Trigger Action

[lordhelmut]

Anyone feel like explaining how to use triggeraction to me? I cant find anywhere that explains it and shows u how to use it.

[ownerofbabylon]

all I know is that it makes stuff happen :o

[KJS]

here is a good example...

NPC Code:

---

    triggeraction 1,1,warp,;

---

then put this coding in npc #2

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

  setshape 1,32,32;

if (actionwarp)

  setlevel2 frolic_falldown_beg.graal,34,30;

---

make sure this npc is at the x and y of 0,0

and make sure the picture is like bigger then 16*16 pixels (I recommand like 32*32 pixels)

oh yea make sure you dont hide it also otherwise it wont work

Trigger action causes an action to happen at a specified x/y... format:

triggeraction x,y,name,params;

A NPC can detect a triggeraction by using if (actionname ).

By the way, the triggeraction has to be at the x/y of a non-transparent, visible part of the NPC...

Now, take KJS's example. It causes an action "warp" to be happened at 1,1. The NPC at 0,0 then picks up this action with it's if (actionwarp) line, and then proceeds to warp the player.

Hmm... If two NPCs/players occupy the same space, then do both get triggered? I'm too lazy to test it myself.

Maybe it's also because your graal is too outdated?

[Slaktmaster]

Yes, it triggers both.

[ownerofbabylon]

what kinda stuff can u put into the params part of it?

[Silver Knight]

Here, I shall give an example of triggeraction.

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) toweapons Freezing-Weapon;

    if (weaponfired) {

      triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,

        playery+2+vecy(playerdir)*2,hurt,;

    }

    if (actionhurt) {

      setani hurt,;

      setplayerprop #c,Ugh;

    }

---

Okay, I will take you through it step by step.

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired) {

      triggeraction playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,

        playery+2+vecy(playerdir)*2,hurt,;

    }

---

This part sets the action at the specified location.

NPC Code:

---

playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir)*2,

        playery+2+vecy(playerdir)*2,

---

The equation states that the action will be conducted in front of the player. This equation will always make the action be conducted in the direction of the player.
The rest is self-explainatory.

Hey, my Graal has feelings too. It's not outdated; it's like a vintage wine that matures with age

Heh. That's what they all say...
