Online followplayer
 

how i make a non-showcharacter like npc follow the player ONLINE

i think you need a npc-server for that, yah u do
and i PMd u my hed #'s here it is again just in case 857 and 534
couldnt u just use

NPC Code:

---

timeout = .05;

if (timeout){

x = playerx - 1;

y = playery;

timeout = .05;

}

---

but taht may lag a LOT

Once again this is an opportunity where arguments would be useful, if they were..

NPC Code:

---

function checkd(x,y) {

if (count<51) {

if (onwall(x,y)) {

count++;

if (playerdir == 0) { checkd(x,y+.1); }

if (playerdir == 1) { checkd(x-.1,y); }

if (playerdir == 2) { checkd(x,y-.1); }

if (playerdir == 3) { checkd(x+.1,y); }

}

else {

showimg 1,myimage,x,y;

}

}

}



if (created) {

myimage = "followingthing.gif";

}

if (playertouchesme) {

// Start following

timeout = .1;

this.follow = 1;

}

if (timeout) {

 if (this.follow = 1) {

  if (playerdir == 0) { checkd(x+1.5,y+4)) }

  if (playerdir == 1) { checkd(x+4,y-1.5)) }

  if (playerdir == 2) { checkd(x+1.5,y-4)) }

  if (playerdir == 3) { checkd(x-4,y-1.5)) }

 }

timeout=.1;

}

Presumably this will check to see if theres a wall in its way 50 times before stopping (which probably doesn't work because I'm a bad coder) and it'll make the image follow you within 4 spaces, but it's useless because i cant define arguements with functions.

It probably wouldnt work anyway (as you can see i have 0 self esteem) if I could

lol, still more suggestions!!

Do it with #F I think =/

??????? how
if (created) {
#F;
}

if (playerleaves){
warpto #F,playerx,playery;
}

i dont want it to follow to every level, i want it to be jsut like followplayer

make a voodoo shroomy

make a system NPC that creates an array of the last 8 playerx and playerys. Either write to it with a moving pointer or continually move every value down a notch. Showimg the npc at the last values of the array

basically what a bomy pet does.

So did anyone ever figure out how to do this right??

Did anyone figure out how to get you to stop spamming...

Oh, btw, Nothar owns cheeze its!
