PutNPC2 Questions

[Jman9912]

First off, let me explain what i'm doing.

I'm making an npc which drops something when selected.

I've got a class which should read which image to show from a variable in the original weapon.

PHP Code:

with (putnpc2(x,y, "join hat;")) {
  this.hatImage = "1";
  }
  } 


Is the method i'm trying to use. But whatn I read this.hatimage in the hat class, it is empty. PutNPC is executed serverside.

I've also tried it like this:

PHP Code:

   temp.npc = putnpc2(player.x, player.y, "join(\"hat\");");

    with(temp.npc) {
    temp.hatImage = "3";

}

Try this

PHP Code:

temp.npc = putnpc2(player.x, player.y, "");
temp.npc.join("hat");
temp.npc.hatImage = "3";

Set the variables first.

PHP Code:

temp.npc = putnpc2(player.x, player.y, null);
npc.hatImage = 3;
npc.join("hat");

It never seems to matter when I do it.

Should be habit regardless. You want to establish variables before it's joined, because when a class is joined it triggers onCreated() in the class. If there is any script in the onCreated() that relies on those variables, logically you'd want them defined first.

Stil doesn't seem to be working. I'm doing

PHP Code:

echo("This.hatImage = " @ this.hatImage);

Is what I have right now in the weapon npc.

PHP Code:

function onActionserverside(){
  if (params[0] == "place") {
//    temp.npc = putnpc2(player.x, player.y, "join(\"hat\");");

//    with(temp.npc) {
//    temp.hatImage = "3";

//    }  
temp.npc = putnpc2(player.x, player.y, Null);
npc.hatImage = "3";
npc.join("hat");  

  }
} 


Is what I have right now in the class npc.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  setshape(1, 32, 32);
  echo(this.hatimage);

}

You're using "this.hatImage" when placing it and "this.hatimage" in the class. Capitalization counts!

That's not the main echo i was using, but I fixed it and still no good.

Sorry for the double post.

Are this. variables the same serverside and clientside? Or do they lose scope. I do have it echoing the correct thing on serverside, but the clientside still isn't working. Do I need a trigger client in the class?

They're different clientside so yes you will need to trigger, or use attributes.

Alright, Thanks. I think I just got it working.
