on-off defnpc for the ****s

prozac424242 · #1 10-08-2002, 07:39 AM

Heres one for you newbie scripters who want to make
an npc that you can press D once for "on" mode, and fire again
to set in "off" mode.

IMPORTANT
close graal
Save as: graal/levels/npcs/defnpcOnOffWeapon.txt
then open graal and go to Predefined npcs.

Try putting for npc-action, shootarrow playerdir

NPC Code:



// NPC made by Prozac

//#COMMENTS Weapon with on and off mode

//#EDIT weapon_name item

//#EDIT to-get-this playertouchsme

//#EDIT npc-action 



if (created) 

{setimg bomb.png; show;}



//#CLIENTSIDE

if (to-get-this)

  {toweapons weapon_name; this.on=0;}



//on and off part when pressing D  

if (weaponfired && this.on==0)

  {this.on=1; sleep .2; timeout=.05;}

if (weaponfired && this.on==1)

  {this.on=0; sleep .2;}



if (timeout && this.on==1)

{

//put your npc actions here



npc-action



timeout=.05;

}

and its OK that this is on this forum becasue
the script provided there does not do anything practical
as it its .. its a form, a mold, for your imagination to pour into!

its ok proz, you can post whole scripts if people didnt ask for it.

inefficent, just do
if(weaponfired){
this.on=abs(this.on-1);
if(this.on == 1){
stuff;
}else stuff;
}

thx!!!!!!

I'd just do simple flags
if (weaponfired&&!on) {
set on;
}else unset on;
if (on) {
whatever;
}

The problem with this is that if another NPC set "on," then it would also trigger this NPC to turn on. Prozac's is for the specific NPC.

Is that script even needed?
i made a good one b4

here

NPC Code:



// NPC made by KuJi

//#COMMENTS Clothes Hanger

//#EDIT img cloats2.png

//#EDIT body body.png

//#EDIT sword sword1.png

//#EDIT shield shield1.png

//#EDIT head head1.png

//#EDIT skin black

//#EDIT coat black

//#EDIT sleeves black

//#EDIT shoes black

//#EDIT belt black

if (created) {setimg img;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playertouchsme) {

  setplayerprop#8,body;

  setplayerprop#1,sword;

  setplayerprop#2,shield;

  setplayerprop#3,head;

  setplayerprop#C0,skin;

  setplayerprop#C1,coat;

  setplayerprop#C2,sleeves;

  setplayerprop#C3,shoes;

  setplayerprop#C3,belt;

}

Put this in your graal folder
levels/npcs
name it as defnpcClothes.txt

I usually do a this.var, or if I'm in the mood, I'll use like a specific flag, not on and !on, but like qmenu and other related items.

would be nice if we could do bitwise operators like this.on = ~this.on or something. we could just toggle it on and off. But then we'd probably need special binary variables or something. *shrugs*

Oh my, now I feel kind of silly. I too use this.var = abs(this.var-1);

Loriel · #11 10-09-2002, 06:42 PM

this.on = vecx(this.on+1)*(-1);

lol

this.on = abs(this.on-.5-.3-.2);

KuJi2002 · #13 10-10-2002, 05:13 AM

i do the following for a clothes changing npc or something
this.clotheson=1;
this.on=1;
set clotheson;
unset clotheson;
etc...

why do people use flags =/ I can honestly say I havent use a flag in at least a year, I find them 'outdated' and inefficent, strings are so much better
