and im gona start on my first script ever (an flute) !

but how shoud i start ?

i guess you'll need onkeypressed()
and then put an animation in there, and a sound.

There's an example here http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...55&postcount=9. You can find a lot of things if you use the search feature, and it will help you.

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(keyname, keycode) 
{ 
  // keyname(6) checks if the Grab button is pressed, default A on Qwerty. 
  if (keyname == keyname(6).lower()) { 
    // stuff 
  } 
} 


but where do i type in what Key i shoud use to play ?

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(keyname, keycode) 
{ 
  // keyname(6) checks if the Grab button is pressed, default A on Qwerty. 
  if (keyname == keyname(h).lower()) { 
    // stuff 
  } 
} 


??

i normally use

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code,key)
{
  if( key == "f")
  {
  }
} 


but if i do it that way the script keeps looping if i hold the key down, and i think with the .lower that is stopped.

[Samposse]

ok i made one now but the Problem is that when i press a the button it playes but it dosnt stop playing :S , like i play 1 note 1 time and it plays that note until i play an other note ...

here's the script

PHP Code:

//Im not using GS2 here!

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onWeaponFired() {
if (!flute){
setani idle,;
disabledefmovement();
disableweapons();
disableselectweapons();
disablepause();
disablemap();
set flute;
}}

if (keypressed&&keydown(6)){
if (flute){
enabledefmovement();
enableweapons();
enableselectweapons();
enablepause();
setani idle,;
unset flute;
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(z),false)) {
if (flute){
setani("delitto_flute-play1", "");
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(x),false)) {
if (flute){
setani("delitto_flute-play2", "");
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(c),false)) {
if (flute){
setani delitto_flute-play3,;
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(j),false)) {
if (flute){
setani delitto_flute-play4,;
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(v),false)) {
if (flute){
setani delitto_flute-play5,;
}}

if (keydown2(keycode(b),false)) {
if (flute){
setani delitto_flute-play6,;
}} 


all works but i wont it to only play an note in like 1 second

[Switch]

You're using a mix of GS1 and GS2.

[fowlplay4]

Instead of having all those keydown2 calls, you can use if else or a switch statement instead.

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code,key) {
  if( key == "f") {
    // setani or do whatever
  }
  else if (key == "g") {
    // setani or do whatever
  }
  else if (key == "h") {
    // setani or do whatever
  }
}

I've converted it to GS2 and fixed a couple of things; see the comments I left

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired() {
  if (! this.flute) { // the flute is off, so turn it on
    setAni("idle", NULL);
    disableDefMovement();
    disableWeapons();
    disableSelectWeapons();
    disablePause();
    disableMap();
    
    this.flute = true; // 'set' and 'unset' are deprecated and no longer used
  }
}

// like Jerret (fowlplay4) said, you can combine them in to one function

function onKeyPressed(code, key) {
  if (this.flute) { // if the flute is on
    if (keydown(6)) { // turn off the flute
      enableDefMovement();
      enableWeapons();
      enableSelectWeapons();
      enablePause();
      enableMap();
      
      this.flute = false;
    } else if (key == "z") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play1", NULL);
    } else if (key == "x") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play2", NULL);
    } else if (key == "c") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play3", NULL);
    } else if (key == "j") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play4", NULL);
    } else if (key == "v") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play5", NULL);
    } else if (key == "b") {
      setAni("delitto_flute-play6", NULL);
    }
  }
} 


There are better ways to do this, but they're more complicated and would probably just make it even more confusing.

As for the problem of the sound repeating, that's in the GANI. Open up each of the GANI files in the GraalShop.exe program, and on the right side with the GANI attributes, change "SETBACKTO" to the name of the flute idle GANI. This way, when the GANI is over, it goes back to the normal animation and doesn't loop the sound.

Thank You So mutch ^it realy help'd me starting on Forums xD

[Samposse]

ok my Flute is working Perfectly but its only one last problem, i need something to frezee the player while playing ...

disabledefmovment dont work ... :/

[Samposse]

shoud i put something as this insted òf Disabledefmovment ?

PHP Code:

clientr.speed = "0"; 


?

[fowlplay4]

You should quit double/triple posting.

I would add a flag such as.. client.disablemovement = true;

Then edit your movement system so it doesn't process movement if that flag is true, and please attempt to figure it out. I suspect you'll just post the movement script and have the forums do it for you yet again.
