NPC Drop w/ value

How do I set the text in the NPC of a clientr.var.

Here is the NPC script

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

  showText(205, 188, 115, $pref::graal::defaultfontname, "c", "" @(player.clientr.hp));



//all the show text stuff that comes with it

 setTimer(0.2);

 }

 

function onTimeOut()

{

destroy();

}

and the place script

PHP Code:


		
			
      temp.npc = this.level.putNPC2(player.x+4.5, player.y, ""); 

      temp.npc.join("healthdisplay");

Firstly, there's some things you could improve with your code. There's not really any consitancy with your styling, and instead of using a timeout you can use scheduleEvent()

Secondly, you just have to set the text of the NPC to what you want it to say using this.chat;

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {
  this.chat = player.clientr.hp;
  scheduleEvent(2, "onDestroy");
}

function onDestroy() {
  this.destroy();
}

If that's what you mean.

There's no player within the scope of onCreated on the server-side.

If there is a player in the scope that is creating the NPC, then you can do e.g., temp.npc.chat = player.clientr.hp;.

but the NPC doesn't know which player. Basically when you touch a a certain NPC (let's call it npcA) it created the NPC drawing the player.hp (npcB)

so npcA is creating npcB but I want it to display the player who touched npcA their hp.
Doesn't it have to do with params?

Just set some property of the npc (say, player_hp) by doing temp.npc.player_hp = player.clientr.hp; when creating the npc (i.e., below putnpc2). Then, when you want to display the number, just use this.player_hp instead of player.clientr.hp in your class.

You could also just do temp.npc.showtext(...), if you wanted.
