Dead Players

[xAndrewx]

When a player dies their body acts as a 'block'

Is there any way to disable a dead person from blocking? We use onwall / onwall2 to detect (custom movement)

I know there is a way around this using 'noplayerkilling()' but there is no toggle to 'enableplayerkilling()'

thanks

If you're using a custom movement, couldn't you run a check to see if the player's ani is "dead" (or whatever your death ani is :3) so they aren't taken into account when you're running your wall check?

no because onwall and onwall2 returns true / false... lol

I don't understand. If you're trying to stop a dead body from blocking, just run a check to see if a player's in the position you're checking and if there's a dead player there just skip the onwall check.

then players would be able to glitch through blocking npcs/walls

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChanges(pl) {
  if (pl.ani.name == "dead") pl.isblocking = false;
}

Does that work @ Dusty?


Script help for 'isblocking':
TServerNPC.isblocking - boolean
TServerNPC.isblockingprojectiles - boolean

It should, it's one of those undocumented v6 things:

But it's clientside only, so you basically either have to loop through all the players clientside and change their blocking status, or use a function(like onPlayerChanges).

However onPlayerChanges() is only called when the player's head changes, or they enter the screen buffer. I'm trying to get Stefan to add onPlayerTouchsPlayer(playerobj) so there's a more reliable way of updating a player's blocking status.

Interesting, thanks.

I assume since it's boolean you can toggle

It's documented in my version (start with -listscriptfuntions)
TServerPlayer.isblocking - makes the player blocking or non-blocking on the current client only

There can also be other ways to handle this:
- on server-side set the player classic health to zero while the player is dead (player.hp/hearts)
- on client-side you can use TServerLevel.isnopkzone = true/false, you can set this before using onwall and unsetting afterwards

Being documented in your version doesn't make it documented Just means you're the only one who actually has that particular documentation to access. Would be great if others could access this sometime *nudge nudge*

Yay!! I'll try it later

[xAndrewx]

Hmmm when I set the players HP to 0 it made them walk through, however on Era iOS it still showed the 'End' sign and it kinda crashed my client

[xAndrewx]

Any ideas

Don't use the hearts system.
