NPC warping

[falco10291029]

I am working on a new battle system for ELemental Kingdoms but I cannot find a way to warp npcs to a level, which is a huge part of it (I have tried a few other ways, to no avail). anyb suggestions (please dont say get a good NAT)?

to my knowledge there are a few ways to do it, canwarp and canwarp2 depending if the npcs are attached to you or are moving. and doing with(getnpc(npcname)) setlevel2 level,x,y; this only works with dbnpc's though

[falco10291029]

I am not using a db npc, its a class npc, that's what makes it hard

[Slash-P2P]

use canwarp/canwarp2 and warpto x,y,level;

[falco10291029]

warpto doesnt work except on database npcs :/

this is true , you cant warp local npc's if this is what your trying to do, you have to use canwarp/canwarp2 and either attach it to the player or use move

[falco10291029]

hmm i know the command to attatch to a player i just didnt think it warped with them plus I wqas told that it wasnt a good thing to do. I will try that soon and let you guys know.

[Python523]

NPCs that were layed with putnpc2 can warpto and stuff.

cause they are considered held on the server correct? not local npcs?

They are considered DB NPCs, so technically, yea.

[falco10291029]

well mine just join the class directly, so that wouldnt work, ill try the attatching. But i'll remeber that putnpc2 thing, maybe make a summoning spell

[falco10291029]

hmm, how do i find the npcs id that i want the player to be attached to? i tried a couple ways, like a for loop, but it didnt seem to work.

[Loriel]

The current NPC's ID is stored, unsurprisingly, in the variable

NPC Code:

---

id

---

. By extension, you should be able to use

NPC Code:

---

players[index].id

---

.

[falco10291029]

ok, i wasnt sure if that worked, because it didnt seem to, i'l lretry it.

[falco10291029]

It attaches, but doesn't warp, here's the script, I can't see what's wrong:

PHP Code:

 else if (players[i].x in |x-3,x+3|&&players[i].y in |y-3,y+3|) {
this.w=int(random(0,1000));
copylevel neutral-battle.nw,neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw;
canwarp;
      with(players[i]) {
attachplayertoobj 0,id;
setlevel2 neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw,30,20;
detatchplayer;
   }

timeout=1;

}

   }

} 


The first thing thats wrong is not using KSI-GS.

PHP Code:

} else {
if (players[i].x in |x-3,x+3| && players[i].y in |y-3,y+3|) {
  this.w=int(random(0,1000));
  copylevel neutral-battle.nw,neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw;
  canwarp;
  with (players[i]) { // don't you mean getplayer(#a(i)) or allplayers[i]
    attachplayertoobj 0,id;
    setlevel2 neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw,30,20;
    detatchplayer;
  }
  timeout = 1;
}

I think you have a strange idea of what KSI-GS is.

Styling is a matter of personal preference, there's no right or wrong.

[falco10291029]

// don't you mean getplayer(#a(i)) or allplayers[i]

No. it's meant to look for people on the current level first, then (i dont know why it works this ay but it does) it looks on the rest of the gmap.

[falco10291029]

Right, now about the script? Help? please? (as for the mods of thsio forum that enjoy closing these type threads: I have tried several ways to get it working, i understand what I'm doing, ect ect, I just can't find the bug in my script)

[Loriel]

That means you do not understand what you are doing.

haha this is very true

[falco10291029]

No, that means I know what i'm doing, but I made a mistake that I didn't realize. Beside,s I mean I made the script, by understand, so I know how it works, i just don't know why it doesnt work (get it?)

this.w=int(random(0,1000)); 

copylevel neutral-battle.nw,neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw;<-Copylevel requires the folder names example:

copylevel levels/battlelevels/neutral-battle.nw,levels/battlelevels/neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw;  and I really recommend making your own folder for these levels.

canwarp; 

      with(players[i]) { 

detatchplayer; 

setlevel2 neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw,30,20; 

attachplayertoobj 0,id; 

   } 

timeout=1; 

}

[Tolnaftate2004]

You misspelled detachplayer.
This probably doesn't fix your problem, but I thought I'd let you know.

[falco10291029]

;<-Copylevel requires the folder names example:

You misspelled detachplayer.

I will try fixing both of those, and see if it helps.



EDIT:

PHP Code:

else if (players[i].x in |x-3,x+3|&&players[i].y in |y-3,y+3|) { 
this.w=int(random(0,1000)); 
copylevel levels/neutral-battle.nw,levels/neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw//I plan to delete the extra battle levels or have a script do it every now and then; 
canwarp; 
      with(players[i]) { 
attachplayertoobj 0,id; 
setlevel2 neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw,30,20; 
detachplayer; 
   } 

timeout=1; 

} 


Doesn't work still, that's the current script, it attaches you to the mold, but doesnt create or warpto the new level, nor make you warp there.

[Slash-P2P]

I suggest instead of creating a random level, you make a database npc to hold the indexes of the levels created. Then when the player ends the battle, erase the level.

You could also have a timeout NPC running in the level. Read the index of the level with #e(#,#,#L) or something and make the script run deletelevel if the playerscount is 0. If the player enters, start the timeout.

[falco10291029]

yes i was considering the second thing in the leve, but figured there isn't a point until I both;

A) Get the script to work.
B) have enough people on that it would matter

[CaTigus]

You could do:

NPC Code:

---

else if (players[i].x in |x-3,x+3|&&players[i].y in |y-3,y+3|) { 

this.w++;

copylevel levels/neutral-battle.nw,levels/neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw; 

canwarp; 

with(players[i]) { 

attachplayertoobj 0,id; 

setlevel2 neutral-battle#v(this.w).nw,30,20; 

detachplayer; 

   } 

timeout=1; 

} 

---

and in levels/neutral-battle.nw put this script exactly:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerleaves && playercount<0) {

deletelevel #L;

}

---

But make sure you have a backup of the original neutral battle.
We're deleting the level to make less lag. Now if that doesn't work i'll get online and play with it.

Can it have a negative playerscount?

[falco10291029]

The only change you made to the original script was making this.w progressively increase instea dof being random. I tried it just in case and it didn't help, so i went back to the original desing. Again iw on't be deleting the levels with a script until the average playercount is higher (crrently it's 2 )

[CaTigus]

It would kind of help if I knew the whole script so I knew what you were trying to do exactly.

[falco10291029]

That is the part of the script that is broken, the fighting system level warp, the overall script is the monster, mold. Posting it would only give noobs a script to copy.

[falco10291029]

no i think they meant "==0", and if not, well.....

[CaTigus]

Yeah, Both those would work, == just looks ugly to me.

[Slash-P2P]

No.

NPC Code:

---

if (created || initialized) {

  sendtorc Playerscount: #v(playerscount);

}

---

Returns 0. (DB NPC)

Looks perfectly fine to me.

Haha, I think it just looks ugly. I'm not going to argue over 2 equal signs with you

[falco10291029]

Yes, less arguing more helping my problem , this should be working.......

[CaTigus]

If you want to get all the players you're going to need

NPC Code:

---

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

  with(players[i]) {

    script;

  }

}

---

To get serverside NPCs use:

NPC Code:

---

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

  with(npcs[i]) {

    script;

  }

}

---

This works for classes aswell. You can control text's of a class and such with this, possibly warpto in the script, Which I have never tried.
I'm starting to lose understanding of your question.
