Scripted ani+show ani destroy itself..

[JkWhoSaysNi]

ah! You're right. It's being created serverside but destroyed clientside. I'll try destroying it serverside and see if it fixes it.

Edit: Thanks! That seems to have been my problem

I'd recommend something like

function onCreated()
{
  setTimer(5);
}
function onTimeout()
{
  this.destroy();
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  Yourclientsidepart...
}

but sometimes they randomly appear around inside levels or on gmaps, like they
have just been hided or something.. anyone know how to destroy them (removing them from the level or something)?

Anyone can help me?

Make the damage display a player.attribute. Remove the attribute once it's been used.

Hmm, could you explain? :] I usually don't use player.attr for showing ganises :o
No experience at that area, the ganises with player.attrs :]

Sorry for the long reply. I had to chase six youths who have just thrown a snowball at my house. I did it back to theirs!

function onActionclientside(curOption, curMessage)
{
  if (temp.curOption == "addAttr")
  {
    this.attrSize.add(temp.curMessage);
    this.onTimeout();
  }
}
function onTimeout()
{
  if (this.doCount > 0)
  {
    this.doCount -= 0.05;
    if (this.doCount <= 0)
    {
      this.attrSize.delete(0);
      this.doCount = 0;
    }
    setTimer(0.05);
    return true;
  }
  if (this.attrSize.size() > 0)
  {
    player.attr[3] = "myGani," @ this.attrSize[0];
    this.doCount = 5; //Alter this to how long the display lasts
    setTimer(0.05);
  }
}

Maybe something like this?

Hmm, can you explain what it does?
Still not getting the player.attr[] stuff :[

Got any easier examples?

Sure

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  player.attr[3] = "bombermad_bomb.gani";
}

Would make the bombermad gani display over your graal character. Well, if you were to have that gani that is.

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  if (player.chat == ":setAttr")
  {
    temp.curAttr = player.chat.substring(8, 1);
    temp.curGani = player.chat.substring(9).trim();
    player.( @ "attr[" @ temp.curAttr @ "]") = (temp.curGani.ends(".gani")? temp.curGani: temp.curGani @ ".gani");
  }
}

:setAttr 3 myGani.gani
choose a gani from inside of your graal folder, which is a solid object for example.

Edit: I'll write a few documents explaining the advantages to using player attributes.

Got it to work Thanks (btw, the :setattr stuff didn't work, made it into tokenize and had obj.starts(), but didn't work, but first example did, thanks!)

hmm, just one more thing.. on my server some weapons are faster, so alot of flaot texts will come..
so must I use a new player.attr for each flaot text, or can I use an existing attr more ganises?

Hmmm on Kingdoms we do it so that on serverside we set some player.attr[] to the gani script which displays the hp loss / damage taken. In the gani script onPlayerEnters() it emits a particle with "emitter.continueafterdestroy = true;" so the particle is continuing to move even if the gani script is deleted or restarted. To get several effects using the same gani script there are probably two says:
1. make the gani script being restarted, this can be done by setting the attr[] to "" and then setting the value again (it should be sent again and restart the script if it's not a CONTINUOUS gani, although I have not tested this fully yet)
2. store the actual data that should be displayed into another attr[] and in the gani script check if that data is changed and display another text or effect, let the gani script check for new data until it is removed (by using a 0.05 seconds timeout or so)

Can you display text with emitters? If so, how then?

No ... that'd be weird.
Why would you want to do that?

I actualy you can display text with emitters ..

emitter.particle.text or emitter.particle.code
