//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
dontblock;
}
function onPlayerChats() {
if (player.chat =="/Buy Gund Dino Hat"){
if(playerrupees>=1000)
addweapon("Hats/Dino Hat");
playerrupees-=1000;
}
}

Same issue as your previous thread, addweapon (and presumably player.rupees) need to be used serverside, which requires a trigger.

could you show me an example of it as a trigger so i can study it and figure out exactly how itd work?

Well actually, if you're going to do it entirely by chat it would be better to just have the entire thing serverside rather than use a trigger, the main reason you'd want it clientside is to have something like a GUI prompt.

Otherwise the most basic thing to do would be:

The conditions being serverside is important for the sake of security but I personally have it clientside too for the sake of preventing un-necessary triggers.

ah so u define the commands on server side bit and clientside uses them
thanks so much man now i understand it so much better =D
i also plan to make a /warn for a warning system... so far no luck rofl

This isn't how it works, serverside and clientside code is completely separate with the exception of a few built in commands and variables that are automatically synchronised from serverside to clientside (such as dontblock, x, y etc), triggeraction is simply being used to communicate between your client and the server.

iv also added
}
else {
player.chat = "You Have Already Purchased This Weapon!";
}
thanks again man you really have helped me =D

ooh lol i thought triggeraction was triggering an action defined on creation rofl

It's:

Which is invoking "onActionCommand" serverside, you can also use this to pass parameters to the server such as:

Will echo "hello world" to RC.

If it's in a level NPC there's no reason to use a trigger. onPlayerChats (and onPlayerTouchsMe) is called both serverside and clientside in NPCs.

its in a weapon, also how would i make it if player.rupees <=1000; player.chat "u dont ave enough money";
iv tried to add it into it but im having no luck :/

With an if statement.

i used an if statement but i am unsure where to put it
:/

ffcmike pretty much gave you the solution already. I would recommend you read my entire guide and the linked resources on it, and attempt to learn how to script.

Guide Link: http://public.zodiacdev.com/index.php?title=Fowlplay4 (I'm pretty sure you've been linked to it at least 3 times now...)

Programming/scripting in general usually isn't something you can pick up with ease and it will take time.

But here's a visual for you:

If you understand that image, and you understand what certain pieces of code actually does you should be able to figure out where the logic needs to be placed.

so somthing like the first bit then
if player.rupees <=1000;
triggerserver blah blah blah;
}
else {
player.chat = "I Dont Have Enough Money!";
return;

would that do it?
thanks btw for helping.
iv also made a wicked gui =D


function onActionServerSide() {
if (params[0] == "jail") {
findplayerbycommunityname(params[1]).setlevel2("jail.nw", 31.5, 28.5);
}
if (params[0] == "unjail") {
findplayerbycommunityname(params[1]).setlevel2("ge_f2.nw", 0, 24);
}
if (params[0] == "warn") {
findplayerbycommunityname(params[1]).setlevel2("warning_room.nw", 37.5, 16.5);
}

}

function MyGUI_Button1.onAction() {
triggerserver("gui",this.name,"jail",MyGUI_TextEdi t1.text);
}

function MyGUI_Button2.onAction() {
triggerserver("gui",this.name,"unjail",MyGUI_TextE dit2.text);
}

function MyGUI_Button3.onAction() {
triggerserver("gui",this.name,"warn",MyGUI_TextEdi t3.text);
}


now i just need to make it open that when u double click a player and automaticly fill the text box's with the players comm name =D

you wouldnt happen to know how to do that would you :3?

thanks again

No, it wouldn't. Please use PHP tags when posting code in the future.

The first line is of an if-statement does not need a semicolon as it is not a command, it's a condition.

If you'd read the guide linked to you, you'd see that the proper syntax for an if-else statement is:

Your condition was backwards.

player.rupees <= 1000 would be true if they had less than or equal to 1000, so change it to player.rupees >= 1000 and plug that in:

Now all you have to do is either add the weapon or set the player's chat.

You don't need a trigger as you should be doing this serverside.

This is a solution, but if you had lots of hats and you made a weapon for EVERY hat, then your weapons list would start to look like testbeds. Surely there is another way to go about doing this?

Use flags instead ;)

Example (using clientr.hats you need to add all the hats you want to your self):

Sure there are a lot of other ways you can do it. This was just a simple one so you see how it generally works.
