Npc level changing

[[email protected]]

Is there any way to change the level of a npc to the player level?

[Tigairius]

Could you elaborate a little bit more?

Oh yea sure well i have this class script as an npc inside a level. I when the player touchs him i want him to follow him outside the level to the gmap. Is that possible? also when i have a class npc following somebody on gmap after about 2 to 3 levels it just freeze know why?

You should use a putnpc2, level NPCs can't follow you outside of the level. You could do something like:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  putnpc2(x, y, "join CLASS;");
} 


Then it should follow you just fine. Make sure inside of the class you have:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  canwarp();
  canwarp2();
}

PHP Code:

function onTimeOut()
{
 canwarp();
 canwarp2();
 this.attacker = "Graal713758";
  
 if ( client.task[3] == "halfway" )
 {  
 hideimg(200);
  if (thiso.smovement == "walk")
  {
  chat = this.attacker;
  this.timer = 11;
   if (this.to_check.x in |this.x-3,this.x+3| && this.to_check.y in |this.y-3,this.y+3|)
    {
      thiso.smovement = "idle";
      setcharani("idle",NULL);
    } 
       thiso.smovement = "walk";
  chat = thiso.smovement;
        
  if ( this.timer > 10 )
  { 
   with ( findplayer ( this.attacker ) )
  {
   this.newDir = getdir( player.x - this.x,  player.y - this.y );
  }
 } 
 this.to_check = findnearestplayer(this.x,this.y);
   this.dir = this.newDir;
    this.new_x = this.x + vecx(this.dir) * this.mov_speed;
    this.new_y = this.y + vecy(this.dir) * this.mov_speed;
    this.count--;
   if (this.count > 0)
    {
      this.to_add_x = this.new_x + 1.5 + vecx(this.dir);
      this.to_add_y = this.new_y + 2 + vecy(this.dir);
     if (onwall(this.to_add_x,this.to_add_y)) 
      {
        this.dir = (this.dir+2)%4;
        this.timer = 0;
      } else 
     if (onwater(this.to_add_x,this.to_add_y)) 
      {
        setcharani("swim",NULL);
      }else
       {
         setcharani("spawn_weapon9mm-walk","");
         x = this.new_x;
         y = this.new_y;
       }
    } else
     {
       this.count = int(random(10,40));
     }
  }
 
 }
    setTimer(0.05);  
}

Well you shouldn't use 0.05 timeout serverside like that, it wears on the server especially with everything you're trying to do. Use move() instead.

It defaults to .1, I believe.

[Pelikano]

Yes, I think .05 doesn't work at all serverside.

Also, first you're using:


this.attacker = "Graal713758";

And then:

with ( findplayer ( this.attacker ) )

I think you need to use "findplayerbycommunityname()"

No. "GraalXXXXXX" are account names, not community names.

no @ pelikano

you are using the script as an object right? [putnpc2 script, not level]

fiundplayerbycommunityname() can find account names aswell It's a function that first looks for account names, then community names.

Which makes me wonder why the findPlayer() function didn't get replaced with the code from findPlayerByCommunityName().

because that would have been logical
