Mouseovers?

[Raeiphon]

This frustrates me. How would I check if a player has his/her mouse over an npc? And if that check is true, display a text/function/whatever until they remove their mouse from over the class?

Like what Zodiac has for player nicks, but on NPC's.

Use a loop and x/y of mouse?

[Twinny]

Something like this

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
  setTimer(0.05);

function onTimeout()
{
  this.over = false;
  if (mousex in |this.x, this.x+this.width|)
  {
    if (mousey in |this.y, this.y+this.height|)
    {
      this.over = true;
    }
  }
   
  if (this.over)
    showimg(201, blah);
  else
    hideimg(201);

   setTimer(0.05);
}

Cheers Twinny! :]

I presume that's clientside? It doesn't appear to be working for me.

Twinny, what's showimg(201, blah); do?

[Raeiphon]

It's just a reference as to where to put whatever I want shown when the mouse is over.

Although, clientsided or none, it doesn't appear to be working at all for me.

Did you specify values for this.x and this.y and the height/width variables? I am not too familiar with GScript, but this seems like it could be an issue?

[Admins]

It must be clientside yes, and the showimg() parameters must be specified (imgindex, image, x, y)

[Raeiphon]

Looks like i'll need to fiddle around with this.

Would sticking a triggerclient in a timeout cause lag at all?

[Chandler]

function onCreated()
{
  this.mouseWidth = 5;
  this.mouseHeight = 5;  
  this.mouseText = "Welcome to cHANDLER";
  this.onTimeout();
}

function onTimeout()
{
  if (mousex in |this.x, (this.x + this.mouseWidth)| && mousey in |this.y, (this.y +this.mouseHeight)|)
  {
    temp.mouseOver = true;
  }
   
  if (temp.mouseOver)  
  {
    /*
    triggerclient("weapon", "weaponName", "mouseAction", this.mouseText);
    function onActionClientside(curOption, curText) 
    {
      if (temp.curOption == "mouseAction")  
      {
    */
        showtext(201, this.x, this.y, "Arial", "bc", this.mouseText);   
        changeimgvis(201, 2);  
    /*
       }
         else
      if (temp.curOption == "hideText")  
      {
        hideimg(201);
      }
    }
    */
  }
    else
  {
    hideimg(201);  
    /*
      triggerclient("weapon", "weaponName", "hideText"); 
    */
  }
   setTimer(0.05);
}

Also, Raeiphon, I'd use something like that, I'd carry the ''message'' over to and then something to stop it.

I was thinking this.width/this.height since it's set with showcharacter(); and i think when you set an image or use setshape();.
