no, but it would allow a player to use his/her key options in F3

I'm not in favor of that currently. I'll probably implement a custom key assignment system on my server sometime in the future.

Yes, despite the small amount of controls the actions native to Graal (Grab, Attack, Use) they should be checked using the proper keydown functions.

fair enuff' if his going to make his own key assignment system, no?

Since keydown also applies to joystick support, no. There's no reason he can't add a button to open the F3 menu and set it to the Controls tab though or just modify that table altogether to include his extra features.

But we've drifted quite far off from what he actually wanted help with...

who uses joystick these days?
also, isn't it removed in v6?

and i would like a custom one instead as it could have a nicer graphic and more/better functions.

true'..


as far as i know, doing it tru projectile stuff and placing the bomb with putnpc, is the best way to do it.
did something similar but with arrow's landing on walls or on the player who got hit a long time ago, but not like a GK bow where you click and it would land there, more like a classic one'

Only have time for a small comment right now, but please remember that triggeractions are trusted implicitly; you have just created some functions where a malicious person could make any other player pick up or throw your bombs. Don't send the account as a parameter like that.

Also I assume it was just a typo but your onActionPlaced has an unfinished line.

[MrOmega]

Ok, how would I talk to the serverside of a class script? Where do you see a typo in onActionPlaced.

The problem occurs when you are including an arbitrary account as a parameter, so a malicious player could send the wrong account to do some screwy stuff. I guess the simplest way around that would be to stick with what you're doing but use 'actionplayer' serverside to get the account of the person doing the action instead of passing it as a parameter.

Where do you see a typo in onActionPlaced.

I was referring to:

PHP Code:

  temp.pl.client.carry =
  temp.pl.client.freeze = false; 


where your code implies you are trying to do

PHP Code:

  temp.pl.client.carry = temp.pl.client.freeze = false; 


while your formatting implies that these are supposed to be two distinct lines with one being unfinished. I'm not trying to do any stylistic criticism here but it just seemed a bit ambiguous to me.

[MrOmega]

Actionplayer it is.

Oh and that's just my styling, it can be chaotic to others but I can read it fast and good.

[salesman]

your styling annoys me almost as much as people who put spaces before punctuation !

[cbk1994]

PHP Code:

temp.pl = findPlayer( params[ 0]); 


Please do not do this. There's a misconception that you have to send the player's account in triggers. It's not true and is a huge security risk. You can access the player object directly here.

[LordSquirt]

I concur with what Christopher said.

[MrOmega]

Styling is mostly a matter of preference, the way I style is the best way I can read and quickly find issues with scripts. Scripts still run and function as intended. I am the only one reading my scripts on my server, no need to conform to how other people want to read it. But, if it's such and issue I'll just use /style next time I ask a flippin scripting question. Now, quit derailing the topic of this thread.
