Control-NPC PM Responding
 

OK, I'm Making An Event System Similar To Era's, Without The GUI That Pops Up.
I Have The Weapon Finished and Working But I Just Need To Get The If Player PM The Server Saying "join" then it warps them to the level defined in serverr.event
I Have This:

if (pm){
if (strequals(#p(0),join)){
setlevel2 serverr.event[1],serverr.event[2],serverr.event[3];
}
}

I Have Also Tried

function onPM
if (params[0] == "join"){
setlevel2(serverr.event[1],serverr.event[2],serverr.event[3]);
}
}

Any Suggestions, Fixes, or Alternatives?

That doesn't work at all (I work on bscharff's server). We've tried many alterations, even made it as simple as:

NPC Code:

---

function onPM(foo, text) {

this.sendPM("HI!");

}

---

Nothing works, it just replies with the default "Hey I'm the NPC server and I control most of the NPC's". Any ideas?

And this is in the Control-NPC?

function onPM no longer works since v5 was released.

:(

Zodiac seems to have it working. Try pm'ing it classtree. I doubt a new client release would effect the server :whatever:

That's odd. I know it stopped working on a lot of servers when v5 was released, you can even find several threads on the forum talking about it.

But yeah, it seems to be working on Zodiac..

What is foo?

I think the player's account name, but in this case is not needed.

yep :)

OK,
I Found out The Problem.
Since I Was Doing setlevel2 on it's own with no this. or player. it didn't know what to do.
So Mog put player.setlevel2(L,X,Y); it's works fine :P
Thanks Guys!

Thought I'd nought, for onPM to be called, I'm pretty sure in the onCreated, or such function, you need setPM( NULL );

Bump alert, but it might prevent similar threads in the future.

If you do NOT have setPM(""); in your Control-NPC, function onPM() will not be triggered.

So, if function onPM() doesn't work for ya, simply do setPM(""); in your Control-NPC's onCreated() function.

Why did we need to bump this? :confused:

I basically said put it in onCreated in the last post.

I'm not known to read well or pay much of an attention at 4AM :D

setPM() in onCreated() doesn't help since onCreated() is not called on server restart (it will call onInitialized()). It's better to call setPM("") in onActionPlayerOnline.

The first line is the "advertising URL", not used for a long time but to stay compatible with scripts that expect to skip the first line it's still inserting an empty line.

Learn something new every day.

Man, now you're back to bumping threads :rolleyes:
