putnpc2 problem

PHP Code:


		
			
public function dropItem(id)

{

  temp.n = "object_item";



  with(findplayer("Chompy")) {

    with(putnpc2(30, 30, "this.join(\"" @ n @ "\" );")) {

      ...

    }

  }

}

I'm doing this from a weapon npc..
Any reason why this won't work?

Or do I have to change the npcs array (with(npcs[npcs.size() - 1]))?

Or is there any other methods?

It would be nice to know what doesn't work.

I'm personally not a fan about double-with's... Nor am I a fan of 'temp.n' mysteriously becoming 'n'.

It could be on a gmap, and showing at the top-left corner... As for the npcs array trick, that was before putnpc2 returned an object.

How I usually do it is:

PHP Code:


		
			
public function dropItem( id )
  {
  temp.n = "object_item";

  temp.obj = putnpc2( 30, 30, "" );
  temp.obj.join( temp.n );
  // ...
  }

Oh yeah, the error was it would just return an error in rc.. :(

And, with your example I could do

PHP Code:


		
			
public function dropItem(id)
{
  temp.obj = putnpc2(30, 30, "");
  temp.obj.join("class name");
  temp.obj.id = id;
}

and then I would be able to do this.id in the class and return the id gived to the function dropItem?

Edit: Doesn't work in a WNPC :(

id is a reserved variable. You can't overwrite it. ( Or is that npcid? or name? I'm not sure anymore. )

id is a static variable in TServerPlayer and TServerNPC.
name is static in TGraalVar (everything).

But, I still have the problem..
Inver told me to do level.putnpc2()

When using that no errors occured in rc, but it wouldn't put the class in the level

Problem solved:
two methods works: (Thanks Inver for the level.putnpc2())

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.obj = findplayer(this.acct).level.putnpc2(30, 30, "");
temp.obj.join("classname");
temp.obj.var = "foo";

PHP Code:


		
			
with(findplayer(this.acct)) {
  temp.obj = this.level.putnpc2(30, 30, "");
  temp.obj.join("classname");
  temp.obj.var = "foo";
}

You can't "put a class in a level" (well, I guess you could do level.join(class) but that isn't what we are talking about). When you use join() you are only telling the script to append what is in the class to the current script. Of course it will overwrite function definitions and stuff but in essence, that is all that it is doing.

Classes are not objects.

Hmm, you're right, I think I meant something more the lines of
"It didn't put the npc that had the class joined to itself at the given coords"

but it's fixed now :o
