Player x y Serverside

How can I detect "a" player's x y coordinates on serverside, I've tried a few method none to seem to work properly.

The X and Y attributes of a player are accessible through the player's object, like on the clientside, i.e. player.x, findPlayer("Skyld").x, etc.

right, but I'm talking about if the player just walks by the NPC (it's a Class actually) I tried FindNearestPlayer but had no luck

Hmm, I'd do it this way...

HTML Code:

function onCreated()

{

  this.setShape(1, 32, 32);

}

function onActionDetected()

{

  //Your thing, use actionPlayer to find out whom did it

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerEnters()

{

  this.onTimeout();

}

function onTimeout()

{

  if (player.x in |this.x - 5, this.x + 5| && player.y in |this.y - 5, this.y + 5|)

  {

    triggeraction(this.x, this.y, "Detected", "");

  }

  setTimer(0.05);

}

And try to prevent it from sending a trigger every 0.05 seconds...

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( inrange )
  {
  if ( !wasinrange )
    trigger...
  wasinrange = true;
  } else wasinrange = false;

Yes, I do recommend doing that

Thanks guys! :D I'll go test this now

EDIT: No, not working still :/

Novo	06-02-2007 03:56 AM

triggeraction(this.x+0.5, this.y+0.5, "Detected", ""); ?
I don't know if the trigger is inclusive or exclusive on the border region.

well, it's a class so triggeraction act different I think, O.o Eh, it's beyond my knowledge :[

Triggeractions don't act differently. You just can't use triggerserver or triggerclient inside of classes.

so triggeraction ( 0, 0, "serverside", this.name, "Foo"); Would send "Foo" to the serverside of a class? :/ If so, it doesnt for me.

Can't communicate server<>client with classes. Only with weapons/gui's.

Thought so, but, you can save vars to this.attr[#]; and communicate that way but takes alot CPU sometimes.

NPCs can... Using the x/y coordinates of the NPC on the level. It requires setShape to be set, however.

Hmm, I never considered actually triggering itself like that. Does that actually work, confirmed? I've heard a lot of theories on how to do it and I've tried many different ways, and nothing ever worked. And if it is true, can you do so from serverside > clientside?

Sucks, and maybe communication for NPCs will be added soon.

I'm quite sure you can't do the inverse... But from client to server, yes, it works... From server to client, I'm not quite sure.

Uh, you can use triggeractions and catch the events with a clientside or serverside in classes.

Like:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerside() {
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  triggeraction(x,y,"Serverside",NULL);
}

Try something like this

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

  setshape( 1, 32, 32 );

}

function onActionNear( acc )

{

  chat = acc SPC "is near me!";

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  setTimer( .1 );

}

function onTimeOut()

{

  if ( player.x in | this.x - 1, this.x + 2 | && player.y in | this.y - 2, this.y + 1 | )

  {

    triggeraction( this.x + .5, this.y + .5, "Near", player.account );

  }

  setTimer( .1 );

}
