Shovel Script

[[email protected]]

Hi, im working on my shovel script still and I am attempting to make it so that when you press d, it shovels, (<--that part alraedy works), and you
randomely get one of 3 weapons. Lets call them "Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", and "Treasure/Key".

Basically, I would like to know how randomely adding a weapon would be dont with int ( random(.

Thanks.

You could do something like:

PHP Code:

temp.shoveling_prizes = {"Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", "Treasure/Key"};
addWeapon(shoveling_prizes[int(random(0,3))]);

Well this is the script.

PHP Code:

function doAddItems()
{
temp.shoveling_prizes = {"Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", "Treasure/Key"};
addWeapon(shoveling_prizes[int(random(0,3))]);  
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired()
{
if ( player.level ="jamerson-shoveling.nw" )
{
setani ven_shovel,NULL;
freezeplayer 1;
doAddItems();
}
else
player.addMsg2("You must be in the shovel room to use shovel!");
}

Search the forums for examples on how to use triggerserver, and on ActionServerSide.

You need to use them to call your doAddItems function on the serverside.

Also try using == for if check statements.

ok I got it to work, but on my systems, we use clientr.item.ITEMNAME=QUANTITY.

How would I get it to add 1 quantity when it adds the weapon? heres what I have right now.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide( cmd )
{
  switch( cmd )
  {
    case "shovel":
    {
    setani jamerson_shovel,NULL;
    freezeplayer 1;
    addWeapon(shoveling_prizes[int(random(0,3))]); 
  }
 }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired()
{
if ( player.level ="jamerson-shovel.nw" )
{
triggerserver( "weapon", name, "shovel" );
temp.shoveling_prizes = {"Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", "Treasure/Key"}; 
}
else
player.addMsg2("You must be in the shovel room to use shovel!");
}

Hmm its not adding clientr.item.NAME=QUANTITY

basically, the quantity is nothing when it adds it to you, and that defeats the purpous of the script because after you make the treasure, you sell it for cash. And quantity counts.

Could someone else help me?

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide( cmd )
{
  switch( cmd )
  {
    case "shovel":
    {
    temp.shoveling_prizes = {"Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", "Treasure/Key"}; 
    findplayer(params[1]) {
      setani jamerson_shovel,NULL;
      freezeplayer 1;
      clientr.item.( @ shoveling_prizes[int(random(0,3))])++;
    }
  }
 }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired()
{
if ( player.level ="jamerson-shovel.nw" )
{
triggerserver( "weapon", name, "shovel",player.account);
}
else
player.addMsg2("You must be in the shovel room to use shovel!");
} 


Should work. On the serverside, it is rare to have a reference to a player since the server deals with all players, so you must pass the account name of the player in the triggerserver() so you can find the player who triggered it, and then deal with them.

Also, if your servers systems are any good they would have a public function for adding items... like:
Inventory.additem(itemname,quantity);
If they don't, get them to add it.

if ( player.level == "jamerson-shovel.nw" )

= is equals
1 + 1 = 2

== is for comparisons
if a is like b
if ( a == b )

Dusty your script doesn't even add the weapons!

help?

He suggested that your system should get an additem() function to handle quantity of items ;o

You need to use player.addWeapon(). Perhaps you should learn the basics of Gscript before you try to script things that involve you coming to the forums and asking how to do everything.

[email protected], I suggest you look through the Graal Wikipedia. It will help you a lot quicker than asking for help here. It may also benefit you to collaborate with another scripter so you can learn more about the language.

Seriously, the GraalWiki needs some updates/changes. When I go on there to look for a function, I get about 200 unrelated pages and none of them having to do with what I'm looking for.

LOL'd at the deleted posts.

Jamerson, you may want to make a success rate on this. So maybe try

PHP Code:

temp.success = int(random(1,50));
if (success == 1) {
//continue
} 


Also use "setani(jamerson_shovel,null);" and "freezeplayer(1);"

That's not even his problem... yet a success rate is not bad. Even thought I think that's a little too low D:

Remember that random also creates a floating point, so you'd most likely want to check if 'success' was <=1, instead of just == 1. Can also simplify the matter by using int() on the random value.

He is using int() :S

[DustyPorViva]

Hm... I don't remember seeing that before. Oh well! Still better to use <= though, as you can then create higher chances and such.

To clarify on what Dusty said, you really should have a player class with some basic item functions, e.g.

PHP Code:

public function addItem(item, quantity) {
  // checks to make sure quantity is valid, etc.
  
  this.clientr.item.(@ item) += quantity;
  this.addWeapon(item);
  
  // perhaps some logging?
}

public function removeItem(item, quantity) {
  // checks to make sure quantity is valid
  
  this.clientr.item.(@ item) = max(0, this.clientr.item.(@ item) - quantity); // the 'max' prevents the quantity from falling below zero
  if (this.clientr.item.(@ item) <= 0) {
    this.removeWeapon(item);
  }
  // perhaps some logging?
}

public function getItemQuantity(item) {
  return this.clientr.item.(@ item);
} 


You would create a class called "player" or so, then join it to the player in the onActionPlayerOnline function in the Control-NPC, like...

PHP Code:

function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  player.join("player");
} 


You could then do stuff like

PHP Code:

  temp.prizes = {"Treasure/Map", "Treasure/Chest", "Treasure/Key"}; 
  player.addItem(randomstring(prizes), 1); 


which would automatically handle adding the weapon, changing the quantity, and logging (if you added that).

Also, you should use player.level.name, not player.level. The former is a string, which is what you want, while the latter is an object. Unfortunately, Graal does some funny stuff which will let that work, but it's poor scripting to do so.

I think this is one of the most frequent problems I encounter... I never remember and using the former actually works most of the time until I randomly encounter the time that player.level won't work and I sit for a day or two trying to figure out why the **** my script isn't working correctly.

It can be quite confusing, and understandably so. The same applies to player.ani.

I know, I was just giving an example and an idea.
