PHP Code:
- New script command: move dx,dy,time,options;
dx - delta x
dy - delta y
time - time in seconds
options - cachingmode (0,1 or 2) + blockcheck (4 or 0) +
informmewhendone (8 or 0) + applydirection (16 or 0)
This moves the npc without needing you to update the
position of the npc 'manually' by changing x and y.
To move an npc 10 tiles to the right, then 10 tiles to
the left and again, just do following:
if (created) {
while (true) {
move 10,0,4,0;
sleep 4;
move -10,0,4,0;
sleep 4;
}
}
This moves the npc 10 tiles to the right, then waits 4
seconds, then moves it 10 tiles to the left, then waits
4 seconds, and repeats this endlessly.
The good thing is that this also works with server-side
npcs and makes them look like they are moved on client-side.
There are also nice options to makes things very simple:
- cachingmode:
- 0: previous movements will be finished immediatelly
- 1: movements will be cached, the previous movements
will only be finished when the cache is too large
(distance to go >5);
this caching can be used on server-side npcs to
make the movement look like non-laggy even when
there are little delays sometimes
- 2: the movement will just be appended to the movement
list; you can add up to 100 movements
- blockcheck: add 4 to the options when you want the
npc to stop when there is a wall blocking the npc
- informmewhendone: if you add 8 to the options then the
script will be called with a 'movementfinished' flag
when the the npc has stopped walking; catch this event
with
if (movementfinished) {...}
if you want to do something when the npc has stopped
(e.g. walking in a different direction)
- applydirection: add 16 to the options if you want the
game to automatically set the direction of the npc
depending on the movement direction (can be good
when using movement caching)
