Weapon won't deactivate :(
 

For some inane reason, I cannot get my script to disable when I fire the weapon again...

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired && !timeout) {

  freezeplayer .05;

  //triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,playery+1.75+vecy(pl  ayerdir)*2,chat,;

  set client.chat;

  timeout = 0.05;

} else if (weaponfired && timeout) {

  for (this.i=0; this.i<10000; this.i++) {

    hideimg this.i-1;

  }

  unset client.chat;

}

---

I've also tried using the flag I have it set, but nothing seems to work :/

I've probably done something wrong, but I can't understand what it coud be

I wouldn't use use weaponfired in a timeout.
I would help you with the script but I have to get to school.

Re: Re: Weapon won't deactivate :(
 

I suppose you didn't read it very well, there's more to the script, I'm just not going to show it...instead of it being if (weaponfired && !timeout) {...} I was trying ...&& !client.chat) {...} I've done it before in a few other NPCs so I do not understand what is wrong :/

It'd probably be more effective if you did:

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired) {

  if (client.chat) {

    for (this.i=0; this.i<10000; this.i++) {

      hideimg this.i-1;

    }

    unset client.chat;

  }

  else {

    freezeplayer .05;

    set client.chat;

    timeout=0.05;

  }

}

Yay! I was gonna do exactly that you saved me a few minutes! :megaeek:

Thanks, but it still doesn't work :/

Here's the entire script so far:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by GregoryYoshi

if (playerenters) {

  setshape 1,32,32;

}



if (playertouchsme) {

  toweapons InterChat;

}



if (weaponfired) {

  if (client.chat) {

    for (this.i=0; this.i<10000; this.i++) {

      hideimg this.i-1;

    }

    unset client.chat;

  } else {

    showimg 500,dk_window.png,(screenwidth/4)-76,(screenheight/2)-120;

    changeimgvis 500,4;

    wraptext2 imgwidth(dk_window.png)-4,.75,,Waiting for response from other player...;

    for (this.i=0; this.i<tokenscount; this.i++) {

      showimg this.i,@#t(this.i),(screenwidth/4)-64,(screenheight/2)+(this.i*18)-112;

      changeimgzoom this.i,.75;

      changeimgvis this.i,5;

      sleep .25;

    }

    freezeplayer .05;

    set client.chat;

    timeout=0.05;

  }

}



if (timeout) {

  freezeplayer .05;

  timeout = 0.05;

}



/*

wraptext2 imgwidth(dk_window.png)-4,.75,,@#a:#K(160)#c;

for (i=0; i<10000; i++) {

hideimg i-1;

}

 */

This is an NPC I'll be adding to my PW (when it's done) that changes the way players chat on a 1on1 basis...I may just wind up putting in a keydown check routine so that players can exit the chat easily. I'll also have a special chatroom and since I hide the minimap, I may have a small window that displays toalls :)

Sorry, I've done similar NPCs and never had this problem :/

I have already posted it :/

Once I fire the weapon, I can't use 'D' again to turn it off.

>.<

I suppose I could then use disabledefmovement instead or, like I said, add in a keydown check :/

man i miss this place

o well, maybe i shall return in a few months or so, lets just watch

lol. we all miss ya man. ;)

*points out guidelines on forehead*

-FooL-

You could do this:

if (weaponfired || timeout && keydown(6))

Or whatever D button is... of course then you'd hafta do a check to make sure it didn't just cancel itself because of the timeout. *shrug*

then put it w/ a second variable. if (this.use==2) so that way have this.use==1 be the action. and like if (this.use==1&&keydown(4)) this.use=2.
