obj.hide() problems

I'm having some problems with the

HTML Code:

obj.hide()

It's finding the NPCs (using a loop)

HTML Code:

for (temp.i: npcs) {

  if (temp.i.isinclass("event_block")) temp.i.trigger("onToggleVis", true/false);

}

in the NPC

HTML Code:

function onToggleVis(mode) {

  if (temp.mode == true) this.hide(); 

  else this.show();

}

Although, it calls the function (onToggleVis) but it won't hide the NPC. I saw this

HTML Code:

obj.hidetoclients = boolean

when I set it to true, it hides no problem. It just won't come back!

Thanks

I feel like using 'mode' would cause a problem, keywords/built-in variables can be jerks sometimes.

It's detecting the right function & mode, so it's not that =[

I just want to hide the object, so it doesn't block the player =[

PHP Code:


		
			
trigger("ToggleVis", true/false)

// instead of

trigger("onToggleVis", true/false)

That should do it, no?

No, it doesn't matter which one. It'll still invoke "onToggleVis."

Why not try something simpler, like:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onToggleVis(mode) {

  this.visible = mode;

}

Normally you don't need that, since he is triggering the npc anyway (triggering is waking it up).
On server-side to change some other npc you normally have to:
npc.visible = false;
npc.trigger("updateorso","");

That sets the visibility to false and is also waking up the npc so that the new attributes are sent to the clients.

The original code looks a little bit fishy to me though, you are hiding when you pass "true" and show when you pass "false"? That can confuse the one who is calling the function and thinks it will actually show when you call it with parameter "true".
