Serverside onActionProjectile?
 

I cant seem to get it working on serversided scripts. Dont tell me Ill have to use a bunch of triggeractions !pissed!

Yeah, I was having this problem a while back. Did you use setshape() on serverside?

EDIT: Do you mean onActionProjectile() for players, or for an NPC?

An NPC that uses showcharacter(). Ill try the setshape when I get back from work :O

Yeah, it doesn't seem to work on the serverside. What I did was just use a triggeraction.

I believe the proper function is onActionProjectile2()

I think it's onActionSProjectile(). Almost sure ;f

Nevermind, that's for serverside projectiles, says the wiki :oo:
onActionProjectile() triggers on serverside when a "projectile has landed". There doesn't seem to be an event when something is hit for serverside stuff, guess you have to do those checks yourself ;P

That's for when a projectile lands, anywhere.

When does projectiles land? I thought they crashed..

:blush:

You might be able to use an OnActionProjectile() clientside and then use a triggeraction() in response. That works for weapons... But it may be different for showcharacter NPCs.

ergh doing setshape didn't fix it, and yes its a clientside projectile hitting a serverside npc.

Allow me to clarify. I would add a clientside section with the "function OnActionProjectile()" code, and inside that function put a triggerserver() for a weapon. You could try a triggeraction() since it's not a weapon, and put the onaction in the serverside part of the code. That should work...

Ugh so I tried a trigger, why wont this work?
hurtenemy is a function I made in the serverside section of the script that does some other functions. I intentionally left out a few params on the triggeraction, just for testing purposes. Doesn't work though.

NPC Code:

---

function onActionClientproj() {

      hurtenemy();

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onActionProjectile() {

  triggeraction(x + 0.5, y + 0.5, "Clientproj"); 

}

Uh, setshape on the clientside portion of the class of the npc then?

As Stan said, set the shape, but also, you should use this.x and this.y since this is GS2.

You don't need to use this.x and this.y when there's no other scopes involved (This is for npcs, not for players). It's about personal preference.

Also, you need a setshape serverside for the serverside to detect triggers and a setshape clientside for the clientside to detect triggers

:]

onActionProjectile() triggers clientside when the player is hit with it. You should use onActionProjectile2() I guess, not sure if onActionProjectile() works for NPCs.
For onActionProjectile2():
params[0] is the x where the projectile lands
params[1] is the y
params[2 .. n] are the shoot paramaters (setShootParams() I think)

People actually take that as personal preference? x_x

That's just being lazy in my opinion, and it can make it hard to go back and edit.

Lazy? All scripters are lazy, so what's your point? =D

^^

I don't see anything wrong with it, and it's not really being lazy either. Sometimes it adds to the readability of a formula or something similar.

I say it depends on what you do, like what you're working with. I would use this. if I were to handle with (alot of) other scopes.
