showpoly?

[cbk1994]

I can't figure out what's wrong with this. Graal bible says the syntax is correct, I haven't found anything searching here. Please help

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeOut() {
temp.array = {player.x,player.y,mousex,mousey};
showpoly(200,temp.array);
changeimgvis(200,1);
setTimer(0.05);
} 


Thanks

Im not sure of the problem either, but, try either of these two.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeOut() {
temp.polyarray = {player.x,player.y,mousex,mousey};
showpoly(200,temp.polyarray);
changeimgvis(200,1);
setTimer(0.05);
} 


Or..

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeOut() {
temp.polyarray = {{player.x,player.y,mousex,mousey}};
showpoly(200,temp.polyarray[0]);
changeimgvis(200,1);
setTimer(0.05);
} 


Meh, dunno.

I changed it to

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
if (params[0] == "test") {
echo(params);
}
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeOut() {
temp.polyarray = {{player.x,player.y,mousex,mousey}};
triggeraction(0,0,"serverside",name,"test",temp.polyarray[0]);
showpoly(200,temp.polyarray[0]);
changeimgvis(200,1);
setTimer(2);
} 


Which returned in RC:

PHP Code:

test,"21.5,31,22.1875,54.0625" 


Help please?
It looks like the problem is the showpoly.
It's not serverside, is it? Maybe its a problem with V4.1?
But then how does GK do it?

You need 8 parts for showpoly (9 including img id).

PHP Code:

showpoly(4000,{0,0,screenwidth,0,screenwidth,screenheight,0,screenheight}); 


Takes up the whole screen. You need to give an x and y for each seperate corner (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).

I think it's something like, if the screen is like this

x1y1...............................x2y2
...........................................
x4y4...............................x3y3


showpoly(ID,{x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4});

Don't be silly.

There's no area to fill, so, no poly (a line has no area).

PHP Code:

temp.array = {player.x,player.y,mousex,mousey,mousex,mousey+1/16}; 


fixes the problem.

Probably repeating what someone else said.

Polys with an area of 0 won't show, which makes the showing of lines impossible.

But he's using showpoly... unless there are 2 methods of using it.

It doesn't always have to be a quadrilateral, though. A polygon can have 3+ sides.

[Omini]

Oh yeah. I just got used to using poly as a 4 point thing. Silly me.

[Angel_Light]

i know a 1 sided polygon :O

Yes, Stefan changed the showpoly code (again).
This happened before in v3, and it was fixed on the next release.
Hopefully he reverts the code again, but for now, no 0-volume polies.
In order to make lines, make a box out of the two points, but at +1/8 to the second set. That should solve your problem.
