hitplayer
 

Someone please help. I can't get hitplayer to work with an index greater than 0. (I can't make it hit everyone in the room.) I'll give you an example, and please, tell me what I need to do to make it work.

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters)

{

  timeout = .05;

}

if (timeout)

{

  this.test = testplayer(30,30);

  hitplayer this.test,1,30,30;

  timeout = .05;

}

---

It only works for index 0 online for me. What do I need to do to hit other people?

try to use a timereverywhere in the playerenters-part

Actually, I used if (weaponfired) and it was a weapon, but that should work anyway.

Does this work?

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired) {

  for (i=0;i<playerscount;i++) 

    hitplayer i,1,playerx,playery;

}

---

Because if it does, testplayer isn't working properly, or isn't being used properly. (Since you need to add 1.5 and 2 to a players x and y respectively to make it detect the actual player.)

No, I tried that, that doesn't work, either. The problem is the hitplayer.

Re: hitplayer
 

Don't bother with a timereverywhere. Try using the debugger to see if it's the testplayer or the hitplayer that's not working. I don't know how the information would help us, but it's a start.

You could always substitute it with hitobjects, though that looks less pretty.

Re: Re: hitplayer
 

I've done a lot of debugging, and it is hitplayer that is the problem. I got testplayer to work.

Okay, I have done further testing, and I hereby conclude that hitplayer only works offline. What's the point of that?!

Want me to move this to the Bug Reports forum so Stefan'll see it?

See, I'm not sure if it is a bug or if that was the way it was meant to be. In any case, I think this kind of thing should work online. If you would move it to the bugs section, that would be great.

Okiedokie.

Oh yeah - you're not trying to use it on saints, are you?

hitplayer works like hitobjects in that it simulates a sword hit, pretty sure...

Correct, I am not trying to use it on a saint.

hmm i dunno..i hate scripting
