When I use that command for some bridges, it kills my system NPCs. Is it supposed to do this?

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong....

NPC Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  drawunderplayer;

  setshape2 8,16,{

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22,

    22,22,0,0,0,0,22,22

    };

  if (playerattached) {

    if ((playery in |y+0,y+1| && playerdir==0) || (playery+3 in |y+15,y+16| && playerdir==2)) {

      detachplayer;

      playery += vecy(playerdir)*2;

    }

  } else if (playerx+1 in |x+2,x+5| && ((playery+0.5 in |y+0,y+2| && playerdir==2) || (playery+1 in |y+14,y+16| && playerdir==0))) {

    attachplayertoobj 0,id;

    // playery += vecy(playerdir)*2;

  }

  timeout = 0.05;

}

Angel you should try and reply no here, and not just AIM. That way people with the same problems can find an answer.

Dude, don't do setshape and drawunderplayer etc every 0.05 seconds.

adam · #6 05-01-2003, 10:40 PM

I agree with both of you,

Post answers with the thread so we can all learn from it, And don't do setshape and all that every 0.05 seconds.

If you want to attach a player to an npc then add some server-side script, like if (created) this.isadummynpc = true; so that the server doesn't remove it from server-side. It is normally removing npcs without server-side script and is only keeping the position and client-side script for sending it to the client, so there are less npcs to handle. But if you want to attach the client to it you should make the npc exist on server-side. You see what npcs exist on server-side if you watch the local-level-vars thing (button on the RC).
