move

[adam]

This is most likely a bug but I thought I would just post it here first.

NPC Code:

---

if ( created ){

  this.speed = 0.5;

  message Ask me to "Come Here".;

}



if ( playerchats ){

  if ( strequals( #c , Come Here ) ){

    this.movex = playerx + vecx( playerdir ) * 2;

    this.movey = playery + vecy( playerdir ) * 2;

    move();

    message Coming sir.;

  }

}



function move(){

  this.dx = this.movex - x;

  this.dy = this.movey - y;

  this.dis = ( this.dx ^ 2 + this.dy ^ 2 ) ^ 0.5;

  this.time = this.dis * this.speed;

  setcharani walk,;

  move this.dx , this.dy , this.time , 1 + 4 + 8 + 16;

}



if ( movementfinished ){

  if ( x != this.movex || y != this.movey ){

    message A wall is in the way.;

  }else{

    message Here.;

  }

  setcharani idle,;

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



if ( created ) {

  // Initialize the attributes

  showcharacter;

  setcharprop #3 , head212.png;

  setcharprop #C0 , orange;

  setcharprop #C1 , black;

  setcharprop #C2 , black;

  setcharprop #C3 , black;

  setcharprop #C4 , black;

  setcharprop #2 , no-shield.png;

  setcharprop #n , Bob;

  shieldpower = 1;

  dir = 2;

}

This is a basic npc, it uses the move command to come to you when you ask it too. It is serverside.

It works fine offline. But online it will stop moving, but continue to walk at a standstill. And when called to move again it will warp to the spot it was trying to get to and continue from there.

I really want the move command to work here. :-/ Suggestions? Common ailments? Have you encountered the same?

ew. whitespace.

I always have trouble with move, i just assumed its buggy, i never move more than one tile distance at a time.

[adam]

I have been informed by a few people that it is move.

Move must be fixed! It has a lot of potential if the serverside can work like the clientside. :-/

    newx = gox + cos(this.angle);

A temporary solution at best, Half the point of move is so I can do all that without having to run extensive wall checks servside.

How does move imply that you don't have to do wall checks?

The move wall check isn't even that good clientside, if I remember correctly

move checks onwall after movement has finnished x.x

Neither was the temporary solution you gave me. And trying to do it any better would use far too much of the server's resources for my taste. I do plan on having lot's of things all over the server move. And having the move function work correctly would help.

jagens move thing works fine

offline + running in a timeout of 0.05, according to my debugger it uses 0.0234215 or something of my cpu usage, and i have a very crappy machine.

That's the EXACT same problem I have. Doing extensive checking to make sure things don't hit a wall (ACCURATELY) is very resource intensive... compared to other scripts at least.

I could make it worse but I'm not up to the challenge

Why didn't you just do setcharprop #n eludes me...

Because it looks better
