Script Help.

Well, i'm trying to get this so that when a player gets online he adds his account name to a string and then an NPC checks that string and if the players online don't match the names in the string, a little message saying, "Player <accout namr> has left game."

Currently I Have:

NPC Code:

---

tokenize2 ,,,#s(this.logged);

for (i=0;i<tokenscount;i++) {

  this.found=false;

  with (getplayer(#t(i))) this.found=true;

    if (this.found==false) { 

      deletestring this.logged,#t(i);

      setstring this.temp,#t(i);

      for (p=0;p<allplayerscount;p++){

        with (allplayers[p]) {

          insertstring client.messages,0,Player #s(this.temp) left the game.;

        }

      }

    }  

  }

}

if (this.count!=allplayerscount){

  for(i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++){

    with(allplayers[i]){

      this.gotten=false;

      for (j=0;j<tokenscount;j++{

        if (strequals(#a,#t(j))) this.gotten=true;

      }

      if (strlen(#F)>0){

        if (this.gotten==false) {

          addstring this.logged,#a;

        }

      } else {setplayerprop #3,headrc.png;}

    }

  }

}

this.count=allplayerscount;

timeout=.1;

Any help or input would be appreciated.

BTW, this is all serverside database NPCs.

LOL, the way I was considering doing something like this was:
[code]
if (actionplayeronline)
{ setstring this.online,#s(this.online),#a;
timeout=1;
}
if (timeout)
{ tokenize2 ,,#s(this.online);
for (i=0;i<tokenscount;i++)
{ with (getplayer(#t(i)))
{ if (!playerisonline)
{ actions to show that they are not online;
for (o=0;o<tokenscount;o++)
{ deletestring this.online,#s(this.online)-#t(i);}
}
}
}
}

if (actionplayeronline) { << - Put this in the Control NPC, then add it to the string and check the name, etc etc

There is an easyer way of check if a string is in a string array. Do this:

if(lindexof(str,strarray)>-1)

thats to check if it is in a string array

if(lindexof(str,strarray)=-1)

checks if it isnt in a string array

I loved it when Stefan released string arrays.
Before that I had to:

NPC Code:

---

tokenize #s(bla);

for (this.i=0;this.i<tokenscount;this.i++) {

  if (this.found==0 && strequals(#a,#t(this.i))) {

    this.found = 1;

    // Other stuff here

  }

}

All that code compacted into one little bit of code.
