You don't? How would it know which player to warp, if there's more than one?

It automatically uses the account name of the player triggering it. It's a lot more secure without sending #a, since clientside info can be edited. Plus, you don't have to +.5 to the xy coordinates of the level npc, it should trigger just fine. =\

Neh, I've never had it trigger using x,y.
I didn't know it automatically referenced the player that sent the trigger O-o

Eh, it works though, appreciate it Yen.

what's wrong with just doing this

If a player enters before the first one is warped, one player won't be warped.

Not quite!

sleep causes a loss of focus on the player.

First, it would be wise to tell us if this is supposed to be a level NPC or a weapon NPC. The best solution to this problem differs between the two.

The main problem with your script is that your last block is a conditional block instead of an event block. Rick suggested how to best fix that.

The secondary problem with your script is that setlevel2 is a serverside command and must be executed on serverside.

There has been a lot of bad advice in this thread, and it has not made me very happy.

I know you know that setlevel2 isn't a clientside command, but please look more carefully in the future to avoid making the same mistake.

You are suggesting a weapon script. Not only would it be wise to note this, but it would probably be wise not to suggest a weapon script that tries to trigger to a weapon sharing the same name as the player's current nickname.
Bad assumption to make at this point without further information. Also, as Yen pointed out, it would require a setshape (or an image) to function properly.

However.

You just suggested a script that would allow malicious people to warp any player on the server to the onlinestartlocal, regardless of where they are or what they're doing. You've become a trainer enabler; good job!

Mostly just that it wouldn't work. As Skyld noted, sleep changes the scope. You can check out the effect yourself with a simple script:

NPC Code:

---

function onPlayerEnters() {

  echo("1:" @ player.account);

  sleep(1);

  echo("2:" @ player.account);

}

Please, in the future, take care not to give bad advice. Remember, folks who consistently give bad advice will be masked from this forum. If you want to help (this part is appreciated) but have no idea what you're talking about or don't take the time to look at your solution carefully (this part is not), please don't confuse the person you're trying to help.
