Infamous, tileset/NPC trouble..

Hello, I would like some help from the global script team, there seems to be a problem with the NPC-Server on infamous...

I created a weapon, -System/Core and placed in it the following code:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide(cmd)

{

  echo("Hai");

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() 

{

  removetiledefs();

  addtiledef("pokeSMOT_InfamousTiles.png", "infamous_" , 0);

  loadmap("Infamous.gmap");

  triggerServer("gui",name,"d00d");

}



function onPlayerchats()

{

  if(player.chat=="/reconnect")

  {

    serverwarp("Infamous");

  }

}

The onCreated() function is not called, thus the serverside function i was using to test the onCreated() call was also not called.

Mind me if there is some stupid mistake i made, having some IRL trouble and am not really myself right now...

Should be triggerserver("gui",this.name,"d00d");
of course, you can make it triggerServer, doesn't matter xD

make sure that the weapon is being added to the players upon login.

It is being added, and the triggerserver isn't important, just a way to see if onCreated() was being called, it's the addtiledef() that is important.

use "/find pokeSMOT_InfamousTiles.png" in rc, to check if it's found and/or downloadable

Generally don't use capitalization in Graal file names.

I would change the gmap so it doesn't use capitalization as well.

And also, REMOVE THE LOADMAP! That is for offline only! IT SHOULDN'T BE USED ON A SERVER! Add the name of the gmap to gmaps= in the server options.

And I've found that removeTileDefs() only seems to work if you put a "" inside, but they may have fixed it.

Well it's been said, make sure the player actually has the weapon(it's case sensitive, by the way). You can't put 'Weapon' in the players weapon list when the weapon is called 'weapon'.
Also, you can easily check and see if onCreated is being called by putting player.chat="test" in there.

Yes do that first. Also removetiledefs() takes one parameter. You would need to put removetiledefs("");

I didn't add the loadmap, it was questionable to me, but i thought poke had his reasons :P

Anyways ill try what you guys said and see if it works...

Edit: I checked, it is there AND downloadable, then i checked my graal/levels/tiledefs folder, the tile set isn't even being set.

are you sure that the weapon is being added to the player?

This is because (I think) the tiles are not named properly. Tiles have to have the word 'tileset' in there name for them to load to the Graal folder properly. Try re-naming the tiles to 'pokesmot_infamous-tileset1.png' or soemthing along those lines.

no, not true.
My tileset was always named something along the lines of
quian_new.png or w/e

warmaster, try to catch me on AEON sometime, and I'll be glad to help you out personally.

Is this just your personality? I've been told by everyone NEVER use it online. You could ... I don't know ... tell me instead of just be rude about it ...

Where did I ever say I didn't know how to read the Wiki? "Not knowing how" and "not reading every page" are completely different things ...

My apologies for the rudeness, it comes naturally and I get rather incensed when people give bad advice when it comes to things like scripting.

Well then, "everyone" is wrong because I've always used it online and it works just fine. I would like to know who "everyone" is and who told them that.

And another thing, there is no reason for loadmap to be just for offline considering:

Which invalidates any reason for loadmap being offline only if this method exists. This method is actually better since you don't have to bother having the script in the level.

Good lord. Where do you people get your information from? That is completely WRONG.

Hmm? I don't remember saying anything like that.

I would recommend using this.name instead of just 'name' I had a case where using that actually fixed an odd bug which I believe was with the engine itself.

For speeding up the entering of maps you can preload gmaps on clientside using the script command "loadmap <mapname>;". This is actually not required, but will reduce the loading time when the player is warped onto the map.

The gmaps server option is mainly so the server can know what the gmaps are, not for the client.

By the way, if you're going to leave me negative rep, be nice and leave your name. :D
