Hidden NPCW Skipping

[zallus-k]

Does anyone know of a process to skip past nidden NPCWs in a menu system? I tried several times without luck. Oh, and in case it matters, the NPC only shows the current, previous, and next NPCWs in the list.

Jagen:
if(!startswith(-,#w(index)))
try somethin like that

[zallus-k]

How about I tried

NPC Code:

---

for(this.zix=0;startswith(-,#w(selectedweapon-this.zix));this.zix++){;}

selectedweapon=selectedweapon-(this.zix+1);

---

And it didn't work?

I really need this quickly, seeing as electricity to this laptop is running out. Please, does anyone know?

It doesnt work because the "-" is not in the weapons name...
I made a script long time ago that I had to use something like, I just saw that I usully didnt put images on the hidden weapons so I used "if(!startswith(-,#W(index)))", but I dunno if there is another way

I would say create a string array or a string list of acceptable or allowable NPCW names and check from there...just leave out the hidden weapons

keep a string or something with the weapon list in it (of the player)

NPC Code:

---

for (this.inc=0;this.inc<weaponscount;this.inc++) {

  if (!startswith(-,#w(this.inc))) {

    addstring player.weaponlist,#w(this.inc);

  }

}

I have pretty much lost all hope of figuring this out. Here's the code that I ended up with, try to figure it out if you can:

PHP Code:

function WeaponSelect() {
  if((keydown(9) && !inws) || (mousescreenx < 70 && mousescreeny < 70 && mousedown)) {
    disabledefmovement;
    sleep 0.2;
    setani idle,;
    set inws;
    setarray this.wlist,256;
    this.p=0;
    for (this.zfm=0;this.zfm<weaponscount;this.zfm++) {if (!startswith(-,#w(this.zfm))) this.wlist[this.p]==zfm;this.p++;}
  }
  if (inws) {
    for(this.pi=0;selectedweapon!=this.wlist[this.pi];this.pi++) {;}
    if(selectedweapon!=0)this.pi++;
    showimg 1032,wpn2.png,13,74;
    changeimgvis 1032,4;
    showimg 1033,#W,13+7,74+43;
    changeimgvis 1033,4;
    showimg 1036,@ - #w,13+7+32+4+5,74+43+7;
    changeimgvis 1036,4;
    if(selectedweapon > 0) {
      showimg 1034,#W(this.wlist[this.pi-1]),13+7,74+7;
      changeimgcolors 1034,1,1,1,0.99;
      changeimgvis 1034,4;
    }else{hideimg 1034;}
    if(selectedweapon < (weaponscount-1)) {
      showimg 1035,#W(this.wlist[this.pi+1]),13+7,74+79;
      changeimgcolors 1035,1,1,1,0.99;
      changeimgvis 1035,4;
    }else{hideimg 1035;}
    if((keydown(5) || keydown(9)) || ((mousescreenx > 52 || mousescreeny > 185) && mousedown)) {
      hideimg 1032;
      hideimg 1033;
      hideimg 1034;
      hideimg 1035;
      hideimg 1036;
      enabledefmovement;
      unset inws;
      sleep 0.2;
    }
    if((keydown(0) || keydown(1)) || (mousescreenx > 20 && mousescreeny > 81 && mousescreenx < 52 && mousescreeny < 113 && mousedown)) {
      for(this.zix=0;startswith(-,#w(selectedweapon-this.zix));this.zix++){;}
      selectedweapon=selectedweapon-(this.zix+1);
      sleep 0.1;
    }
    if((keydown(2) || keydown(3)) || (mousescreenx > 20 && mousescreeny > 153 && mousescreenx < 52 && mousescreeny < 185 && mousedown)) {
      if(startswith(-,#w(selectedweapon+1))) {
        selectedweapon=selectedweapon+2;
      }else{
        selectedweapon=selectedweapon+1;
      }
      sleep 0.1;
    }

  }
}

make sure all your weapons use a clear img & just check for that img on the weapon.... ie make them use null.png & do
if(!strequals(#W,null.png)){
//do stuff here
}
