Specific flag from specific carried npc

[Methril]

Hello

I want to make this npc set a flag when it is moved out of place and then unset it when it is returned back. Some help would be appreciated. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

PHP Code:

if(created){
  canbecarried;
  x=40;
  y=23.5;
}

if (!x=40 && !y=23.5){
  set Carried;
}

if(wasthrown){
  x=40;
  y=23.5;
  unset Carried;

Spot the difference:

NPC Code:

---

if (!x=40 && !y=23.5){

  set Carried;

}



if (x!=40 && y!=23.5){

  set Carried;

}

---

Read KSI-GS.

Your middle code block is not an event block. If you want to have such a variable check, do it in a timeout.

Not sure if != operator is supported by graal, but you can also say !x==40, note the two ='s

Either may work

Please read the scripting forum rules. Especially item four.

This should work regardless of anything else, should it not?

PHP Code:

if (x!=40 && y!=23.5){
  set Carried;
}

Again: that's a conditional statement, not an event block. You would need to create a timeout loop to check those conditions every certain amount of time. Otherwise, they aren't evaluated except:

1) When the NPC is created
2) When it receives another event

This is certainly not the behavior you want. Create a timeout loop.

canbecarried will not work online, anyway

NPC Code:

---

if ( created ) {

  setimg block.png;

  canbecarried;

}

This worked online when I tested it.

The event wasthrown doesn't work serverside though.

Thank you for all of the information everyone. This NPC was going to be for a store where you pickup the item and talk to the shopkeeper to buy it. The wasthrown part was so that if you threw it it would go back to x y on the shelf. I also had it so that the shopkeeper would choose a random scolding to give you when you tried to walk out with his item without paying.

I'm now thinking that a clickable store and buy button would be much better, as I have already made clickable things work offline. Quickly, is there anything I should know about mouse scripting as per using it in online mode?
