An important message to ALL playerworlds

[zokemon]

This is an important message to all playerworlds be you Gold, Classic, Hosted or Private. A lot of accounts recently have been getting this bug that makes your player float for some reason. I am suspecting it is some script error on the login server but I am not for sure this is true.

This only seems to be happening on certain servers, and this is why:

The glitch is a result of your player.z variable being not initialized to -51 when you login. People don't experience this on some servers because those servers have scripts which do initialize that variable.

So how do I, as a server Manager [or scripter] fix this glitch for myself, my staff and anyone that visits my server?

Simple! Almost every server nowadays has a main system npc that sets things such as enablefeatures() or showstats() as well as tiledefs for the player. Just shoot this line right inside that npc's onCreated() function (Clientside!) and you are set:

NPC Code:

---

  player.z = -51;

---

I really hope every server sets this since none of the Graal admins seem to be able to find another fix for it. If you have this bug and know a server that isn't fix this, please inform their Manager. If they still won't fix it, kindly give me the name of their server and I'll be glad to have a word with them.

Attached is a sample image of the glitch.

Thank you,

I didn't know if I should post this in the playerworlds forum or the main forum since it is rather important. If the main forum is more appropriate, please move it there mods!
