Hmm.. this is odd,
I'm reading rabid's StringVariable tutorial and I came to a point where it tells you about setting a string variable and I'm having a problem.

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats) {

  setstring welcomemessage,#c;

}

---

Everytime I try this it deletes the Flag 'welcomemessage=hello' instead of changing it.. Any Idea why?

[edit]
Also I was wondering about the old guard guy in dustari.. What did they use to make it follow the player? I thought followplayer didn't work 0.0?

probably just made it so the npcs x and y changed accordingly to the players x and y...

well, it depends on when you call the setstring command


if you do

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats) {

  setstring welcomemessage,#c;

}

---

but if you have it running in a loop, then its doubtful that the player will have chat text on ever loop execution

and if it is ran in a loop execution, you could do

NPC Code:

---

if (timeout) {

  if (!strequals(#c,)) {

    setstring welcomemessage,#c;

  }

}

Hey one of you mods... sticky this. it would help ease off the mass of question threads =]

K.. I see ":" in some scripts.. what is it for?
same with "?"

and with the "in" thing.. I see some stuff after that is contained in "< #,#,#,#>"

wouldn't it be { } instead.. since its an array? or something?
*super confused*

? and : are used together as a simple if else statment mostly used for seting vars

this.hat = (myvar<1 ? 1 : 2);

that is the same as doing this:

if(myvar<1){
this.hat=1;
}else{
this.hat=2;
}

i know about in's too but i dont rembemer about the <> part but here is what i know...

var in |20,200|

is the same as:

var>20 && var<200

also you can do:
var=1;
this.array={1,23,4,5,3,0};
var in this.array

that would be true
