Need CS/SS help!
 

I just want info on client/serverside, because I STILL don't get it. So, I want a VERY good scripter(like Kai) to change this example script to one that would work on an NPC server.

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {

  toweapons 4-Way Bow;

  hide;

}

if (weaponfired) {

  if (playerdarts=>4) {

    shootarrow 0;

    shootarrow 1;

    shootarrow 2;

    shootarrow 3;

    playerdarts-=4;

  }

}

---

I apologize for the relatively long script, I'm just making as simple as possible, not that you can't handle it, though.

Use addweapon, not toweapons.

And the entire weaponfired block can go clientside. Don't ask for full scripts.

Well geez! I'm asking for help! Every single way I try to get it, I don't understand it! Oh, and exactly what is the difference between addweapons and toweapons?

toweapons is only for offline use. If used online it will disconnect the player, with a message to rc: "accountname added a weapon (hacker?)"

addweapon is for use with an NPC-Server. Add the weapon to the NPC Weapon List and use addweapon.

The if (playertouchsme) part has to go in an NPC in a level... The if (weaponfired) part goes in the weapon's database on your NPC sever... And you can't use toweapons, as had been said before.

never put CS in your thread title and not mention Counterstrike at all during your post.... you got me all excited :grrr:

*cough* Classic *cough*
We're special. :)

Not for long you hairy ingrates!

:D

for (i=0;i<4;i++;) {
shootarrow i;
}

"is your friend."

I guess the use of toweapons here is justified as I doubt that the original poster has NC access anywhere... ?

Classic is like multiplayer-offline :p

Re: Need CS/SS help!
 

For online play you will need to put a NPC into a level with addweapon instead of toweapons and it must be serverside.

Everything under //#CLIENTSIDE is clientside and everything above it is serverside.

example:

NPC Code:

---

if(playertouchsme)

  addweapon your weapon;

---

--

Your weapon script will go into the weapons database and will have to be clientside.

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(weaponfired && playerdarts >= 4){

  for(i = 0; i < 4; i ++)

    shootarrow i;

  triggeraction 0,0,serverdarts,sub,4; // *1 (refer to notes below)

}



/*  *\

Notes:

1. triggers an action to the control.

Inside the control there will be a section that will say

if(actionserverdarts){

  if(strequals(#p(0),sub))

    playerdarts -= strtofloat(#p(1));

  }

}

You will have to modify your script to work.

There are other ways to subtract arrows other than the example I provided. What you may need is that old npcserver.doc
Search the forums and you should be able to find it.

Why link removing darts to Control-NPC x-x. It's more organized to have it with the weapon instead.

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) playerdarts--;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired)  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,<replace with weapon name>,;

---

Multiplayer-offline. *Remembers* Those were the fun days. :)

#1. LMAO

#2. This is an NPC forum. Not the CS Forums.

*sighs* I guess client/serverside stuff is just too much for me. At this rate, I'm never going to learn anything about it...

I learned how to script as much as I can by picking any script I got my hands on apart :)

Re: Re: Need CS/SS help!
 

I am pretty sure that playerdarts can be edited clientside; and either way, your serversided changing mechanism would have the same effect as allowing it clientside.
Also, I think I remember that when a clientside NPC does shootarrow, the NPC server automatically decrements the playerdarts variable accordingly.

Re: Re: Need CS/SS help!
 

*slaps*

Don't do that. Teach how to do it in the weapon. It's a great deal more secure.

Let me help.

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside){

  if (strequals(#p(0),fired)){

    playerdarts -= 4;

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE



if (weaponfired){

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,weaponname,fired;

}

---

pointless if loriel is correct. But it is important for all the other stuff you can't edit clientside.

Re: Need CS/SS help!
 

Use >= and not => o.o;

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playertouchsme){

addweapon 4-Way Bow;

destroy;

}

---

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside){

if (strequals(#p(0),bow)){

if (strequals(#p(1),4way)){

//shoot stuff

}

}

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired){

if (playerdarts>=4){

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,bow,4way;

}

}

Not familiar with NPCserver neither, so...

Well don't confuse the poor boy!
If he uses that he's definitly gonna have problems.

If you're going to use code tags please indent.

Re: Re: Re: Need CS/SS help!
 

On Frolic and End of Ages the players arrows never reduced. They would go down, but then it would go back to being the same. They only reduced when I did it serverside, and yeah I'm sorry about the thing with the Cnpc.
I probably confused the hell out of the guy. :(

I'll test to see if it works clientside again.

..Or for servers wich don't have an NPC-Server.

...which is why I posted what I did. ;)

I can use => if I want to, because it doesn't seem to present any problem.

I probably didn't read your post, sorry. :)

No big deal. I was just stating the obvious, like everyone else likes to do. :P

but.. >= is bigger or equals.. and <= is smaller or equals...... and... my little accounting brain is so hard-wired that it explodes at the mere thought of doing it your way.

To the batmobile, r0bin!

Lance got angry when i posted the wrong way in a tutorial ^^
It's easy to remember: >= looks like an ebil face.

Oh you are so going down tigger *****.

I got all worked up too. :(
