I only meant if 'he' wanted to do it, and no one else would see it, he can go ahead.. Not saying everyone in general should do it lol.. I took the time in changing Stefans 2001 baddy script styling it correctly. D:

If I didn't I don't think I'd ever have figured out what it was doing..
But I agree.. It is kind of like doing a turn single at a turn or stop sign even if there is no one else there to see.. Still a good habit to keep/practice..

PHP Code:

echo(1 == 0); // echoes false
echo("a" == "a"); // echoes true
echo((5 + 2) == 7); // echoes true 


Oh I see.. So would this be a good thing inside a class / function for ... w/e the function might do.. assuming the point is to be true or false... Also, can you return more then one thing, for instance maybe X and Y? or would you have to return X and Y in an array with X and Y in it?

I usually do this. variables so they work through the whole script D: and have not made any real functions that needed to be in classes and used everywhere, but I would like to make a bush system.. and other things..

One more thing... xD returns do not return temp. variables? I've had a problem with this and had to make the temp. a this. to pass it back x.x;

Not sure what you're asking.

You can only return one value. Use arrays for returning multiple.

Functions return values, not variables. You can assign them to whatever variable you want to.

For instance, I guess function onPlayerGrabs(){ }
could be made a class that could return true and make the if statement work..

if (onPlayerGrabs()){} "I think could work assuming it is joined to the class"
could return true or false.. I don't know how it works really...

Oh I see.. thanks ^.^;
In the future could they do it with commas to add more, or is there no point?

I've had a function go through all players, and didn't accept externals.
I had it as:
variable
temp.count = 0;

a lot of script...

return temp.count
and
return count

which kept becoming 0 or null... in the end I set it to this.count = temp.count and it finally worked with:

return this.count

I couldn't get it to pass the temp. variable D:

That would be an event, not a statement. GS2 is event-based, so you do things after an event happens, unlike GS1 where you use if-statements for events, lol.

There is no reason to, arrays make more sense.

Do you have the script? You must have been doing something else wrong.

I don't know D: It was an example I got a while ago from Thor, I was going to make a movement system like he did but I didn't quite understand it. I asked and he said functions can give true and false and be used in statements..

PHP Code:

if(movement.isAttemptingMove()){
  setani("walk");
  return;
}

I don't offhand but I think it was either on twinnys page or somewhere on the forum.. I think I can find it. I was having the problem with getting more playercount than there were on the actual server.. found something to overcome it, but it still listed RC's lol


-EDIT-
Nevermind, I'm still using it ^.^;

PHP Code:

function getPlayerCount(){
  temp.count = 0;
    for (temp.pl: allplayers ){
      temp.count += (! pl.isExternal );    
    }
 this.count = count;
 return this.count;
} 


if I did this.chat = count; or temp.count inside the function it would give back the correct number.

if I did this.chat = count; or temp.count outside the function it would give back the 0 or null. "I mean inside the same statement / function it is being called in"

Eventually I kept it and settled for this. but now that I think about it, this. isn't really returning because it's global in the script clientside, isn't it? lmao


>.> Further clarification..

PHP Code:

function onWa****(){
  getPlayerCount();
  for(i=0;i<allplayers.size();i++){
    triggeraction(x,y,"door",allplayers[i]);
    sleep(.1);
  }
}
function getPlayerCount(){
  temp.count = 0;
    for (temp.pl: allplayers ){
      temp.count += (! pl.isExternal );    
    }
 this.count = count;
 return this.count;
}
