GScript2 Questions

[Evil_Trunks]

1. I can't do this for some reason

PHP Code:

colors = player.colors; 


both are arrays
i can do this, however

PHP Code:

this.array = colors; 


the array of NPC colors is copied to this.array

2. hasweapon, it does not work for me (using old gscript serverside)
and i can't figure out what the correct substitution is for this

3. addstring, I can't get this to work with gscript2

PHP Code:

addstring(this.list,"test");
message(this.list); 


the message shows 0

4. could someone explain getstring()?
edit: nevermind this one

perhaps something like:

NPC Code:

---

for(i=0;i<player.colors.size();i++) {

  colors[i] = player.colors[i];

}

---

or something might work

the correct syntax is:

NPC Code:

---

this.list.add("test");

message(this.list);

You don't need to calculate the size each pass through the loop, you know.

You could probably just do this:

NPC Code:

---

i = 0;

for (colour: player.colors) {

  colours[i] = colour;

  i++;

}

It was an example, I wasn't going for efficiency as much as method.

I would figure you want to show someone an example in the most efficient way? You know, so they get the point in the better way.

I'm not here to write the best code for people. I gave them a method of doing it, if they want to improve it and make it more efficient, that's up to them.

There's no substitute for hasweapon. =(

[Arkan1k]

findweapon(str) - returns object

I'd presume you'd do something like:

NPC Code:

---

if (findweapon(weaponname) == true) {

  doStuff();

}

---

I haven't had a play with it, but I'd say from the name of the command it would probably be the substitute, or close to, for hasweapon(str);

That gives an object link to the weapon, but I think that you can get a link to a weapon you do not possess?


also, i am trying to do something like this:
something = "text" @ var;
but if var is 1, i dont want it to set to text1, i want it to give me the value of text1

if someone could help me out with that i'd appreciate it x.x

If you can't find a substitute for hasweapon(), you could always script your own.

This should work:

PHP Code:

function PlayerHasWeapon(weaponname) {
  for(w: weapons) {
    if(w.name == weaponname) {
      return true;
    }
  }

  return false;
} 


That might not be the best way to do it, but it will work. (I'm not sure, if you can use something like weapons.name.index(weaponname) or not)

[Tolnaftate2004]

I don't have gscript2 on the server I work on, but I would try:

PHP Code:

if (findweapon(name) in weapons){
  // blah
}

Am I correct in saying that instead of using something like:

NPC Code:

---

player.chat = "Account #s(this.string1) was kicked";

---

I would use:

NPC Code:

---

player.chat = "Account" @ this.string1 @ "was kicked";

---

I'm confused about that, because I want a deffinate way of identifying what the stringname is from the rest of the words.

I hope this makes sense.

you're definitely right
message codes are outdated and shouldnt be used anymore

although you forgot the space

NPC Code:

---

player.chat = "Account " @ this.string1 @ " was kicked";

---

[Inverness]

Hmm, So I would do:

NPC Code:

---

player.chat = "Account " @ this.string1 @ " was kicked";

---

instead of:

NPC Code:

---

player.chat = "Account "@this.string1@" was kicked";

---

because it appears to have to many spaces in the first one, why is that? >.<
