wasn't there something like this.strings for P2P Playerworlds?

so i would
use something like this:

if(buying){
sestring this.owner,#a;
}


filling:
(use trigegraction for it)

car:
if(actionefillup){
if(strequals(this.owner,#a)){
this.gas=100; //just for example
}
else {say2 Not Your car;}
}

the refiller

if(weaponfired){
triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe rdir)*2,fillup,#a;
}

don't know if it works...

(Nick I would have done it a harder way lol.

// NPC made by ~|¤Colit¤|~

}}


now make it so i can fill the tank and save the location when the tank runs out even if they go offline plz help me! i need service stations too (cheaper ten the gas can and faster too!)

[Poogle]

is this a good idea?

[TDO2000]

first thing:
make a better keydown-routine with for loops

for(this.i=0;this.i<4;this.i++){
if(keydown(this.i)){
if(!onwall(playerx+1.5+vecx(this.i)*.5,playery+2+v ecy(this.i)*.5)){
playerx+=vecx(this.i)*.5;
playery+=vecy(this.i)*.5;
playerdir=this.i;
}
}
}

it's not a good onwall check but I dont want to write too much

I would also use triggeractions for filling up but I think there is a better way then this I think of, if u use NPC-Server...

[Poogle]

Just tell me how i can increase a this. variable with another NPC i could put a value into a temp npc then say that (this.fuel=tempstr)
but i cant place a string ike that!!! HELOP?!?!?!?!

[Poogle]

PLZ hurry i only got 70 or 80 years left in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sarcasm]
No, the save array is special, you have to put the index before the name of it, and it uses <>'s to mark the subscript instead of []'s
[/sarcasm]

Just kidding, I was just wondering why you guys didn't use the save array instead of strings?

[Poogle]

Well never used it before tell me how and i will use it! Otherwise im not up a crick w/out a paddle im in space without air!!!!

[Poogle]

i am losing my patince tell me how to use the save array plz!?!?!?!
