Laying a custom item

[LordMatt]

Can someone help me with laying a custom item, I just want it where if (weaponfired) it lays a custom npc at ur x and y with all the scripting in it. Can someone help?

[Torankusu]

if (weaponfired)
{ putnpc imagename.png/gif,text/scriptfile.txt,playerx,playery;
}

Hmm,

Now for a better example.

NPC Code:

---

//NPC made by Lord Vincent



if (playertouchsme) {

   toweapons Example; 

}



if (weaponfired) {

   putnpc example.gif,example.txt,playerx+1,playery+1;

}

---

btw: the example.txt has to have regular NPC coding in it, just as if you typed it in graal.

So, in the text file, you might want to have...

if (playerenters) {message Hi; sleep 1; message bye; sleep 2; destroy;
}


if you have a .txt file of your homework for science class, chances are, it wont work, lol.

I think it's
putnpc example.gif,example.txt,1,1;
no playerx='s or playery='s in it

You need playerx/y, or else it'll go to the coordinates listed in the level.
e.x:

putnpc door.gif,door.txt,30,30;
That will show the door image at the 30,30 coordinates of the level.

know whats so funny about your "better" example?
its wrong
it should be

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {

   toweapons Example; 

}



if (weaponfired) {

   putnpc example.gif,example.txt,playerx+1,playery+1;

}

---

+ not =

But not playerx/y=... you don't set a value inside a putnpc command =/

But if you want it to be there then
putnpc door.gif,door.txt,30,30;
if the right way

[AlexH]

it is

putnpc img,txtfile,x,y

so putnpc door.gif,door.txt,30,30;
would put a door at 30,30 and toran rightfully said

and putnpc example.gif,example.txt,playerx+1,playery+1;
as i said would put an example npc at playerx+1 and playery+1

I think we all know what it does and how it works but we're confusing each other by explaining it the wrong way

no ones explaing it the wrong way besides the guy who said the bit about playerx=1,playery=1

[kp_p2p]

btw in the txt, it would be better if it was if(created) not if(playerenters).

I know, but it isn't the right way when the person that started this thread asked for the playerx and playery.

this is probably for andor so use putnpc2 and you dont need the test i dont think.....i am pretty sure, thats the advantage
