getplayer

[talkingnoodle]

with(getplayer(params[1])) ..ive tried that and it doesnt work on gs2...is there another way instead of getplayer() now in GS2?

[napo_p2p]

findplayer

[talkingnoodle]

with(findPlayer(params[1])){

//

}

[Damix2]

Don't need to use with?

Code taken out by Damix =D

Ok Stefan, I'm still learning too

[talkingnoodle]

NPC Code:

---

if (params[0] == "kills"){

findplayer(params[1]).player.chat = "You have killed "@params[2]@"";

findplayer(params[1]).setstring("clientr.kills",player.clientr.kills+1  );

}

---

Message in RC:

error: setstring(varname,string) is not an object function at line 10: findplayer(params[1]).setstring(clientr.kills,player.clientr.kills+1);

Huh. That's findPlayer(account).say2("Heya").

That means that you're using setstring() as an object function (in this case, the object being the player you're findplayer()ing), where it isn't applicable.

Why not just use findPlayer(account).clientr.kills ++?

Additionally,
temp.player = findplayer(params[1]);
temp.player.chat = "foo";
temp.player.clientr.kills ++;

Certainly findplayer acts internally like getplayer in GS1, which, as we know, can produce quite some lag if used too often.

findplayer/getplayer are quite fast though May be some mod should delete/edit the posts which contain all that bad code x-x

I am curious; if you call findplayer() multiple times for the same person, will there be any difference than when you store the result in an object? I'm guessing there is, but I want to know for sure. Example:

Would
plyr = findplayer("Stefan");
plyr.rupees++;
plyr.bombs++;

be faster than

findplayer("Stefan").rupees++;
findplayer("Stefan").bombs++;

The first looks nicer anyway

really.. you can do object.var = object? didn't know that!

I wonder how many times i've done t = temp;
