Thanks to those who are willing to help in advance.

[Geovanie Legend]

Ugh, ok well let's try this, if someone can script rather well please pm me. thanks

[Saga2001]

Oh no Geo! you can't do that either, cause no good scripters will. Anyway its better to learn how to rather then to get a script, right?

[Geovanie Legend]

True i suppose, i just hate having to learn how to script all over again, lol

Here's a hint, if you're going to make it accessible after the player leaves, it should use a server tag...

[emortylone]

Explain l8er? I was told @ first that triggeraction was a p2p thing, so i didn't bother to learn it. Then i found out and shot the guy, lol, j/k.

Only if it's non-P2P. You should be careful about giving advice without querying the setting.

Okay, so you don't have to declare a server string if the server is P2P? Can you set a variable (not a server.*) that will keep its value when everyone leaves and enters?

Sure, you can set a this.variable that stays with the NPC.

What if you take the NPC to another level? =0

If the NPC were moved somehow then it would still retain its values.

Okay, what about these situations?

1. A person is holding the NPC when all of a sudden he gets disconnected.

2. The weapon is in a person's weapon list, and he logs off/on.

3. The weapon is in a person's weapon list, and he travels to a new level.

When did we start talking about weapons?

Weapons are NPCs, too!

Not serverside NPCs.

Of course not. So let me get this straight...

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters)

{

  canbecarried;

}

if (playertouchsme)

{

  this.a = 314159;

}

---

Okay, so if you pick up the NPC and carry it to the next level, assuming that you touched the NPC in the process of picking it up, with the value of this.a in the other level still be 314159?

I don't think serverside NPCs can be carried. But they fall into two categories:

1) Local NPCs, which can't leave the level.
2) Database NPCs, which can.

Both have their this. variables stored no matter what happens to them (within reason).

Got it. Much thanks.
