NPC Server Ideas

Falcor · #1 07-27-2001, 06:24 AM

SOme of thes ideas have been posted.. Others have not.. Bear with me please... (I will bold the most important stuff for you skimmers)

With(getplayer(id)) and idscount
Well This would be a REALLY gould thing for server-wide events suchs Earth Quakes and the like. It would also be useful for deleteing old flags or warping everyone to places. Nice and useful.

IDscount ist the number of ids or players online. that would be stuid. idscount = the highest number ID online so if ids 1,2,5,7,9,14,and,18 are online.. idscount = 18

Keydown for all keys & mouse detection
Keydown2 and mouse acually should fall under general but since im here....

Ok for keyboard. I know stefan dont want people sturgulling to learn how to play the game with so mant keys and wants it to be gamepad compliant.. But... Name me the people that dont have a game pad. and those who dont have a keyboard... See the difference? Keydown 2 DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FOR MOVEMENT.. It jsut frees u[p scriping A LOT!!! like More notes on Intruments? and how about codeing extra weapons?
I dont know why wer are limited to default since we cant do anything original with them unless we disable movement. and even then are limited to up down left right and ASD

Mouse would be good also. This does not have to be for movement detecting mouse position and mouse actions in scripting would be a good idea. It would free up stuff like letting people click on a system item to get more info on it? just detecting where the mouse is and what its doing... like

mousex (on board)

mousey (on board)

mousex2 (on layer4)

mousey2 (on layer4)

flags like..

mouseclicked (if the mosue was clicked)

mousereleased (If the mouse was released)

mousedraged (If the mouse key was down when the mouse came over the NPC)

mousepoint (if mouse in on top of NPC)

This stuff will free up scripting so much it will be awsome. Too many posibilities =D

And it dont have to be for movment. Only scripting options to detect what the mouse is doing would be fine!

well I like most of the ideas but the mouse one...

like graal was not ment to be used with the mouse....

but I guess you could create cool effects with it or make a more rp servere (like you click a spot and the guy goes to it)

Falcor · #6 07-28-2001, 05:49 AM

AS i said. Mouse dont have to be for movement. Its just detecting what the mouse is doing. Jut addind variagles and flags to detect where and waht the mouse is doing. thats all. Where we go from there... I duno

this was explained on every other forum lol

in the first week of the graal com center, people could add any avatar and change their titles at will, then they made the 500/1000 posts rule =( so now he's stuck with the avatar and title till 500 and 1000 posts =P

btw, i like the ideas =P also: playerspeed = #(the # being anything up to lets say 10 or something depending on how Stefan would make it =P) it would be a good thing to add =)

lol like say the mouse is at the close button it says Don't Go There!

onwall isn't that hard at all once you know how to do it...

as for more keydowns...if you can script well (not extraordinarily) then you can figure out more than a couple ways to use the keys you have to their full potential.

round command be nice

Falcor · #12 07-29-2001, 05:16 AM

I think int(rational number) will round... :It gives you the integer valu. Im not sure if it rounds or compleatly takes off the decimal... Hehehe. Owell. I always thought it rounded but I never really investigated cuz i never needed to.

As for onwall, It acually isnt that hard to do. But I hate doing it. >.<

kyle0654 · #13 07-29-2001, 05:30 AM

int(num) - will cut off all decimals
int(num+.5) - will round to the nearest integer

Falcor · #14 07-29-2001, 05:47 AM

Ahh so it DOES cut off the decimals. Same thing as doing

myvar - (myvar%1)

General · #15 07-29-2001, 06:08 AM

mouseclicked was my idea

General · #16 07-29-2001, 06:12 AM

...anways, mouse variables would be nice...they would soooo improve GCMs bank

General · #17 07-29-2001, 06:13 AM

it sould be mouseX becuase mousex is like mouse sex

Falcor · #18 07-29-2001, 10:07 AM

well in levelorgx and levelorgy Hmm... see anything wrong? now mousex is way better. =D

And I had suggested mouse options liek this to stefan befor he released 2.04... I even posted it >.< Its not your idea, ITs not even my ideas since its not like Revolutuionbally. Like you can do stuff liekt hat in Javascript.
