setting hat on a character in GS2

[Cherrykao]

i know the GS1 command is "setcharprop #P1" for setting a hat on an NPC, but is there a GS2 command for setting a hat on a character or NPC like "headimg" for head, "bodyimg" for body, etc...

i also have another question. how or what function determines whether or not players are able to walk through another player and players cannot walk through other players? do people just script their own functions for this or is there a command that can be used?? thanks.

player.attr[0] = "imagename";
I believe.

Only way to make players walk through each other is to make the area a nopk zone. Though, someone recently posted a script in the code gallery that did that exact thing.

thanks. i ran into another problem. here's what i did:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters() {
  datalog.loadvars("levels/datastuff.txt");

  stat = datalog.info;
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.chat = format("This info: %s",stat);
} 


when i run this script, the output is: "This info: 0". there's already stuff saved into this text file. datalog.info should contain a string: "test" and not the number 0. i can't seem to correctly copy variables from serverside to clientside (or vice versa).

i don't want to get rid of the CLIENTSIDE comment since i have additional functions below this that are clientside functions only.

You can't just read a serverside variable from the clientside. You should use attr's.

[Cherrykao]

thanks. it works using attr's.

Here's what I do

PHP Code:

if (player.chat.starts("sethat"))
  player.attr[1] = player.chat.substring(7,-1);

pshaw. Thats noob code.

PHP Code:

tokens = player.chat.tokenize();
if ( tokens[0] == "/sethat" )
{
  player.attr[1] = tokens[1];
} 


^-- That's where it's at.

That tokenize was seriously unnecessary... I didn't create a var (you also forgot to temp it) and I didn't need to tokenize it then access an index...

I think that was the point...I think he was joking. lol

This forum has too many retards to try to guess which ones are actually average people making a joke, so I just lump them all in the retard box if they say crap like that.

PHP Code:

if (player.chat.starts("sethat "))
  player.attr[1] = player.chat.substring(7,-1); 


Better like that, with the space at the end of sethat

So if I say "sethatfrootloopston" it wont do anything.

Using tokenize without parameters is real noob code.
