Triggeraction Guide
 

Could someone be kind enough to explain Triggeraction for non-p2p stuff in its fullest content?

triggeraction x,y,name,param;

triggers action "name" at x,y

in the npc at x,y (if any)

if (actionNAME) {
dostuff;
}

triggeraction x,y,action,params,.....;

as said b4 it triggers action "action" at x y. however they failed to mention that you can add params, mostly for p2p stuff..but awww heck...
watch:

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) toweapons weapon;

if (playerchats) triggeraction playerx+1.5,playery+2,weapon,name,#c,#a;

if (actionname) setplayerprop #c,#p(1): #p(0);

---

talk about a loop...

both failed to mention that if a player is on the x&y cordinate that you trigger, then they must have the weapon that triggered it (ie. you have a net and you try to catch someone, then they must also have the net)



PS i know this can be worked around, so please dont

srry ur right i should have mentioned that. thanks ;)

give me an example plz. ;)

of what, the way to work around it??

Well what I am trying to script is a job that is sort of like mining. I am working on creating a npc that uses putnpc and uses a random setting to where the ore will be placed, a random setting that determines the type of ore, and another random setting that determines the density/purity of the mineral in percentage. So, I want to learn how to use triggeraction for NON-P2P (if it matters p2p or not) so I can create the pickaxe.

the make the weapon like

triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+2+vecy(playe rdir)*2,minehere;

Thanx thats what I needed.

yay! another scripting problem solved by the superheros of the graal2001 forums...lol

a superhero??

na

whats vecx and y

vector of x and vector of y

I know but whats a vector?

vecx( dir ) vertical movement vector (0,-1,0,1)
vecy( dir ) horizontal movement vector (-1,0,1,0)


:p

when the player is up, y is decreasing so vecy = -1, and x is staying the same so vecx = 0

when the player is right, y is staying the same so vecy = 0, and x is increasing so vecx = 1

and so on...

Someone freaking describe vectors? I read the definition, but it didn't really help me.

nevermind I think i get it more now. Old dictionaries suck.
