showpoly inside class

[Linkishback]

Hi, I'm making a class to draw basic shapes but it won't draw!

CLASS: player-drawing

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

public function showRect(id, x, y, width, height) {

  showpoly(id, {x, y, x+width, y, x+width, y+height, x, y+height});

  player.chat = "Nice rectangle!";

}

---

I call it by joining the class to the player and calling:

WEAPON: Gui

NPC Code:

---

player.showRect(201, 0,0,200,200);

---

Am I doing something wrong, or is it not posible to do this with a class?

Thanks!

Are you joining the class to the player on clientside or serverside?

clientside

Try removing the //#CLIENTSIDE part from the class.

Do you see anything in the Scripts tab in the F2 console? Also, try totally quitting your client and restarting it. Player-joined classes on clientside are very touchy.

Definitely not going to fix the problem if he's trying to draw it clientside.

Yes, it says:

NPC Code:

---

GraalScript: Function showpoly not found in script of Player Linkishback

---

[Linkishback]

And I call it like this:

WEAPON: -System/Main

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE



function onPlayerEnters() {

  player.join("player-drawing");

}



function onPlayerchats() {

  tokens = player.chat.tokenize();

  switch (tokens[0]) {

    case "showclasses":

      player.chat = "Joined classes:" SPC player.joinedclasses;

    break;

    case "rect":

      player.showRect(10,10,100,100);

    break;

  }

}

I didn't think displays worked within the player object?
I think you need to have the drawing done within a weapon.

It's also not necessary to join the class onPlayerEnters.

I don't see any real reason why you would want the 'player' object to draw it anyway. I would do something like this:

Weapon: -GUI

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  player.gui = this;
}

public function showRect(id, x, y, width, height) {
  showpoly(id, {x, y, x+width, y, x+width, y+height, x, y+height});
  player.chat = "Nice rectangle!";
} 


In other scripts you should be able to do:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  player.gui.showRect(200, 0, 0, 64 64);
} 


Honestly though I would just make the function public in the GUI and call the GUI directly instead of using a player function. I.e:

(@"-GUI").showRect(...);

I didn't know I could link weapons to the player like that! Thanks for the tip!

It doesn't necessarily have to be to the player, you can do a global var "SystemGUI = this;" in the same way, I'm not sure if there's an advantage to putting it on the player object.
