GPS or Cameras
 

just a question,
would it be relativly possable to script a system where you can sit at a computer, liek a graal graphic, and then say a persons name, then it goes to the level that person is in, shows them, and follows them, that would be GPS (Global Position Satelight)
or the camera would be it just goes side to side like a camera scanning the area, and you could switch from camera to camera
anyways i am wondering if thiese scripts are humanly possable or if tehy are somthing only kai would be able to do ;P

It wouldn't be that hard I would think.

But I don't know if you can use setfocus on a different level or not. If so it should be easy.

if it's easy.....
i will pay you in graal bomy moon gralats
10k if you do both of the scripts
5k for just 1?
:D

Um..., I work there....

i know you work there trevor, ;P
as do i
but i am just looking for a scripter to script this, i don't know what i can pay with, perhaps cyber plesure with my words or somthing, i dunno what do you want?
lag would be fine, just as long as it worked XD

How so then? Unless when you use the computer, it finds the player and warps you to player's level and stuff of that nature.


Added note: Isn't this asking for a script, which means this thread should be closed?

Thats what I thought. I couldn't remember another param to change the level name but I wasn't 100% sure and I didn't want to get this guys hopes down :\



Find someone then. I am to busy with other jobs at the moment.

i am not asking for the script SC, i am just looking for a scripter to script it

But why would you pay just to have someone script it?

becuase i can not script it myself, i am just looking for a needle in a haystack.

Time... What a poor excuse.

:P

setfocus and levels
 

as far as I am aware tht setfocus works with only x and y - hence the available parameter. but has anyone actually bothered tryin somethnig like setfocus2 x,y,level; but I don't know if it even exists. so thats not much good really uinless it is a NPCserver command. someone - it would be worth trying though. ;)

Just my two cents.. but.. i've tried making an NPC that displays the player & 5x5 tiles around them.. it turned out to be EXTREMELY laggy, and it would only display the tiles from the level I was currently in, not the tiles the target player was in (yeah, I tried fixing it, tried lots of methods, I don't think its possible to get tiles from another player)

that would probably be just as laggy as using a short timeout x.x warping is serverside for db npcs, & you'd have to do it often to get it to look right

I think npcs on gmaps can use warpto ._.

ok ok ok!
new thing, how about a GPS that just takes a picture
i thought about it and the real government ones they use to spy on ME witch don't record film, they just take snapshots, how about one that will take a snapshot of the player and the level he is in and show it to you, would that be easyer <3?

he thought you ment that it would copy the board array every loop, instead of what you ment was it would copy the board array every level change (yes the entire board, not just the 5x5 tiles around the player)

I do beleive they done this on Frolic, cause Angel warped Me Into the staff place and we were Watching UltimaHunter Running around lol really funny, so It's defiantely possible, could you maybe use triggeraction or something of the sort and like if (actionbleh){
tilearray[1]={tehsexers};
}
of some sort and It sends it back to the other npcs triggers another actions dunno lol.

Thats tells him absolutely nothing....

this post, and all your others didn't/won't help him either.
Don't say anything about helping, cause chicken was doing the same (or trying).

Their should be a new script :P
setfocus2 x,y,lvname.graal or .nw

me and tb3 made a spy system that got that showed the tiles around the player

it was neat and fun to do =)

I think Jagen already made something like it.
I remember when I was staff on Maloria,He made a 'Spy' NPC,but it can just see the player,not the level.

yes, i know this
they also have the spy NPC on graal2001
but that doesn't really help becuase we need the surroundings so we can tell where they are XD
