Question
 

I was trying to make a staff block script where the block shows at your mouse. I was trying to figure out how to get the block to warp to the mousex and mousey only when it goes over another tile (this way you could lay the blocks evenly instead of having them clustered everwhere).

If you know what I'm talking about, then please explain.

It would be much easier to use a showimg and just clamp the x and y you display it at to 8 pixel increments (half tile) then when placed, actually use the putnpc2 to lay it.

NPC Code:

---

mx=mouse.x;  // get mouse x coordinate

my=mouse.y; // get mouse y coordinate

mx-=mx%8;  // clamp mx into 8 pixel increments by subtracting the remainder of a division by 8 (mx modulus 8)

my-=my%8;  // clamp my into 8 pixel increments by subtracting the remainder of a division by 8 (my modulus 8)



// showimg goes here using mx and my for coordinates

---

but wait, triggers are bad! =( sorry lance.

Don't be stupid. Triggeractions are an important part of scripting (so long as they are not insecurely used to circumvent basic protections against cheating).

If you continue to carry this into other threads, such posts will unceremoniously be deleted. There is no tolerance for this in the scripting forum.

Hah. :rolleyes:

Woah, harsh.

But also ironic. Do as I say, not as I do.

hahahahahahahahaha
so true
