Events that work in ganiscript?

working on a custom nickname system, it appears that neither onPlayerNickChanges
or
onNickChanges

are invoked in the gani.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerEnters(){
  with(findimg(200)){
    x = player.x + 1.5;
    y = player.y + 3;
    attachtoowner = true;
    temp.c = shared.getAlignmentColor(player.ap);
    /*red = c[0]/255;
    green = c[1]/255;
    blue = c[2]/255;*/
    red = 83;
    green = 46;
    blue = 86;
    textshadow = true;
    //temp.c = shared.getAlignmentShadowColor()
    //shadowcolor = {c[0]/255, c[1]/255, c[2]/255};
    text = player.nick;
    font = $pref::graal::defaultfontname;
    style = "bc";
    zoom = $pref::graal::defaultfontsize / 24;
    layer = 0;
  }
}

function onPlayerNickChanges(){
  with(findimg(200)){
    text = player.nick;
  }
}

I think those are serverside only.

trying something like

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.chat.starts("setnick")){
    with(findimg(200)){
      text = player.nick;
    }
  }
}

also doesn't work

I'd hate to have to do something like unset the player.attr and then reset it after a timeout or something, but it looks like I may have to

ended up duplicating the gani and am changing the attr to the 2nd gani when onPlayerNickChanges is invoked on the serverside, resetting back to original after a .1 sec scheduleevent

guess I'll have to shove a timeout into the ani itself to deal with AP, checking once every 10 or so seconds seems reasonable

Maybe try using onPlayerChanges(pl)? I doubt it will work inside a GANI script, though.

I can imagine nickname displaying having several complications if done through gani script, even if there was an event for nick changing within gani scripts you still ought to have a way to add the text "(Paused)" assuming you want to replicate default.
And what about when AP changes?

You may want nicknames to be hidden at certain times which would likely require the use of a timeout to check for them being enabled, which is something you'd want to be checking one time within a weapon rather than for every single player in a gani script.

Edit: you mentioned this just before I posted.

If there were other gani scripts active that were modifying player red, green, blue, zoom etc would these not also be applied to nickname display if it were within a gani script?

The method I use is setting the nick to an attr and check to see if they don't equal each other. I use another attr for my custom pause system.. Suppose you could do the same for AP

You're right about the hiding nicks though, as far as I'm aware there is still no inherent method of getting the player object who is viewing the gani, so I guess I'll have to use a weapon for this instead.

If you use a client.var in a gani script, it'll always use the one of the player viewing the gani.

should I just reference the client var without providing the object?

PHP Code:


		
			
if(client.viewnicks)

EDIT: tested that with another player, appears to be working as intended

I guess the issues I need to figure out still are how to update nick names being toggled off instantly rather than having to sit and wait for a slow timeout I plan to use for AP.

EDIT 2: apparently keydown(10) only returns true while unpausing, and will not return true while starting a pause. Only solution I can think of is using GraalControl.onKeyDown and checking if keyname == 2nd param.

Pausing is weird, disable default and re-make your own.

How'd you make the player invincible? ^_^

I think my solution is just fine really. I don't really want it to show (paused) when players alt tab since it doesn't make them invincible/able to be walked through

PHP Code:


		
			
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(c, k, s){
  if(keyname(10) == k){
    if(player.paused){ 
      player.attr[14] = " (paused)";
    }
    else{
      player.attr[14] = "";
    }
    player.attr[13] = "un_nick2.gani";
    setTimer(.05);
  }
}

I just wish an event was invoked when AP changes at this point...

That's some really hackish stuff you got there.
