Lame Questions, of a Lamer Guy, who knows nothing about NPC-Servers.

LOL, like you can make scripts that will READ to/from an NPC. Like you can do:

NPC Code:

---

with (getnpc(Control-NPC))

{ setstring this.string,#s(client.string);}

---

that would read the control-npc and set a this.string from the player. The Control-NPC is VITAL in most cases... you need it to be able to do things and such. It replaces server.strings for the most part, and you can do MANY things with it. Just because no on is in the level, should the timer stop?? So what if the playercount on the server was 0, should the timer not continue?/ x.X

What does [i] do? It's used very often, but I don't quite understand it's purpose..

Accessing the i. elementh of an array.
So allplayers[2] would give you the 3. player (count starts at zero), allplayers[i] gives you a player depending on the current value of the variable i.

I just relized how hard it whould be to have this all scripted out making ur own game and all it must have took at least over 20 months for scripting bombs joltbombs everything superbombs puting all the GFX together i wonder how long it did take them all.............

LOL, you can't just put allplayers[i] because I would have no value!

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

{ for (i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++)

   { with (allplayers[i])

      { sendpm Hello;}

    }

}

What would be more laggier NPC server or without one?

[KuJi2002]

Isnt the scripts of a npc server laggy?
I know some are

[KuJi2002]

When i scripted about 1 1/2years ago i hated the Mp3/Mid players they had when u change the # into 1.mp3 or 1.mid so i made something better so u can just say play name.mid
then about a year ago i just fixed it up and now it doesnt cause that much lag It use to take about 3 minutes for it to play the song
i added tokenize to it and it sorta did it a lil quicker then i took out the flags and just did
if (startswith(play,#c)) {
tokenize #c;
if (strequals(#t(2),.mid)) {
play #t(1).mid
}
if (strequals(#t(2),.mp3)) {
play #t(1).mp3
}
}
