It set the strings and worked fine with if (created). You could do something like this if it's perhaps not adding them
NPC Code:
oldnpcscount = npcscount;
while (npcscount == oldnpcscount)
create();
with(npcs[npcscount-1])
blah;
function create()
putnpc2 x,y,{blah;}
This way it would ensure it really adds the NPC before continuing, and if it doesn't add it, it will try to add it again.  |
The problem was not that the npc was not being added (or my script), it was that the newly added npc was not having its strings set. And as I said stefans code
NPC Code:
oldnpcscount = npcscount;
putnpc2 ...
if (npcscount>oldnpcscount) with (npcs[oldnpcsount]) { ... }
Did not work at first , he came on to the server and removed the
if (npcscount>oldnpcscount)
And then it worked ( thats when he posted "works for me" )
The real problem is that after the putnpc2 the npcscount was increasing (on very small occasions) do some local npcs loading into memory a bit farther than it should , before the with() took place, even though it was directly following the putnpc2 command. Thus the wrong npc was getting the strings set. So the new way
PHP Code:
oldnpcscount = npcscount;
putnpc2 x,y,{
join baddy;
};
with(npcs[oldnpcscount]) {
//code....
}
Works fine now. These problems however don't seem to occur in regular maps / levels just in gmaps for some reason. (As I have yet to have a problem with the npcs in regular levels)
