Need Simple Help!

[xshadx]

Ok Well, I'm not that good at scripting -_- I was wondering how you would script like a... NPC When you walk under it it goes clear so you can see your self then sets back. i know this is probably a simple seteffect but im just asking for help =)

[xXziroXx]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  setImg( "imagename");
  this.imgwidth = #;  // Set this to the pixel width of the image.
  this.imgheight = #;  // Set this to the pixel height of the image.

  drawoverplayer();
  dontblock();

  setTimer( .05);
}

function onTimeOut()
{
  if (player.x in |x, x + (this.imgwidth/16)|
    && player.y in |y, y + (this.imgheight/16)|) {
    setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, .4);
  } else setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, 1);
  setTimer( .05);
} 


Works in theory, didnt test it.

Hm, Cant Seem To Get It To Work.
Does The Img Height,Width go:
this.imgheight = #;HERE
OR
this.imgheight = #HERE;

[xXziroXx]

Uh. Change # to the value of i.e. the imgage height. (Say its a block.png, then change both the imgheight and imgwidth value to 32).

[xshadx]

hm, ok now i understand

What Im Using Is The Following, Maybe It Doesnt Work Because Im In Editor Mode? Maybe It's Because Im Missing Something.

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
setImg( "block.png");
this.imgwidth = 32;
this.imgheight = 32;
drawoverplayer();
dontblock();

setTimer( .05);
}

function onTimeOut()
{
if (player.x in |x, x + (this.imgwidth/32)|
&& player.y in |y, y + (this.imgheight/32)|) {
setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, .4);
} else setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, 1);
setTimer( .05);
}

Without reading the script I can tell you that it won't work in editor mode. Editor mode does not support GS2, and you're attempting to code in GS2. And also, you should learn to use code tags when posting up code for review.

Thanks.

you could also do: this.imagewidth = getImgWidth("filename"); (might be able to use this.image instead of filename, but I'm not sure)

Ah, THATS why imgwidth() never worked for me in GS2, its supposed to be getImgWidth()!

Something he doesnt know!

Bored, might aswell improve it with getImgWidth/Height:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  setImg( "imagename");

  drawoverplayer();
  dontblock();

  setTimer( .05);
}

function onTimeOut()
{
  if (player.x in |x, x + (getImgWidth( this.image)/16)|
    && player.y in |y, y + (getImgHeight( this.image)/16)|) {
    setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, .4);
  } else setcoloreffect( 1, 1, 1, 1);
  setTimer( .05);
}

Thanks, Ziro :o

what is up with the space you put between the opening parenthesis and the first parameter? It's really ugly IMO. If you're going to do that, atleast put a space between the last parameter and the closing parenthesis.

Also, I forgot about this before, but because you are setting the image of the NPC you can use the 'this.width' and 'this.height' variables to get the width/height instead of using getImgWidth()/getImgHeight()
