well there is commands for finding the index of the current thing (like the current npc that is doing the script)...

otherwise usually people do like loops to effect like all the npcs/players..

or you can do like vars with npcs like level.blah = blah

and make it equil the other npcs index...

humm I think I am sounding kinda confuzing but I hope you understand me

What would be neato would be if we could
players[index].nonsystemvarname = 10;
cause that would simplify alot of things

Ok.

then it would be soooo much easier to get other player data

Doesn't testnpc, and testplayer, and the other test commands return the value of the index?

that works if you know the x and y of the npc

If I'm not mistaken, theres no difference between id, and index..But because of the way he said it, I'm not quite sure...

ownerofbabylon · #16 10-20-2001, 08:40 PM

im just wondering what id and index are used for. I have a basic idea but arent there like special ones for special NPCs? like 0 is the current NPC and in some command if its over like 250 then something is different...

You use indexes to tell the difference between npcs/players/images/baddies in a level. Say there was like 20 baddies in a level for one of those lame quests, you couldn't just do baddy.x could you? How would you know which baddy you'd be affecting? (Oh, and its compus, not baddy, in real gscript, by the way..) You use compus[0].x to find the x of the first baddy, compus[1].x to find the x of the second baddy, and so forth...Did I explain that well enough for you?

ownerofbabylon · #18 10-20-2001, 11:43 PM

yup accept how are they assigned? the first COMPUS you lay down will be 0 and the next is 1?

Umm...I'm not to sure about that, it's the first compus graal processes gets 0, the next gets 1, etc...I'm not sure the order it recognizes them in...But take players as a different example, if the script is running clientside, the player running the script is always 0 (or is that just with weapons? someone correct me..), and the players after that are assigned indexes as they enter, so the first player in would be 1 (0, if I was wrong about the non-weapon npc's), the next would be 2 (1, same reason), etc..

ownerofbabylon · #20 10-21-2001, 12:31 AM

wow so you could actually make a script happen to like the 3 person to enter the room?

Yea, but you don't need indexes to do that, just:

if (playerenters) {
this.count++;
if (this.count==3) {
this.count = 0;
playerrupees += 5;
}
}

That'll give 5g to every 3rd person to walk into the level

each player has a unique server id

but the index is only for the players on the current level

that would only work if the same player entered the level 3 times
