Player as a blocking object?

[oo_jazz_oo]

Ok, my problem...I have an npc that moves around a level and detects walls.

When it gets next to a player, it detects that player as a wall. (When using onwall())

I could get around this by detecting if the npc is near a player, and such, but I was wondering if there is another way to make it so the npc doesn't detect players as a wall.

I've seen a function before that makes it so the npc doesnt detect players as blocking...somethign like noplayeronwall(). But I can't find anything of the sorts. =/

That's the function you can use it like so:

(script of some DB NPC or so)

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  setCharAni("idle", NULL); // show the character or whatever
  
  noplayeronwall();
} 


then to move, just use the standard onwall/onwall2 and it should work.

Is it a serverside only script? o.o

When I use it clientside, it returns an error in the f2 window.
And if I use it serverside, the client still detects players as blocking.

It only works serverside. If you need to achieve the same effect clientside, you'll want to use a combination of findAreaNPCs and tileType (see Dusty's recent thread).

Ah, thanks. ^_^

tileType worked perfectly.
