Help with DBNPCs...

Hey im working on a special something, and its using DB NPCs. My problem occurs on adding/removing something to a DBNPCs flags.

These dont appear to work:

PHP Code:


		
			
findNPC("Astram").add("Hey_"@params[1]);

and

PHP Code:


		
			
findNPC("Astram").remove("Hey_"@params[1]);

Please help, THANKS! :)

add() and remove() are for arrays only. You'd have to do it like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
findNPC("Astram").varname.add(stuff);

Of course, varname can be anything. If you don't want to use arrays, do something similar to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
findNPC("Astram").varname = stuff;

It's the name for a variable.

Also, you don't need to use findNPC.

PHP Code:


		
			
MyDB.var = val;

MyDB.one = "two";

MyDB.three = 4;

varname is just a place holder for whatever you want to name the variable you are assigning.

soo

PHP Code:


		
			
Astram.test = "hi there!";
Astram.(@"test_"@player.account) = "Hello There!";

I haven't used findnpc() since it's not really necessary.

So
Astram.("Jailed_"@player.account@"time_"@params[1]);
would this work?

You need to go back to square one. A variable has a value.

Think of it like a variable in math.

PHP Code:


		
			
x = 5;



echo(x); // echoes 5, because x is 5



y = 2;



echo(x + y); // echoes 7, because x + y is the same as 5 + 2



x = 3;



echo(x); // now echoes 3, because x now equals y

My suggestion would be to use the player's account as the variable name and the time they will be released as the value.

PHP Code:


		
			
function jailPlayer(acc, timeToRelease) {

  // use timevar2 for timeToRelease

  Astram.jail.(@ acc) = timeToRelease;

}

I strongly recommend you go read one of these tutorials or check out this website.

Astram.("Jail_"@params[1]@"_Time") = params[2];

Hey guys wait, I still dont know how to add to a DBNPC flag...
I just got to make a flag or overwrite it. Not adding to it...
For Example I mean this:
Jailed=Graal749201,Graal759329
Not just
Jailed=Graal749201
then when you try Graal759329 it does
Jailed=Graal759329

To add:

db.jailed.add(account)

To remove:

db.jailed.remove(account)
