Need Help with a "Homestone" Script

[Deathborn123]

Hey NAT Community,

I'd need help with my script which is basicly porting you to the onlinestartlocal after 10secs and playing a gani in this time. After you used it, you'd have a Cooldown for 6minutes. Quite simply you may think but i tried and tried and asked some people but they coulnd't help me, maybe you can?!

Oh yea and please keep those "My Ass whats that for a dumb script" for yourself please

Here is what i did so far:


//This will be the Homestone porting you to the Onlinestartlocal
function onActionServerside(action){
if (action == "warp"){
setlevel2("onlinestartlocal.graal",30,30);
player.chat="passed!";
}
}


//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
client.cooldown = false;

}
function onWeaponfired() {
if (client.pause<=0&&client.cooldown=false) {
setani Homestone,NULL;
player.freezetime = 10.0;
client.cooldown = true;

setTimer(0.10);


}
else {
player.chat="Your Homestone is not Ready yet! You need to wait atleast " @client.pause@ " seconds!";

}
}

function onTimeout() {
triggeraction(0,0,serverside,warp,warpout,null);
player.chat="Warped!";
for (client.pause=>0; client.pause <=600; client.pause-1{
sleep 1.0;


}
if (client.pause=0) {
client.cooldown = false;
}
}


Regards,
Zab

You're using a mix of GS1 and GS2 which is very bad.
Also, try using triggerserver("gui", name, "warpout");

Also, you should be doing

for (client.pause = 0; client.pause <= 600; client.pause -= 1)

PHP Code:

function onActionserverside(action) {
  switch (action) {
    case "warp":
      if (timevar2 > player.local.waittime + 60) {
        setlevel2("onlinestartlocal.nw", 30, 30);
        player.local.waittime = timevar2;
      }else
        player.chat = "Not ready yet. Wait" SPC int(player.local.waittime - timevar2) SPC "seconds.";
     break;
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired() {
  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "warp");
} 


Why don't you try something like this?

A very basic version but he also wants a cool down period, which would be easily implemented using you code

It has a cooldown of 60 seconds like his script

Oh yeah. I didn't notice

Well, they could mash the D button and trigger the server a ton. Might be better to do the checking clientside. Pretty easy to change anyways.

It would be very hard to send enough triggers by mashing down the D key to even lag the server, especially with the checks that are being done serverside. On the other hand, if it were to loop through a bunch of players, that's another story.

I think clientside checking would be the best bet here, to be quite honest. I would always try and avoid making triggers to serverside as much as possible unless needed.

Check first on clientside, then later on serverside (to be sure they aren't, for some reason, changing the data).

What he said.

I noticed Tig used...

PHP Code:

player.local.waittime = timevar2; 


I hope the local object is something you just threw on there and not another thing I don't know about.

Well local flags exist, but after you pointed that out I noticed I should have just used a flag without a prefix. (player.waittime)

What's the advantage to something like player.waittime as opposed to clientr.waittime?

Well, you can use almost any flag type you want for this procedure. A flag with no lead is saved on the player's account and can only be accessed server-side. Clientr. sends the strings to client as well, which is sort of unnecessary since we'll probably never use waittime client-side as there is no timevar or timevar2 clientside. If you do player.waittime client-side it won't be able to be read by the NPC-Server.

player variables aren't converted to and from strings like client variables, so you can use objects on them and have large string sizes without them being cut off.
