Triggeraction Problems

[cbk1994]

I'm using a DB NPC, I need to trigger it from a class that the DB NPC is joined to.
The DB NPC's image is block.png

Here's the trigger (clientside)

PHP Code:

triggeraction( this.x +.5, this.y +.5, "BuyWep", [...] ); 


Here's the serverside onAction thing

PHP Code:

function onActionBuyWep( [...] )
{
  player.chat = "trigger2";
  [...]
} 


What am I doing wrong?

When using triggeraction() in a class, it will go serverside..
So when on serverside in the class, use findnpc()..

Thanks for quick response, but what I'm really trying to figure out is how to do it with local NPCs. The DB NPC I made for a test (quick editing).
Basicly the local NPCs will have the exact same script ...

Have local NPCs join the class that is triggering to the DB NPC.

Use classes and join them in the Local NPC and use this code to trigger between the DB NPC and the class:

PHP Code:

triggerserver("npc", "DBName", "BuyItem", [...]);

Let me try to explain ...
screw the DB NPC.
I have a local NPC that joins the shop item class.
The class does everything right, then it triggers, but it doesn't receive the trigger on serverside.

The class do have a shape?
It needs a shape to recieve the trigger..

Posting the code does help...

I second that..

We have no idea if what you are doing serverside is correct or it does have a shape..

The class

PHP Code:

function onActionBuyWep()
{
  player.chat = "trigger2";
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  setshape( 1, 32, 32 );
  setimg( this.image );
  setTimer( 0.05 );
}
function onActionMouseClick()
{
  showGui();
  client.shopid = this.id;
}
function onMouseDown( button )
{
  if ( button == "left" )
  {
    triggeraction( mousex, mousey, "MouseClick", player.account );
  }
}
function onTimeOut()
{
  chat = this.stockamm;
  if ( this.stock == true )
  {
    this.stockamm = makevar( this.stockvar );
  }
  setTimer( 0.05 );
}
function showGUI()
{
 // GUI is here, works fine
}

function Shop_Buy.onAction()
{
  if ( client.shopid == this.id )
  {
    if ( player.rupees >= this.realprice )
    {
      triggeraction( this.x, this.y, "BuyWep");
    }
    else
    {
      player.chat = "You cannot afford this!";
    }
  }
} 


The local NPC that joins it ...

PHP Code:

join( "shoptest" );
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  this.image = "block.png";
  this.weaponname = "Items/Explosives";
  this.itemname = "Plastic Explosives";
  this.itemprice = 100;
}

Set the shape of the NPC then trigger the action on itself.
Shape must be set on serverside.
