updateboard question - Page 2

You can check out the "object" class in my Atlantis dump for something like this. I switch out tiles both on the serverside and clientside there to get a smoother experience. It's a bit more restrictive (bushes/stones/... sitting on top of the tiles) and therefore easier to control than your shovel stuff, though, but maybe it'll give you a few ideas. One thing to keep in mind: when using updateboard(), update a region larger than 2 by 2, no matter how many tiles you actually changed. Stefan added some "optimization" to the server at some point that can really **** up your tile handling when you're updating a 2 by 2 region.

I think I did read that he made some optimizations. And he made a command on bush's specifically and being able to regrow them via script or something if I am not mistaken? However on a gmap, how do the x/y work for update board? Are they 0 to 64 or are they 0 to 64 * levels?

Not sure. I'm just using this.x and this.y in Atlantis' "object" class. Can't remember if that's the global or local coordinates.

use map coordinates

would be interesting to see your work around

who's workaround? I figure I'm gonna need to check tiles, and npc's.. this is going to be fun.

scriptless · #26 11-03-2014, 04:00 AM

Okay, so this is giving me problems... more specifically its making npc's a good distance away say "Hit".. It's in the weapon npc... cx/cy are the cordinate x and y that I want to check at.. (top left of the hole dug).. Should be 2x2 tiles. But this seems to affect npc's further away.

PHP Code:


			
  for(temp.n : findareanpcs(this.cx, this.cy, this.cx + 1, this.cy + 1)){
    temp.n.chat = "Hit!";
  }

It's giving it a huge gap between the npc I dug and the ones around it... :x

Edit:

Okay, sorry I guess thats x/y/w/h I needed to just supply 2,2 for the width,height... for some reason I was entering ending x/y cords. My bad, sorry.

However, gralats have not been showing for me on this server or my personal dev server unless I first logon UN... anyone know why this is? I would have thought a newly bought server would be working, is it missing some file?

looking at the original script:

  for ( this.iy = 0; this.iy < 2; this.iy ++ ) {

    for ( this.ix = 0; this.ix < 2; this.ix ++ ) {

      this.checkX = this.x+this.ix;

      this.checkY = this.y+this.iy;

      tiles[this.checkX, this.checkY] = this.replaceTiles[this.ix+this.iy*2];

    }

  }

  updateboard(this.x,this.y,2,2);

}

is there still not a break; for when 4 grass tiles have been detected on clientside?

if not then it could be triggering to the server up to 4 times and ultimately checking a larger region on serverside than necessary

Utilize f2 to see if there is any missing files

xXziroXx · #29 11-03-2014, 09:27 AM

findareanpcs(x, y) returns a list of npc id's, not a list of a TServerNPC objects.

Sorry, I should have posted whole script so far.. Instead of using breaks, I used return's from different functions.

I didn't see anything in f2, I already checked. Plus I did "/find *gralat*" and it only found the gani. So I uploaded gralats.png but it still didn't work.
