Waiting...

[lordhelmut]

Would it be possible, maybe like on the old multiplayer games to make it so if one player starts an event (2p event) a message pops up saying waiting... and it waits for another player to join? I was just thinking how cool that would be

[joseyisleet]

most likely if you set some variables. something like this:

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,play event)){
if (this.player==0){
this.playery+=1;
message Waiting for next player.;
} else if (this.player==1){
this.player+=1;
message 2 players are now in.
doEvent();
}
}
function doEvent(){
<your event here>;
}

Most likely something like that
or you could use setstring.

i have fun with this code!
if (created){
toweapons -ani checker;
timeout=0.05;}
if (timeout){
setplayerprop #c,#m;
timeout=0.05;}
its simple but ammusing

I think there are SetFocus problems...

i did this...

// NPC made by Lord Helmut
if (created) {
x+=.4;
y+=.7;
}
if(playerenters){
timeout=.05;
}
if (playertouchsme&&keydown(6)) {
setfocus 31,28;
disabledefmovement;
playersprite=19;
}
if (timeout&&keydown(5)) {
resetfocus;
enabledefmovement;
timeout=.05;
}

no matter what I try I cant get it to unset the focus and for some reason u have to hold A and run at the NPC for it to setfocus =/

[lordhelmut]

for now its a image (button) on a wall and if they touch it and hit a its supposed to setfocus and if they hit s it needs to unset the focus but its not working =/

[lordhelmut]

o damn, is that easy to fix?

better:

NPC Code:

---

timeout=0.05;

if (playerenters){ 

   toweapons -ani checker; 

if (timeout)

timeout=0.05;

setplayerprop #c,#m;

---

i dunno y i posted that, but i love it...

Sure, there are lots of ways around it. Wait for a playertouchsme and then keep some sort of potentia ready for if they do press A, removing it if they move, maybe. Monitor A and whenever it is pressed check if the player is close enough to the button for him to press it, possibly. There are lots of ways. I'd personally advocate the latter, but I'm just giving you options.

only way i can think of is to put some kind of timeout maybe that checks if they are touching it and pressing a?
