Script Working Offline, Inaffective Online

[Darkyoshi12345]

Yes, I know, this small sample script is simple and pointless (Particularly for an event), but what shall I do to make it work online? I'm quite a bit of a newbie at scripting, but I used to be able to back in the day.

NPC Code:

---

//Mouse Bomber

if (mousedown && leftmousebutton) {

putbomb 1,mousex,mousey;

}

---

Put //#CLIENTSIDE at the top. Also, isn't leftmousebutton an event of it's own?

Thanks. and "leftmousebutton" command is to make sure that theplayer has the leftmouse button. Mousedown will enable both right and left mouse buttons, but "Leftmousebutton" doesn't count as a click event.

leftmousebutton is a variable I believe, set to true if the left mouse button is down and false if it's not.

leftmousebutton is a flag

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown()
  {
  if ( leftmousebutton )
    putbomb( 1, mousex, mousey);
  }

The 'leftmousebutton' variable might not be set anymore at the time the script is run though, so if people click fast then it might not work.
So either do (in old script):

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (mousedown && strequals(#p(0),left)) {
  putbomb 1,mousex,mousey;
} 


or (new scripting):

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown() {
  putbomb 1,mousex,mousey;
} 


The onMouseDown event is only invoked on left mouse click, there is also onRightMouseDown for the right mouse button, may be should add some onMiddleMouseDown too.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onMouseDown() { 
  putbomb 1,mousex,mousey; 
} 


Then you could activate it with any mouse button.. (left, right, middle, etc);

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown(button) {
  if (button = "left") 
    putbomb(1,mousex,mousey);
}

I vote for button as param!

PHP Code:

function onMouseDown()
  {
  if ( params.size() < 1 )
    return onMouseDown( "left" );
  }

function onRightMouseDown()
  {
  this.trigger("MouseDown", "right" );
  }

function onMiddleMouseDown()
  {
  this.trigger("MouseDown", "middle" );
  } 


for the win!

Make a function onAnyMouseButton() or so.

[Gambet]

What? I've always done..

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onMouseDown()

{

 if ( params[0] == "left" ) {

  player.chat = "You have just left clicked!";

 } else if ( params[0] == "right" ) {

  player.chat = "You have just right clicked!";

 } else if ( params[0] == "double" ) {

  player.chat = "You have just double clicked!";

 } else if ( params[0] == "middle" ) {

  player.chat = "You have just clicked on your mouse wheel!";

 }

}

---

..and it's always worked fine for me.

It's a variable.

'flag' is old engine speak for boolean variable.

[calani]

what i mean by the term 'flag':
any var that is a bool
usually set by the engine
also usually read-only, but not always

some examples include
mousebuttons
player carying bush/bluerock/blackrock/sign etc
if the player has spin
if the player is male
etc.

In the old engine, the events were called flags, and that is what I thought you meant. I don't see why you attempted to correct me if we were both refering to the same thing.
