showimg error?

[tlf288]

NPC Code:

---

function InitializeImageArrays()

{

  this.imageCount = 3; // Change this accordingly

  setarray this.imageShow,   this.imageCount; // 1 = auto show, 0 = no auto show

  setarray this.imageIndex,  this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imagePosX,   this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imagePosY,   this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imageStartX, this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imageStaryY, this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imageWidth,  this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imageHeight, this.imageCount;

  setarray this.imageLayer,  this.imageCount;



  // The main image

  this.imageShow[0]   = 1;

  this.imageIndex[0]  = 1;

  this.imagePosX[0]   = 0;

  this.imagePosY[0]   = screenheight - 118;

  this.imageStartX[0] = 0;

  this.imageStartY[0] = 71;

  this.imageWidth[0]  = 487;

  this.imageHeight[0] = 118;

  this.imageLayer[0]  = 5;



  // The HP bar

  this.imageShow[1]   = 1;

  this.imageIndex[1]  = 2;

  this.imagePosX[1]   = 15;

  this.imagePosY[1]   = screenheight - 72;

  this.imageStartX[1] = 10;

  this.imageStartY[1] = 29;

  this.imageWidth[1]  = 5;

  this.imageHeight[1] = 27;

  this.imageLayer[1]  = 4;

}



function ShowImages()

{

  for ( i = 0; i != this.imageCount; i++ )

  {

    if (this.imageShow[i] == 1)

    {

      showimg this.imageIndex[i], gui1.gif, this.imagePosX[i], this.imagePosY[i];

      changeimgpart this.imageIndex[i], this.imageStartX[i], this.imageStartY[i], this.imageWidth[i], this.imageHeight[i];

      changeimgvis this.imageIndex[i], this.imageLayer[i];

    }

  }

}

Does anyone know why this wont work? Both of there function are called when the npc gets created. The InitializeImageArrays function is called first. Then the ShowImages function.

I I set the imageCount to 1 then it doesnt cause an error, but then that defeats the whole purpose of what I am trying to do.

If it is an error in my script I just can't see what it is. What I believe is it is an error with the showimg command placed in a 'for loop'. I am just not sure so if anyone who knows what the problem is would post an answer I would greatly appreciate it.

array elements aren't called using arrayname[elementnumber]

#I(arrayname,elementnumber)

(wrong language )

But these are REAL arrays, not string arrays.


Try a timeout loop.

and intalize the arrays when created & playerenters

thats all I can come up with at a glance. (you could also try using indicies of 200 or greater instead of 1 and 2, I duno if that would help, but it makes it clientside instead of showing it for all players)

Silly Tseng, I am using "setarray" not string arrays .

I'll try that out and report back.

I didn't know indicies of 1 and 2 were clientside >.< .

10 AM, pacific standard time, is late?

No.... I sometimes don't take account for timezones.

Boil the problem down to the necessities if you want somebody to look at it.

I did. Those are the two functions I came down to. Then I removed all other set of arrays in the InitializeImageArrays besides two because it will work with one set, but starts to have problems with more than one.

And you really think all those fields are necessary? ImageLayer? ImageStartX? You should delete everything you can remove without stopping the error from occuring and, when the removal of an element does negate the error, it's a big clue as to what is wrong.

Also: 'It doesn't work' is not an error. Tell us what it does, what it doesn't do, what it's supposed to do.
