My First Code in the Gallery -spar

[theHAWKER]

Umkay, this is a spar script and you would place the npc in the center of ur spar

commands:
Focus = to turn on focus
Focus off = to turn off focus
Start = to start count down
/In = to enter spar
/out = to leave spar
End = to stop the count down

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats(){
  if (player.chat=="focus"){
    setfocus(30.5,25);//the center of ur spar
  }
  if (player.chat=="focus off"){
    resetfocus();
  }
  if(playerx>12 && playerx<52){//first x is the top left corner of ur spar quare and the second is the botem right
    if(playery>13 && playery<41){//same for here accept its y
      if (player.chat=="start"){//place this npc in the middle of ur spar
        this.chat = "You have 5 seconds untill start!";
        sleep(2);
        this.chat = "3";
        sleep(1);
        this.chat = "2";
        sleep(1);
        this.chat = "1";
        sleep(1);
        this.chat = "Spar!";
        sleep(1);
        this.chat = "Spar";
        sleep(.1);
        this.chat = "pa";
        sleep(.1);
        this.chat = "";
      }
      if (player.chat=="end"){
        this.chat = "";
      }
    }
  }
  if (player.chat=="/in"){
    enableweapons();
    disablepause();
    player.x = 30.5;//middle of ur spar
    player.y = 25.5;//middle of ur spar
  }
  if (player.chat=="/out"){
    enablepause();
    disableweapons();
    player.x = 30.5;//the out side of ur spar
    player.y = 46;//the out side of ur spar
  }
  if (player.chat=="heal"){
    player.hearts = player.fullhearts;
  }
}
function onPlayerDies(){
  player.x = 30.5;//the out side of ur spar
  player.y = 46;//the out side of ur spar
}
function onPlayerEnters(){
  enablepause();
  disableweapons();
}
function onPlayerLeaves(){
enablepause();
enableweapons();
} 


u just have to replace the x and y coordinates

A good start
I would just do something about that you can say /heal when you're inside the fighting area though

Not a bad start. There is a bracket missing at the very end of the code, but I suspect maybe you accidently cut that off when you pasted the code?

In terms of improving scripting style/optimizing the script I'd suggest looking into switch statements maybe to avoid using so many if statements for checking the chat.

ie.

PHP Code:

if (player.chat == cmd) {
  switch (cmd) {
    case "start": {
    //stuff that happens when the player says start here.
    break;
    }
    case "/in": {
    //stuff for 'in' here
    break;
    }
  }
} 


And also when you check the player's x and y for starting the spar the way you have done it is okay, but it would be better to have done:

PHP Code:

if (player.x in |12,52| && player.y in |13,41|) { 
//stuff here
}

Why is it clientside?

i dont think it works server side...

[xAndrewx]

You're aware that you can't edit your hearts clientside and once you say start, only YOU can see the message?

it works fine for me

[Twinny]

Did you test it out with anyone? You may have seen the message but since it is clientside, the other person wouldn't see anything.

As Andrew said, hearts cannot be set clientside no matter what. Triggers are needed as only serverside can right to the variable.

well good for my first almost working script (in GS2) xD

[ff7chocoboknight]

the first enablepause() should be disablepause()

I've noticed that this is a script from graal.net converted into GS2
