GetNPC + this. variables

[Faheria_GP2]

okay, when you do

with(getNPC(name)) {
this.var=1;
}

is that for the NPC that called the "with" or the NPC recieving the with? I have a feeling that it's for the recieving NPC, because stefan mentioned something about doing that...but i don't remember for sure now

[Saga2001]

its the recieving one.

[Faheria_GP2]

thanks...I thought that was the case, but wanted to make sure...

for setting variable to npc calling 'name'

NPC Code:

---

with (getnpc(name)){

variable=value;

}

---

for setting variable to npc: 'name'

NPC Code:

---

with (getnpc(name)){

this.variable=value;

}

[Faheria_GP2]

you are smart

[TB3]

Ummm yeah it for recieving db npc im pretty sure i havent used it though i do use with (npcs.[i]) {} or with (npcs.[-1]) to get just placed npcs from control npc

Ok here the correct version:

NPC Code:

---

tempvar = this.varfrom;

with (getnpc(name)) {

  this.varto = tempvar;

}

---

The this. variable always belongs to
the current active npc, which is the npc
with the name 'name' when you do the
second assignment.
Currently there is no way to access the
this. vars of the executing npc.

Why not implement something like "that.var" when using with(getnpc) {}
So, it controls the "this." var of the other npc. That would be usefull.

I found a somesort of primitive way tpo get a this.string to the other npc. and that is by tokenizing it.

tokenize "#s(this.strfrom)"
with(getnpc(name)) {
setstring this.strto,#t(0);
}
It works in any sence =\
