Ok. I give up...

[BocoC]

I need help!!!

NPC Code:

---

if (created) { timeout=0.1; }

if (timeout) {

  if (strtofloat(#s(this.mode))==0 || mode==0 || this.mode==0) {

    setcharani idle,;

    setcharprop #c,No Hit;

  }

  if (strtofloat(#s(this.mode))==2 || mode==2 || this.mode==2) {

    setcharprop #c,Ow;

    setcharani dead,;

    x-=1;

    sleep 2;

    x+=1;

    setstring this.mode,0;

  }

  timeout=0.1;

}

if (washit) {

  mode=2;

  this.mode=2;

  setstring this.mode,2;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created) {

  showcharacter;

}

if (washit) {

  mode=2;

  this.mode=2;

  setstring this.mode,2;

}

---

This is my ATTEMPT at getting the #@$#(@%$# 'washit' flag to work. But, I can't do it! I want to create a baddy that can be fought by multiple people (ie, serverside baddy). Only problem is, the flag 'washit' is clientside! No matter WHAT I try, I cannot get values I set in the clienside portion of the script to "carry over" to the serverside. Anybody know how this is done? It's like the dragon bosses of the bomy moon on New Main. If you hit them, can't everybody see that you damaged it? And the baddies on Providence. I'm pretty sure those can be fought by multiple people. Does ANYBODY UNDERSTAND ME!!??!!??!!?? ......help..... I even tried doing a triggeraction on itself!!!

[BocoC]

please help

[BocoC]

Be kind! Help me please!

[Aknts]

I thought all baddies could be killed by people and like if one hits everyone sees.

[BocoC]

No. I want to script my own baddy. But, the flag 'washit' is only clientside. That is my problem!

[LilbrojX]

hmm... maybe you can use trigger actoin, and have a script built into a system npc that triggers an action whenever the player swings his sword... then the baddy has to detect it, and it gets hurt.

[BocoC]

It might work, but I dunno... I wish Stefan would actually reply to me =/

HELP ME!!! I feel like breaking things! I am frustrated! Help!!!

OK

simple solution:
do something like
if (created) {
setshape 1,48,48;
}
Otherwise the server-side script
don't know the size of the npc
and asumes that its a hidden npc
(which if course cannot be hit).
You could also do the command
showcharacter on the server-side,
then the server would know its
an npc that has the size of a player
