triggeraction doesnt work second time

[Stryke]

Control-NPC:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerLogOut(pl)
{
  if(pl.client.RideStatus == 1)
  {
    pl.client.CurrentRide.destroy();
    triggerserver("weapon","-System/Main","boardstay",pl);
  }
} 


-System/Main Weapon:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(id)
{
  switch(id)
  {
    case "boardstay":
      temp.pl = params[1];
      temp.r = putnpc2(temp.pl.x,temp.pl.y,"join(\"object_rideitem\");");
      temp.r.owner = temp.pl.account;
      temp.r.ani = "silence_woodenboardidle2";
      temp.pl.client.CurrentRide = temp.r;
    break;
  }
} 


It gave me a error trying to use the "putnpc2" command in the Control-NPC, so I tried to get around it by making the Control-NPC send a triggerserver to another Weapon, in this case (-System/Main). However, it is never received. (Checked with echo multiple times). How would I get around this?

I need this because I don't want the skateboard to disappear after the player logs out while is on the skateboard.

triggerserver gives an error too.

PHP Code:

function onActionGrabbed() {
//Don't parse through the account! it'll make the players account automatically
  if(player.account != this.owner) return; 
  with(player) {
    ani = "skateboardidle"; //I don't think this is even it [setani?]
    client.ridestatus = 1;
    triggerclient("weapon", "-System/Main", "boarddisable");
  }
  this.hide();
} 


PHP Code:

triggeraction(this.x, this.y, "Grabbed", 0); 


Thinking about it, you should generally have the getting off the skateboard in the actual weapon, not a class...

[Stryke]

I can't even get on the skateboard now..
BTW ani = gs1 (#m). And yes, it does work.
Its cause setani is clientside.

Even though whats ur saying is true, if it works the 1st time,
why shouldn't it work the 2nd time?

BTW: The actual weapon, is just a blank putnpc2.

because you needed to be standing near it to get off the skateboard, check your triggeraction.

you do have a strange way of making this a weapon i must say o-o

[Stryke]

I'm trying to make them like Era cars.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the triggeraction's arguments...
It echoed:

PHP Code:

First time
x-42.5
y-50
acct-Graal711249

Second time
x-42.5
y-51.34
acct-Graal711249 


But it never displays the second "BLAH"..

PHP Code:

function onActionGrabbed(acct)
{
  echo("BLAH"); 
  ....
  .....
} 


Well for now I resorted to using a new putnpc2.. Tell me if anyone has any ideas though.

[[email protected]]

to destroy the putnpc2 once the player enters the car, then to create a new putnpc2 once the player leaves the car...

[Stryke]

Yeah, thats what I'm doing, and it works now.
However, there's another problem:

PHP Code:

if (timeout) {
  if (client.RideStatus==1) {
    for (this.k=0;this.k<4;this.k++) {
      if (keydown(this.k)) {
        player.dir=this.k;
        if (client.minSpeed < client.maxSpeed) client.minSpeed += 0.11;
          if (!onwall(playerx+vecx(this.k)*client.minSpeed,playery+vecy(this.k)*client.minSpeed))
          {
            playerx+=vecx(this.k)*client.minSpeed;
            playery+=vecy(this.k)*client.minSpeed;
          }
      }
      else if(client.minSpeed>1) client.minSpeed -= 0.1;
    }
  }
  timeout=0.05;
} 


This seems to affect all the players, not just me. How do i fix this
so it only affects me? Like if there was only 1 board on the map it would be normal speed, 2 boards then 2x speed, 3 boards 3x speed, etc and so on.

Also, this.owner seems to only work on the serverside. x.x. How do I access it on the clientside?

[[email protected]]

by sending it through a trigger action.
the other people must have 'client.RideStatus = 1' in their flags. make sure you are resetting this flag to null on login maybe

[Stryke]

Yeah client.RideStatus is already set to NULL on login.

"by sending it through a trigger action"
Send what, for what?

Anyway, Sidney do you mean this?

PHP Code:

triggeraction(x,y,"owner",this.owner);

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionOwner(pl)
{
  this.owner = pl;
} 


[[email protected]]

no... as in triggerclient?

triggerclient("weapon", "weaponname", params);

Nevermind,.

Also, please post your solution for others with similar problems.

[Stryke]

attr's never work for me, can you please show me a proper example script using attr's? BTW, it's solved anyway. My new problem is that when the NPC-Control won't send a triggerserver to one of my NPCs in the Weapon List, (I tried multiple times with echo). The reason I need the NPC-Control is because of the "function onPlayerLogOut(pl)" check. I need it so that the board isn't deleted when they player leaves while is on the board.

[cbk1994]

You won't be able to perform triggerserver on serverside ...

[Stryke]

So how would I do this?

Script execution errors:
Function putnpc2 not found at line 102

Why the hell isn't putnpc2 allowed?

[cbk1994]

Is it on clientside?

putnpc2 is only serverside.

[Stryke]

It's on the Control-NPC, and no it's not clientside.

[cbk1994]

Control-NPC can't putnpc2 since it isn't in a level.

[Stryke]

So should I use attrs or something?
Can u show me an example..

[cbk1994]

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  this.attr[8] = "secret code :)";
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerTouchsMe()
{
  chat = this.attr[8];
}

Since I can't use putnpc2 on the NPC server, what should I do?
