Actionplayeronline substitute?

[DarkDragoon_Lloyd]

OK, well I was working on a script, and it required actionplayeronline, but apparently it doesn't check if someone gets onto RC...
Is there some way I could substitute a script for actionplayeronline?

I was thinking something that sees if allplayerscount has increased from the previous ammount, and that might work(although, it could be flawed if a player logged off around the same time a player logged on)...
\=
Any suggestions?

something along the lines of this mabey?
if (actionplayeronline) {
for (i=0; i<allplayerscount; i++) {
with (allplayers[i]) {
commands...
}
}
}

If a player logs on, use a for loop and check if the player that logged on has a levelname of "". That'll generally be an RC.

actionplayeronline isn't triggered when an RC logs on at all

NPC Code:

---

if(actionplayeronline){

for(i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++){

  with(allplayers[i]){

    if(strlen(#F)<=0){

      }

    }

  }

}

---

well,wouldnt this detect when a RC logged on?!
also,i think you cant replace actionplayeronline for checking when a player enters on the playerworld. (I may be wrong)

no, that would make it so when a player logs on, it executes that script on whatever RCs are already logged on

you could make two strings comparing the RCs that were online last time the script checked, but still, it would depend on when a player logs on, which could be hours. You could just make it a timeout too, instead of actionplayeronline.. but it would take up more resources

Hmm,i read the script again and you are completely right.

Was I the only one that read this?

If it's true, then the scripts that you guys have produced doesn't matter.

Hell, you could have several RCs log on before another player does.

You could have a looping NPC that checks the RCs that are currently online and stores a list of their accounts in a string, then every loop, check the new list of RC accounts to the old list to see if some RC logged off or logged on, and act accordingly. Although I dont recommend server-side loops for something unimportant like a staff-tool or something.

Oops, I wasn't reading replys, I was just giving a suggestion.
