triggeraction x y and putnpc2 x y

[prozac424242]

I am trying to get a clientside triggeraction to place an npc serverside:

My question is, how do I access the x and y, sent from the triggeraction, on the server, in the putnpc2 command?

Here is the clientside part

NPC Code:

---

   if (actionplant)

    {

    putnpc2 x,y,

       {

       setimage ion.gif;

       message I am an ion;

       }

    }





#//CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired)

{

  //set animation or sprite

  freezeplayer .1;

  playersprite=33;

  // perform an action in front of the player

  triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,

  plant,;

}

---

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, first of all it's not #//CLIENTSIDE, it's //#CLIENTSIDE.
Second of all you need to trigger the weapon itself to run a script in it serverside.
Example:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

//stuff here

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,WEAPONNAME,params;

}

---

To access any params sent from a triggeraction, use #p(0-#)
They are strings, so you convert them to integers for use in X and Y placements, use strtofloat(#p(#0));
Then again I haven't scripted in awhile but I think that's everything you need to know.
[Edit]Edited because I think I was under the influence of fatigue while typing.

• //#CLIENTSIDE
• Weapon triggeractions take the form:
  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weaponname,params;
• They are received with the if (actionserverside) event, it is usually good to assign a name to the first parameter (and then check it on the serverside part) so it is easy to add other triggeractions to it later

Refer to bullet 3

Still does not put the npc on my server,
I tried putting in other ways to tell if the npc was created

NPC Code:

---

/////////////////////////////

//action of this npc = plant  (for farming)

/////////////////////////////



if (actionplant)

{

 putexplosion 1,x,y;

putnpc2 30,30,{

 setimg ion.gif;

 setplayerprop #c, I am an ion;

 shootarrow up;

 }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



if (weaponfired && isweapon)

{

  //set animation or sprite

  freezeplayer .1;

  playersprite=33;



triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,plant,Planting,;



}

---

Why does this still not work?

Is this automatically set, or is this some sort of 'agreement' between scripters?

[osrs]

If you read newfeatures, there is a way to use triggeraction from server-side to client-side on weapons, if you did not know, here is what is written and may help you.

- server-side scripts can do
'triggeraction 0,0,clientside,weapon,params'
to directly trigger the client-side part of
weapon of the player - catch it with
'if (actionclientside) actions;'

Ah, comme ça. Thanks, yeah I read that part but I thought it was a weapon that did a serverside trigger...

It can be done from the server-side part of a weapon too.

IF i understand this right, that is all in the same NPC.

Since you have:

NPC Code:

---

triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe  rdir)*2,pl  ant,Planting,;

---

the (actionplant) stuff needs to be in another NPC.

[prozac424242]

(missing the days of graal 1.28 when I understood npcs)

Why does it need to be in another npc?

Does anyone have a working example to share
that uses triggeractoin to perform a putnpc2 ccommand?

Because of the way you were using the triggeraction.

Yeh well when u trigger something serverside u do 0,0 so it hits the npc server

I doubt this is a valid statement.

[falco10291029]

I can do something with triggeraction and a putnpc2

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {



putnpc2 strtofloat(#p(0)),strtofloat(#p(1)),{



//stuff happens here 



}







}





//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weponname,#v(playerx+vecx(playerdir  )*2+1.5),#v(playery+2+vecy(playerdir)*2);

}

There I didn't check over it so there may be spelling errors but that should do the trick.

[prozac424242]

THanks, I got it to work!

Interesting that the first two paramaters have to be 0.

They don't have to be - it just doesn't make sense to throw in (more) irrelevant, unused values.

In the new scripting engine, this is much simpler.

I believe its automatically set , esp sence GScript is a 3rd party scripting engine

How is it third party?

[falco10291029]

Yeah well i knew my statement wasnt the actual reason it just made me feel better since it basically made sense

[ZeroTrack]

Easiest way to do it with putnpc2 is just join it with a class npc

[falco10291029]

yeah gscript is based on a different scripting language and has builtin commands that basically makes it 3rd party

[Rick]

Wrong expression/words for that context.

[falco10291029]

hows that?

[Rick]

Third party means that it was developed outside of the team/company that made the original product.

Such as Graal User Statistics (Graal.us) is third party software for GraalOnline.

No, neither can you blame those that crashed into Twin Towers
