triggeraction

[xAndrewx]

Triggeraction only seems to work if any object has a visible kind of image/gani in the place. (Complicated- I know)

If you make a script with an image of any color which is 5x5 pixels, it won't detect the npc if it has a setshape of 32x32.

It's depending on the image pixels (as far as I am aware of) instead of the setshape.

Can you please investigate. thank you

I don't think thats true?

I've done a triggeraction with npcs that have a setshape, but no image...

Edit: Yep, checked it.

I have a npc that has an image that is 5x5, but the trigger action still works.

Script:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  setimg("jazz_dot.png");
  this.setshape(1, 32, 32);
}
function onActionDooblyDoo() {
  this.chat = "Success!";
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  triggeraction(this.x+.5, this.y+.5, "DooblyDoo", nil);
} 


Check attachment for image. :P

You can also do

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.level.tapThis = this;
}

function onPow() {
  this.chat = "ouch!";
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  triggerServer("npc", "TriggerControl", "Trigger", this.level.name, "tapThis", "Pow");
} 


and then in an NPC TriggerControl

PHP Code:

function onActionTrigger(levelName, npcName, command) {
  findLevel(levelName).(@ npcName).trigger(command);
} 


Though you'd want to add some security features. Usually something like this is preferable since you never know if a trigger will be received when using x/y.

That's a good idea =o


I made an NPC with an image / setshape, once I sent the triggeraction it found it the first time, I changed the image to "no-shield.png" (an image with nothing in it) and I tried to send the triggeraction again and it wouldn't work.
I've fixed the problem now by using showimg() (thanks to salesman) but this needs to be fixed, I assumed it was because of this.
