getplayer

[Andor_GP1]

Ok say i have the account of a person set to the variable this.buddy. how would i take his chat string (#c) using getplayer and set it to the chat string of the npc.?

[BocoC]

First off. Is this a NPC Weapon or a serverside NPC?

[grim_squeaker_x]

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) message #c;

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

Should work.

[Andor_GP1]

serverside npc =p and grim that didn't work (i did change the timeout to .5[.1 won't wok serverside on p2p])0.o thanx anyway though

[Faheria_GP2]

...

.1 works for NPC-Server, it's .05 that don't work

[Andor_GP1]

i thought it was .1 that didn't o well =p either way it don't work.

[grim_squeaker_x]

Then try this:

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setstring this.buddytext,#c;

  message #s(this.buddytext);

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

And if that doesn't work I'm stumped.

[Andor_GP1]

nope... you be stumped just like me : / thanx anyway though!

grim, players dont message, they setplayerprop...

NPC Code:

---

if (initialized||timeout) {

  with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setplayerprop #c,#c;

  timeout=0.1;

}

---

that should work

[Andor_NPC-Admin1]

All that does is make this.buddy say what he was saying before...Essentially the same as if (playerenters) setlevel #L;, just a waste of processor power and bandwidth

[kp_p2p]

setlevel #L; causes an infinite loop and freezes graal.

[Andor_NPC-Admin1]

I think he means that both the #c 's have different causes.
The first #c is the npc chat, and the second is the player chat
so maybe it would need to be:

if (initialized||timeout) {
with (getplayer(#s(this.buddy))) setplayerprop #c(-1),#c(0);
timeout=0.1;
}

to seperate its different #c =)
