Need help

What am i doing wrong???im trying to make it if a restraunt member says /sub a sub will appear and the other player can touch the sub and it will dissapear.

NPC Code:



// Food Script created by ...

if(created){

  setstring this.foodtype,sub; }



if(playerchats&&strequals(#c,/#s(this.foodtype))){

  putnpc2 playerx+.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+1+vecy(player  dir)*2,{

    if(created){

      setimg sub.png;

    }

    if(playertouchsme){

      playerhearts=playerfullhearts;

    }

  }

}

Well, one obvious thing is that the player has to say /#s(this.foodtype) before the NPC even tries to put down an NPC.

It irritates me that nobody bothers trying to debug their work before they go running to the forums for help.

Posting just what it does wrong would be beneficial. For example, does the NPC not lay down, or does it not disappear, or what?

(I obviously can see that you have no destroy; after the playerhearts=playerfullhearts;, but that's beside the point. It's the principle of the thing.)

I hope you are not saying that Graal does not interpolate the string before comparing the two, because it does.

I would assume that if it checks if the chat string equalled /#s(this.foodtype) then it would expect that exact text to be input.

It interpolates it. Try it out for yourself if you do not believe me.

(Otherwise, how could it interpolate #c to your chat text?

)

Ah I see.

missing a ; at the end of the second to the last line.. putnpc2 is still a command, don't hate because it uses { }'s ;D

putnpc2 doesnt work offline, if thats where you trying it.
