Assisstance with attachplayertoobj...
 

Hey, I am trying to make a boat thing similar to the mini-ships on graal2001....i have it all setup (setshape2 stuff) but when the player is put on it, he is not fully attached, what is wrong?

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme&&!playerattached) {

  attachplayertoobj 0,0;

  set playerattached;

  playerx=x+5.5;

  playery=y+7;

}



if (playerchats&&playerattached) {

  if (strequals(#c,leave)) {

    detachplayer;

    unset playerattached;

    playerx=x;

    playery=y;

  }

---

i know that I must be doing something wrong, so I would appreciate it if someone could help me with it, thanks :D

attachplayertoobj 0,id;

attaches the player to the current npc (identified by id) (as long as it's in the format playerindex, npcindex)

Jadis:

What does attachtoobj do?

it sets a flag if (playerattached);

But why would that help? Couldn't you just set a flag instead of using attach player?
Or does it move the player along with the npc's movements?

I know that, I just want to know why it isn't working :/

it should attach the player, but I am assuming that I gave it the wrong id...but how do i find out the npc's id?

no, you actually use 'id' as the variable

so you are saying to put 'id' in the final spot?

i tried it......yay it worked :D

thanks for your help kyle :)

no problem

lol! yes, you literally put "id"

erm, I have already taken care of it thank you ;)

Isn't 0 the only current id you can use (0 for npc)?

naw...try this:

NPC Code:

---

if (created) message #v(id);

---

every NPC on the server (or offline for that matter) is given an index, in order of creation I think. When I tried that offline my NPCs had indexes in the thousands...

in the thousands :eek:
