Playing Mids on Gmap

I have a script which plays mids on the overworld. Well, for some reason you only hear the sounds if you go into a room, and then go back outside. And it will only play that sound for that level.

Anyway, hopefully someone knows a fix.

I am using stef midis. (stef3/27/32/51 etc.. )
Using play("stef32.mid"); for example.

If you know a fix, don't be scared, please reply. :O

Use a system NPC to play the music for each level.

PHP Code:


		
			
this.midi = {"stef3", "stef23", "stef7"};

this.midi.stef3 = {"level2.nw", "level3.nw", "level4.nw"};

this.midi.stef23 = {"level5.nw", "level6.nw", "level7.nw", "level8.nw"};

this.midi.stef7 = {"level9.nw", "level10.nw"};

for (a: this.midi) {

  if (makevar("this.midi." @ a).index(player.level) >= 0) playlooped(a @ ".mid");

}

  if (makevar("this.midi." @ a).index(player.level) >= 0) playlooped(a @ ".mid");

}

I never understood your obsession with makevar().

("this.midi." @ a) has only worked for me once.

this.midi.(@ a) or so.

Hmm, can you explain exactly what 'makevar' does? It sounds like it would make a variable, but why make a variable that already exists?

this.blahani = "carrystill";

this.pblah = "ani";

this.pani = "blah";

setani(makevar(this.pani @ this.pblah),null);

would inevitably give you carrystill. old gscript equivalent of #s(#s(something))

It takes a string and returns the variable that the string indicates.

So, it merges the variables together?

It takes a string value (the string value can be stored in variables), and returns the variable of the name of the string value.

Well, a link to the variable.

It is infinitely clearer than the obscure this.(@) thing!

I disagree. I find it easier to read over and recognise variable prefixes to identify variables than seeing "makevar".

Well, your opinion is wrong.
Clearly.

makevar is easier for writing.
this.(@) thing is easier for reading.
makevar, however, is a lot more flexible.

That is 100% your opinion.

How do you figure?

this.(@) is also technically more efficient I believe, as it is not a function like makevar.

Yen	03-25-2006 09:28 PM

...
When I use this.(@), it's trying to call the function of whatever follows the @.

KuJi	03-25-2006 09:46 PM

Hmm, can someone post a small portion of a script using makevar with some sort of output? I could probally get it then, else, I've heard about 15 diff things lol.

Simplest Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onWeaponFired() {

  this.orangeboogaloo = "hahahhaha";

  player.chat = makevar("this.orangeboogaloo");

}

}

>_> That's not a good use of makevar.
Let's say an NPC logs how many times a player enters a level.
When the player says '/showtimes,' it tells them how many times they've been in.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerEnters() {

  makevar("this.timesentered_" @ player.account)++;

}



function onPlayerChats() {

  if (player.chat == "/showtimes") player.chat = makevar("this.timesentered_" @ player.account);

}

When a player enters the level, it adds 1 to 'this.timesentered_<their account>'
So when I enter, it increases this.timesentered_Yen by 1.

Can't I just did it regularly then? It isn't really needed then :O.
