toweapons/addweapon?

[Salaisuus]

addweapon wont work for me at all, why why why?
toweapons works just fine with npc sever except when used clientside...
But yeah, plah plah, how do I get addweapon to effing work??


Oh and when I try to save classes RC says:
"Script *scriptname* saved (no npc with this class on the server)."
And wont display the file. Even tho there is an npc with that class on the server. Why oh why?

Bah.
Before I started my server I scripted everything I needed and then it turned out most of my stuff didnt work with npc server.
Argh.

So on a side note to that Im hiring a freaking scripter if anyone would care to help with a few simple (simple? maybe...) npcs.

addweapon = serverside.
toweapons = the devil.

You have to have weapons in your weapons list(sword icon) to use addweapon (it adds a weapon to someones inventory).
toweapons should not be used if you have an npcserver.
To get the class file, look in the folder scripts.

If you want to use toweapons;(adds npc to NPC-Control) do this:

if (actionserverside)
{if (playertouchsme) toweapons;
}

If you want to use addweapons;(adds NPC thats already in NPC-Control to player attributes) do this:

//#CLIENTSIDE
{if (playertouchsme)
addweapon (weaponame)
}

Erm, wtf?
addweapon only works serverside, and don't use toweapons at all =/

Do not use toweapons. It is deprecated and causes problems with the NPC-Server.

Use NC to add the weapon to the weapons database, then use the serverside command:

NPC Code:

---

addweapon weaponname;

---

LordVyse, a warning: Those who continually post bad advice in the scripting forum become masked from it.

Right... So all I need to do Is ad the weapon script to the npcs before using addweapon.

I feel like getting rid of npc server, I dont seem to need it for all that much...

I still dont understand why toweapons is bad to use....If its so BAD to use why hasnt anyone removed it from the Commands?

[Loriel]

Because people still use it and Stefan does not want to break scripts.

Having a serveroption to disable it like mentioned in some other thread would be cool.

Maybe someone could script that into NPC-Server.

[Loriel]

I once suggested something like disablescriptcommands=toweapons,sendpm,...

[osrs]

About the class npc, you have to call the script (using the serverside command join) so it will show in the classes. If you have already called the script and it still does not show, so i have no clue.

Don't get rid of the npc server, you will find it very useful. Just get someone who can script to edit your npcs for use with the npc-server.

Classic still uses toweapons right? Since they have no NPC Server. N-Pulse did use it til we converted it all.
