function...
 
is there a function like "function onPlayerMoves()" or something that would update the npc every time the player moves??

Chompy 05-19-2007 04:26 PM
use a loop to check the players x and y movement :)

Gambet 05-19-2007 04:32 PM
You could set two constant clientside variables that monitor the player's LAST x and y coordinates in a system NPC and then do something like:

PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onKeyPressed()
{
 for (dir = 0; dir < 4; dir++)
  {
   if (keydown(dir))
    {
     if (player.x != client.lastplayer_x || player.y != client.lastplayer_y)
      {
       //The player has moved!
      }
    }
  }
} 

theHAWKER 05-19-2007 04:33 PM
so are you saying that there isn't?

No, make your own system for it.

umkay, but there should be a built in function for that :(

onPlayermoves() wouldn't be a function: it would be an event. Also, there is no inherit action for moving. Some playerworlds don't use the default movement system for starters.

In short: I doubt there will ever be a onPlayermoves() event since it would be too limited. A keydown loop check can work for whenever the player walks or a timeout check if there are other methods of moving.

PHP Code:
// Custom Events System

//#CLIENTSIDE
// Set Default Flags
function onCreated()
{
  this.pxy = {player.x, player.y};
  this.screen = {screenwidth, screenheight};
  
  this.onTimeout();
}

function onTimeout()
{
  // function onPlayerMoved(newx, newy) { }
  if (player.x != this.pxy[0] || player.y != this.pxy[1])
  {
    this.pxy = {player.x, player.y};
    
    for (temp.var : weapons) temp.var.trigger("PlayerMoved", player.x, player.y);
  }

  // function onScreenResize(newwidth, newheight) { }
  if (screenwidth != this.screen[0] || screenheight != this.screen[1])
  {
    this.screen = {screenwidth, screenheight};
    
    for (temp.var : weapons) temp.var.trigger("ScreenResize", screenwidth, screenheight); // function onPlayerMoved(newx, newy) { }
  }
  
  setTimer(0.05);
} 
Add it to every player. I could only think of two new events, but if others can think of more, you can easily add them.

Enjoy ;)

P.S. Events only work in weapons.

GraalControl is the control that contains pretty much the Graal interface. When the window is resized, GraalControl is resized also to match, and GraalControl.onResize() is called.

Sounds cool, I guess.

If you're talking about the GraalControl object, then if you look at Ziro's post, you'll see that he altered the height/width, so I wouldn't think so.


Though, I've never used the GraalControl object except for checking whether or not it's the firstresponder.

Novo 05-20-2007 01:18 AM
I do believe it is read/write... The problem is that the content not covered by GraalControl is in YOUR duty to generate content... That is... You're responsible for the blank-spots. With that insight, it's best not to play with it unless you're doing something quite... Custom.

DustyPorViva 05-20-2007 01:37 AM
Well he may have posted the script, doesn't mean he used it, which is really why I asked. Not a big deal anyways.

Deadly_Killer 05-20-2007 03:12 AM
Yeah.. it totally messes your screen up =(

If you logon Mythic, you'll see that I've shrunken the height of it and added a hotkey bar there (which can best be seen when you press F8).

Very poor... make it set a player flag to say that the player is moving, don't send every weapon that the player has an event saying that the player has moved. Why would you even need that?

Explain why you would waste a timeout on the clientside for 0.05 for something like this.

This is the best solution without creating wasteful timeouts for events. Besides the current events do the same thing too.

Still, you've just ignored my question! Why are you checking if a player has moved?
If anything, send it to the selected weapon. You could even make it a flag.

HTML Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeout()
{
  if (player.currentPosition[0] != player.x || temp.currentPosition[1] != player.y)
  {
    player.currentPosition.clear();
    player.currentPosition.addArray(0, {player.x, player.y});
    player.isMoving = true;
  }
    else
  {
    player.isMoving = false;
  }
}
Although, a built in event would be better!

Deadly_Killer 05-22-2007 10:34 PM
What if someone needed the event for 10 weapons. Are you going to make 10 timeouts to check for the new flag.

xAndrewx 05-22-2007 10:37 PM
I'd call you retarded for having 10 different weapons to check if a person has moved.

Hypothetical situation.

xAndrewx 05-22-2007 10:44 PM
Still, I'd call you retarded! However, since you insist!
I'd be an innovator and create my own movement system, which wouldn't involve ten different weapons having the same check, I'd also create a flag which would only check if the player has moved, that is if the flag exists of cause! I'd also gloat in your face, show how it's done and also post it on video jug [I also insist that you use google for your research!] to show how optimization works!

How did you do that?

I want to do that, but I can't create GUI controls outside the GraalControl.

I think you're totally off the subject now.

  new GuiControl("Hotbar_Main") {
    width = screenwidth, height = 57;
    x = 0, y = GUIContainer.height - height;
      
    GUIContainer.addControl(this);  // Note this line in particularly

Then you're a bad scripter. Good scripters try to help the community.

This thread already seems answered enough... I help with scripting errors plenty, there is nothing for me to say otherwise here.

Fixed. :cool:

And well pride issues are gunna happen hell raven. It's what happen when every scripts a different way and think they're rather damn good at it.

I think he was refering to my comment pointing out people's lack of knowledge with GUIs.
