Err help?

[SSRobgeta]

Umm I was trying to scrip something that counts how many letters in your text you say, there are. This is kinda simple but it only works 1 time. And when I added a timeout it oviously didn't help. It's werid. I probally overlooked something but here ya go:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (created) {

  this.ctxtcount = strlen(#v(#c));;

}

if (playerchats) {

  if (this.ctxtcount=<8&&this.ctxtcount>0) {

    message good;

  }

  if (this.ctxtcount>8) {

    message bad;

  }

}

---

Thanks

and you have two ;'s after the line of code Kai just questioned.. won't really harm the script I think, but its pointless none the less (you only need one) x.x

[edit]theres another big problem in it, but I think i'll let you figure that out yourself.. hint: you're using if (created) to check the length of the players chat text[/edit]

Yea, but Kai, when I took out the (#v) it didn't work anymore. But when I leave it in, the string always stays 1? Maybe I was using the wrong command to read the number of letters?

Cheetos pointed out the biggest problem. if(created) only runs once.

SO Should I use if (timeout) there?

That depends. When do you want it to make the check?

Well, whatever the person chats, the script will make sure the text is 8 or below characters. Then it'll make the text a string and save it. And later print it out.

Well there it is. You've got it. Now tell us, what event happens when a player chats?
what function checks the length of the string?
what is the string for the players current chat text?
how do you save a string?
how do you print out a string?


And in that order.

Err first, This is just a beta test on what I can;t work out. And Couldn't you easily just read the damn script instead of making me explain it

he asked those questions to explain to you how to create your script correctly x.x

Indeed I did. :-)

All of the answers to those questions are in the script posted already. But things are a bit out of order in it. >.< Maybe he's just not used to the way graal does things.

Yea, I'm use to other Programing languages and I haven't scripted in Gscript for awhile, but I got it fixed see!

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (created || playerenters) {

  timeout = 0.1;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.ctxtcount = strlen(#c);

  if (this.ctxtcount<=8) {

    message good #v(this.ctxtcount);

  }

  if (this.ctxtcount>8) {

    message bad;

  }

  timeout = 0.1;

}

Good job, Now forget the timeout loop and use the playerchats event. :-) Save the timeout loop for something that requires one.
