setlevel

How come setlevel doesn't work properly on the NPC server?

Andor_GP1 · #2 01-02-2002, 07:21 AM

Well, if you trying to do it under a //#CLIENTSIDE NPC thats your problem.

Use setlevel2, and use it serverside.

Well then how do you do a warp ring?
if (weaponfired) has to be clientside, but setlevel / setlevel2 has to be serverside!

mikepg · #5 01-05-2002, 09:53 AM

trigger some kind of flag maybe?

like

if (playertouchsme) {toweapons test; timeout = .1;
}
if (timeout) {
if (client.warp=1) {
client.warp=0;
setlevel2 level,x,y;
}
timeout = .1;
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (weaponfired) {
client.warp=1;
}

1. setlevel can't be serverside (no NPC-Server commad)
2. Why setlevel2 has to be serverside? Should work clientside too

The right thing to do it would be

NPC Code:



if (actionserverside) {

  setlevel2 level,x,y;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weaponname;

}

TDO ... *is disappointed* ... setlevel2 must be serverside because the server cannot allow players warping clientside to whereever they want...

Yes! Thanks Loriel that does work...I had tried that before but I couldn't figure it out.

Hehe, actually it's very spiffy to work on the same NPC Server as Stefan does.

.........wouldnt that trigger EVERYONE'S ring? Just curious, im not sure, but it DOES look like it would.

mikepg · #12 01-06-2002, 05:20 AM

If you run a p2p world that's impossible...
