Global Functions

[Velox Cruentus]

A nifty addition to the game would be able to establish functions on a global scope (Functions accessible to all npcs).
Maybe have all NPCs automatically run this on creation: "function onCreated() this.join("globalfunc");"

This would be very appreciated, and quite useful.

e.g.:

PHP Code:

CLASS_GlobalFunc
function reportIn()
{
  echo("Reporting " @ this.id @ " in " @ this.level @ "(" @ this.x @ "," @ this.y @ ").");
} 


&

PHP Code:

LOCAL_NPC
function onCreated()
{
  reportIn();
}

It would be easier to make a functionlibrary class and have a player.weapons loop, with findweapon, and with a join() function. You can use the function 'isinclass(str)' to check to see if the weapon is already in the class. Have a clientside part of the script run, while watching a checksum of the weapons to see if any changes have been made, and if so, run the serverside loop to join every weapon to the class.

Worth a try.

Ooor we could just have a global functions class that's automatically joined.. >_>
But yeah, I'd love to have a globally joined class.


I'd also like to see the ability to join classes with clientside functions to a player, so we can call them without going to the serverside..

PHP Code:

Player-joined class
//#CLIENTSIDE
public function Dist(myx,myy,gotox,gotoy) {
  distx = gotox - myx;
  disty = gotoy - myy;
  return (distx^2 + disty^2) ^ .5;
} 


PHP Code:

NPC Weapon
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponfired() {
  somex = int(random(0,64));
  somey = int(random(0,64));
  player.chat = player.Dist(player.x,player.y,somex,somey);
} 


-Coughs.- Aaanyway..

How about making it so public functions in the Control-NPC can be called without using ("Control-NPC").function();

[coreys]

public function already exists. it has for a while, my friend yaharii has used it many times.

Hmm, I'm gonna mess around with those functions out of boredom and i have no one on my server execpt Idling staff members. =] So for no complaining of what i do, eh?
