weapons and events

Dach · #1 03-16-2003, 01:14 AM

for some reason when I use a weapon that uses events offline, it wont work when I go into the editor and load a level without the weapon (to re-add it to the weapons).

NPC Code:



// NPC made by Chad (VIP)

if (created&&!isweapon) {

  toweapons testweapon;

  destroy;

}

if (keypressed) {

  setplayerprop #c,Key!!;

}

put that into a level, load it, then go into the editor and load a different level, now it doesn't work!? They'll start working again if they are called with weaponfired, but this is really annoying and not all my weapons can be called that way...

It should be Clientside if you are using it on a NPC-Server, and use addweapon and not to weapons.

Why would you put destroy; after toweapons?

To destroy the NPC.

But that also destroys the weapon unless he uses addweapon

I don't make stuff online, so I'm not using npc-server, nor do I even know it well enough to even worry about it... If anyone wants to test this online, be my guest, try to see if you can get the problem to actually occur though, otherwise you're simply wasting time

NPC Code:

if (created&&!isweapon)

it won't destroy when it's a weapon

Oh yes, I noticed that too. Online it was even worse on Classic because sometimes the system scripts didn't work or weapons didn't initialize correctly. But I thought that was fixed in v2.16 rev2:

- weapons are initialized correctly on classic servers

But maybe it was not fixed for the offline mode. I remember now that when you look in the debugger before you fire the weapon it's even empty.

scripts end after toweapons, so that destroy; is just taking up space. =_=

Oh yeah. And keypressed is clientside only, isn't it? So this'd have to be clientside...if that command works on nonNPCServers at all, and I'm not convinced it does...
