Simple question

[Artificial_Sweetener]

Sorry uh.. I just need one simple command for a script i'm working on.. I'll delete this thread as soon as someone replies =)

Anyway, let me think of an example..

Just take like a light switch for an example, I need to figure out how to make it so if the player touches it once it will activate and if it touches it agian it will deactivate. I don't need this script exactly just the idea in general so I could finish up a script I'm working on.. Thanks alot

well, something like this would work, for database npc

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {

  setstring this.onoff,#v(abs(strtofloat(#s(this.onoff))-1));

}

---

then have it read the flag, and if its 1 then on, 0 = off

=D

Um could you explain it a bit?
So I could take it a part, understand how it works, and make it something else.. Please

well, since there is only two possible flags, on or off, i just use variables 0 and 1

take the current status of the light, lets say off (off=0) and then just take the absolute value of the status -1, so
0-1 = -1
|-1| = 1

turns from off (0), to on (1)

same way around
1-1 = 0
|0| = 0

turns from on (1), to off (0)

if (weaponfired)
