servrside tilelayers issue

[MrOmega]

So, I'm adjusting tiles serverside and if the layer I choose is 0, it works fine, but if it's >0 it doesn't seem to do anything. Is they're something I'm doing wrong? This works fine clientside, except it doesn't update the tiles for all players.

params are
{ action, layer, arrayTiles, x, y, w, h}

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside()
{

  if ( params[ 0] == "PlaceTiles")
  {

    for ( temp.a = 0; temp.a < params[ 6]; temp.a ++;)
    {
    
      for ( temp.b = 0; temp.b < params[ 5]; temp.b ++;)
      {
      
        findLevel( player.level).tilelayers[ params[ 1]].tiles[( params[ 3] + temp.b) % 64, ( params[ 4] + temp.a) % 64] = params[ 2][ temp.c]; 
        temp.c ++;
    
      }
    }
    
    findLevel( player.level).tilelayers[ params[ 1]].updateBoard2( params[ 3], params[ 4], params[ 5], params[ 6]);
 
  }
} 


e. Also, does anyone know why polygons wont draw in an external window?

So I'm guessing this is some kinda of gmap bug, works fine in individual levels and clientside on gmaps, just not serverside.

what does your triggeraction/server look like?

You can use player.level instead of findlevel().

player.level is the level object they're in.
player.level.name is the string name. I.e: level.nw

I also remember a recent post by ffcmike saying findlevel was not working for specific/individual levels on GMAPs anymore.

It's not, I was having issues with this the other night.

If the level is in a GMAP and you try to findlevel it, will get an empty string returned.

A GMAP is still a TServerLevel object, so I think you just misread what I said. I was just pointing out that he doesn't need to use findlevel at all.

Code:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  with (findplayer("fowlplay4")) {
    echo("Level Type: " @ player.level.objecttype());
    echo("Level Name: " @ player.level.name);
    echo("GMAP Level: " @ player.level.getmappartfile(player.x, player.y));
    echo("GMAP Level Type: " @ findlevel(player.level.getmappartfile(player.x, player.y)).objecttype());
  }
}

@Omega: Check if it's working in the top-left corner of your GMAP, and if it is try removing the '% 64' because according to the output above you're finding the GMAP level as a whole not the specific level.

still on a gmap, it wont allow you to do changes tiles, even without findLevel()

I always test in the top left of a gmap, just a habit, also this is on layers above zero, layer zero I can change just fine

@Andrew

PHP Code:

triggerServer( "gui", name, "PlaceTiles", Tile_Editor_Layer.text, this.tileData, findImg( 200).x, findImg( 200).y, (( this.pW - this.pX) / 16), (( this.pH - this.pY) / 16)); 


e. upon further investigation, tried echo the tiles on layer[ 1] before I changed them and it is NULL, when it should be 1248
Checking the type on player.level.tilelayers is 3, and tilelayers[ 0] is 2, but on player.level.tileslayers[ 1] is -1, on a single level both layers 0 and 1 type is 2

So yes, this is a Gmap bug. On A gmap a server cant read tiles above layer zero.
