Extra Status Bar Help!
 

Hello, Graalians and scripters alike.
I have been working on a status bar system for a friend for quite some time now. I have HP,MP and AP all up and 100% bug-free offline and online for both P2P and non-P2P servers. But, he would like to make another system, like another status bar called FP(Fire points). But i dunno how to create a string to save the FP data clientside. I tried using clint.fp, but it won't change with the bars, and/or it doesn't work, the FP doesn't register. The bars are correct, but my way of saving it as another system isn't :(

Could someone please help me! I really need to know how clientside system varible that will register kinda like a HP or MP bar(BUT NOT USING MP OR HP!)

Thanks!

I assume you mispelled the string prefix.

NPC Code:

---

setstring client.fp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.fp)) + ammount);

---

That will add an ammount to your firepoints (assuming ammount is the variable you wish to add to the firepoints.). now as for converting the string into a variable it is simple.

NPC Code:

---

variable = strtofloat(#s(client.fp));

---

If this is for p2p i would suggest you use serverside triggeractions to edit a clientr. string instead of client. since client strings are easily hacked. You can use prefixed strings on non-p2p worlds. they just work like regular strings without an NPCs server (except for the obviouse server. prefix)

[edit] I have a habbit of editing my post multiple times after i post it :( [/edit]

Ok I will try it ;)
Thanks for the help :):):)


[EDIT] It's ok to edit your posts, i have that the nerve to do that too sometimes :([/EDIT]

hmmm, did you set a variable or a string?
because client.fp = 1
is a variable, and i dont often use.
but setstring client.fp,1;
i like alot better, as i love strings

heres a sample, of like how to decrease it and increase it

// EVENT:Magic Weapon : Decreaser

NPC Code:

---

NPC Code:


if (weaponfired) {

  if (strtofloat(#s(client.fp)) >= 10) {

    setstring client.fp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.fp))-10);

    //put weapons stuff here

  }

  elseif (!strtofloat(#s(client.fp)) >= 10) {

    setplayerprop #c,You dont have enough Fire Points!;

  }

}

---

That is one way of decreasing the value.. (untested, should work)

NPC Code:

---

NPC Code:


// EVENT:Magic Fire Bean : Increaser

if (playertouchsme) {

say2 Your FP has been increased!;

  if (strtofloat(#s(client.fp)) < this.maxfp - 25) {

    setstring client.fp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.fp))+25);

 }

}

---

I think that would work.

..:| EDIT - God, im too slow again :( when did falados beat me to it? :( |:..

from R0bin

Its good to have multiple views on the situation anyhow.

(I recomment useing code tags instead of PHP. Since PHP comments inlcude # just like Perl)

x_x. Hey fal u gotta edit that other post, inlcude? Yes, I prefer using [code] too it just works better...also ther PHP thing color coding can make some parts unreadable...Also R0bin, else if not elseif...

they don't work :(

hmm... Maybe i wasn't clear, or i was unsure at the time.
But i want to to START at 100%(100) and go DOWN as you use it like HP. and then if you buy FP it goes back up.


thanks
