Okay, when a player enters, tokenize all the accounts, then go through a for loop, seeing if the player's account is equal to any of the tokens. If the account matches one, set a variable. If the variable has not changed at the end, warp the player out.

so...

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

tokenize #a;

}

for (#a) {

}

thanks to the new string arrays. tokinization is not neccisary.. just do

if(lindex(#a,list) != -1)

-1 being the value it returns if your account isn't in the array.

[aesquivel]

how do i add ppl to the list??

[Python523]

setstring this.stringname,account1,account2,account3,ect;
the list is the string name, in this case this.stringname

[Falcor]

if your list is "this.stringname" then you would substitute "list" with "this.stringname"
be careful when using string array. lists don't need #s() but strings do.

okay now im kinda even more confused well sorta

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

if(lindex(#a,list) != -1) {

setlevel2 onlinestartlocal.graal,30,30;

}

}

if (playerchats) {

if (startswith(Add,??) {

setstring this.stringname,account1,account2,account3,ect; 

}

}

I will not hand you the solution on a silver platter but here is your problems:

1.

NPC Code:

---

if(lindexof(#a,list) != -1) {

---

and list is your list? I think not. You need to specify your list as this.stringname
please don't take things THIS literally. Copy-paste doesn't work when we are just explaining the commands, not giving you a script. Our examples are suppliments to the informations in commands.rtf. Please get scripting background before asking advanced questions.

2.

NPC Code:

---

if (startswith(Add,??) {

---

Hate to break it to you but "??" will never start with "Add", not even if you think happy thoughts and get pixie dust.

3.

NPC Code:

---

setstring this.stringname,account1,account2,account3,ect; 

---

again, copy paste isn't what we want you to do. Figure out the commands. we are litterally saying

setstring THE_STRING_NAME_YOU_WANT_PLEASE_PUT_HERE,ACCOUNT #1,ETC.

you must interperate that as "Oh. maybe i should substitute this literal things with acual code... so
setstring this.accounts,aesquivel,Falcor,Stefan,Man_from_mar s;
or whatever the accounts you want to be in the string.
