Warp Player and Max Heart Problem

[Zickle]

2 Questions:

1) How do you warp a player in a while (visible) {if (mousedown) {WARP PLAYER} } (Thats not the full code but thats how its done, sorta. Setlevel2 isnt working. But it works in a simple if (playerchats&&strequeals(#c,)) {} script.

2) I got a server, how do I make it so that people start off with 5 hearts instead of 3?

actionplayeronline, set a flag once you initialize their stats

setlevel2 is serverside just making sure you know this

most widely use with actionplayeronline in the control npc like trunks said, but using the graal default hp system is not recommended , at least not by me

I emulated all of classic movement and hit detection because I agree with this... it was painful though, a small part of me died.

Okay well look heres my code:

NPC Code:

---

removed, see newer code.

---

Works offline, not online.

AAahh dont use while loops for something like that. Use a timeout instead.

Why are there multiple instances of //#CLIENTSIDE?

Is there a difference?

SHHH! You see nothing.

[Tolnaftate2004]

setlevel2 must be serverside.

[Zickle]

Okay! I got it down to a simple:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by ZicklePop

while (visible) {

if (client.statsgender=boy) {

  setlevel2 zercha-start-boy.nw,30,32.5;

}

if (client.statsgender=girl) {

  setlevel2 zercha-start-girl.nw,30,32.5;

}

sleep 0.1;

}

Whats wrong with it?

[Evil_Trunks]

that's a completely terrible script

I will tell you why

first of all, you are doing a 0.1 second loop serverside, which is the worst idea ever if you can at all avoid it

you are comparing strings wrong

NPC Code:

---

if (strequals(#s(this.string),some text)) {

---

that is the kind of format you must use in GScript

third you are doing your loop using while and sleep, that's a horrible idea
use timeout for loops

fourth, this kind of thing should be integrated into whatever system you have for picking the gender in the first place

good luck with improving your scripting abilities, we all have to start from somewhere

  setlevel2 zercha-start-girl.nw,30,32.5;

}

sleep 0.1;

For the love of Govannon, don't use 'while'.

Your mouse stuff is clientside. Your setlevel stuff is serverside.
Practice using triggeraction to call serverside stuff for warping.

What a waste of a perfectly fine flag! if (playerfullhearts < 5) playerfullhearts = 5; and be done with it!

Why could I not move the mouse stuff to the server side instead?

[Zickle]

But doesnt it have to be in its own NPC because of Serverside and Clientside?

[Zickle]

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by ZicklePop

if (created) setshape 1,1,1;

if (actionplayerboy) setlevel2 zercha-start-boy.nw,30,32.5;

if (actionplayergirl) setlevel2 zercha-start-girl.nw,30,32.5;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (strequals(#s(client.statsgender),boy)) {

sleep 0.1;

triggeraction x,y,playerboy,;

}

if (strequals(#s(client.statsgender),girl)) {

sleep 0.1;

triggeraction x,y,playergirl,;

}

Thats my current code, but it only works on update level (or level refresh wahtever you call it)

[Evil_Trunks]

where is client.statsgender being set?

that's where you should be calling the level switch

(as a side note: client. flags are insecure and are able to be edited clientside by malicious players using certain programs)
