- - using 'move()' (https://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85584)

I know the params, but what are the options to the flags (8+16) etc, I can't find them on the wiki....... thanks

Options: cachetype(0,1,2) + blockcheck(4) + eventwhendone(8) + applydir(16)

There are also nice options to makes things very simple:
- cachingmode:
- 0: previous movements will be finished immediatelly
- 1: movements will be cached, the previous movements
will only be finished when the cache is too large
(distance to go >5);
this caching can be used on server-side npcs to
make the movement look like non-laggy even when
there are little delays sometimes
- 2: the movement will just be appended to the movement
list; you can add up to 100 movements
- blockcheck: add 4 to the options when you want the
npc to stop when there is a wall blocking the npc
- informmewhendone: if you add 8 to the options then the
script will be called with a 'movementfinished' flag
when the the npc has stopped walking; catch this event
with
if (movementfinished) {...}
if you want to do something when the npc has stopped
(e.g. walking in a different direction)
- applydirection: add 16 to the options if you want the
game to automatically set the direction of the npc
depending on the movement direction (can be good
when using movement caching)

I'll add something about it to the wiki when I get the chance.

This might make it a bit more clear.

An API reference that does not have a separate section for each function explaining the exact semantics of each parameter and the return value and whatever is a lousy API reference.

Thanks guys- just what I needed :)

Once an object has moved and is triggering to the server
has anyone else had any problems with using triggeraction?

It only seems to detect the object once it's finished moving and on a wall, if
it's on a non-blocking tile it's as though the trigger action isn't sent, any ideas?

The object itself is blocking? If it's using a gani then make sure it's using showcharacter or setshape.

HTML Code:

//Serverside

function onCreated() {

  this.showcharacter();

  this.ani = "gani";

    //Auto destroy in 15

  setTimer(15);

}



function onTimeout() {

  this.destroy();

}

function onActionTakeDart() {

  this.destroy();

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  this.showcharacter();

}

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {

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

}

no reason..

On your serverside onCreated() put a setshape(1,32,32);

Then on your clientside triggeraction make it hit, this.x + 1 and this.y + 1.

Depends how big your object is of course...

Well why don't you just put onPlayerTouchsMe() on the serverside.

Various reasons- already tried lol

It's stopped moving once the trigger is sent
