Flag problems?

falco10291029 · #1 10-31-2004, 04:51 AM

Ok, here's my problem, there is osbviously something wrong with how i set up the flag in the following script, but i cant figure out what (I know it's the flag because i ran several tests to check for the problem). It only does this once, even if the player has a lot of the string, acting like i have it set as if, instead of while. changing it to a for loop didnt help either.

NPC Code:





while (strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))>=1) {

freezeplayer .75;

setcharani ek_mine,;

setstring clientr.#t(1)dust,#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)du  st))+1);

setstring clientr.#t(1),#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))-1);

message #s(clientr.#t(1));

sleep .75;

setcharani idle,;

}

I have tried figuring it out myself, and i only put in part of the script, so i dont expect this thread to be closed/deleted before i solve this prob.

I suggest a timeout instead of while
is there anything using tokenize so #t(1) works?

A timeout will not work in the script i have (i dont feel like posting the whole thing, just trust me), and yes, i am not stupid, it does tokenize it beforehand.

Try putting the tokenize in the while loop and keep it wherever it is now too.

1. That's not a flag, it's a string.

2. clientr. strings can only be set SERVERSIDE.

3. I do not think a 'while' loop is the best thing to do here. But don't kill me if I'm wrong, but from what I see, other things might be better.

I looked at the whole script and it is serverside.

Is a player active in the serverside script?

Yeah i tried a timeout loop but it doesnt even set the timeout if it;s serverside for some reason which is crap.

I don't know what timeout you used, but you cant have anything less than .1 for a serverside timeout.

It's against the rules to post full code to solve someone's problem, not just post full code...

I'm sure it would, regardless of how much you'd need to change.

try taking out all of that unnecessary code first then find the problem.

PHP Code:


			
while (strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))>=1) {

  setstring clientr.#t(1),#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))-1); 

  message clientr.#t(1) = #s(clientr.#t(1));

  sleep .75;

}

PHP Code:


			
if (playerchats) {

  tokenize #c;

  setstring test#t(0),5;

  timeout = .1;

}

if (timeout) {

  if (strtofloat(#s(test#t(0)))>=1) {

    setstring test#t(0),#v(strtofloat(test#t(0))-1);

    message test#t(0) = #s(test#t(0));

  }

  timeout = .1;

}

I just tried using a timeout, it works fine offline meaning it's an online problem.. here's the new code:

PHP Code:


			
if (playerchats&&startswith(crush,#c)) {

  tokenize #c;

  if (strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))>0) {

    playerx=x;

    playery=y+5;

    playerdir=0;

    timeout=1;

  } else {

    insertstring client.messages,0,You don't have any #t(1) gems.;

  }

}

if (timeout) {

  setcharani idle,;

  freezeplayer 1;

  setcharani ek_mine,;

  setstring clientr.#t(1)dust,#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)dust))+1);

  setstring clientr.#t(1),#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))-1);

  setplayerprop #c,#s(clientr.#t(1));

  if (strtofloat(#s(clientr.#t(1)))<=0) {

    setcharani idle,;

    message Your crushing is completed;

  }

  else  {

    timeout=1;

  }

}
