Level-Style Triggeractions
 

This is for a mining system. I have a trigger going from the pickaxe weapon to the clientside portion of the rock called 'MineHit'. That trigger is received perfectly fine. The problem is that I obviously need to access the Serverside portion of the rock NPC.
I triggered onActionServerside, but for some reason it's finding it on the Clientside instead of on the Serverside. None of the triggers I send are being found anywhere but the Clientside, no matter how I tweak them.

NPC Code:

---

function onActionServerside() {

  switch ( params[0] ) {



    case "Damage Rock":

    this.chat = "Hit by.."@ params[1];

    break;



  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  setShape(1,32,32);

  setImg("np_miningrocks_2.png");

  DrawUnderPlayer();

}

function onActionMineHit() {

  temp.owner = params[0];

  temp.pwr = params[1];

  triggeraction(x+1.5,y+1.5,"Serverside","Damage Rock",temp.owner); // Triggers the clientside -.-

  if ( temp.pwr > 0 ) ShowDamage( temp.pwr );

}

function onActionServerside() {

this.chat = "Called on the Clientside.";

}

function ShowDamage( damage ) {

  this.newx = this.x + random(.4,1.1);

  this.newy = this.y - .5;

  this.newalpha = .99;

  temp.subx = random(.05,.135);

  temp.suby = random(.12,.22);

  for ( i=0;i<25;i++ ) {

    this.newx += temp.subx;

    this.newy -= temp.suby;

    this.newalpha -= .05;

    showText(350,this.newx,this.newy,"Arial Narrow","bold",damage);

    changeImgColors(350,.8,0,0,this.newalpha);

    changeImgVis(350,1);

    sleep(.05);

    if ( this.newy < this.y - 3 ) {

      hideImg(350);

      break;

    }

  }

}

When the rock is hit with the pickaxe, everything works, but instead of getting the intended return 'Hit by..The_Kez' it returns 'Called on the Clientside.'

Don't use the action name "serverside" or "clientside" for normal triggers. Those two action names are for special functionality having to do with weapons.

For normal action behavior just use an action name that isn't "serverside" or "clientside" or starts with "server" as those go to the Control-NPC.
The shape needs to be set on serverside for the NPC to acknowledge the action.

Good deal, works now thanks a lot.

Best would be to define the warp details serverside, like a set function already instead of anything to fill in. This way other staff members cannot abuse this to warp anywhere with some 'level script' that triggers the NPC.

Staff members who have rights to any scripts or levels to do that normally also have warping rights anyways...

To add to that... If a staff member can edit the level, then they can just make a setlevel2 script themselves to "abuse" warping.

However, I do agree with Dan that the warp details should be set serverside, as anything clientside is potentially unsecure (i.e. Someone could use a memory editor to change the clientside details and warp anywhere they want to).

The Clientside warp details were solely for the purpose of demonstrating how to use the parameters.
