Online followplayer

[Metal-Slug]

how i make a non-showcharacter like npc follow the player ONLINE

[LilNiglet]

i think you need a npc-server for that, yah u do
and i PMd u my hed #'s here it is again just in case 857 and 534
couldnt u just use

NPC Code:

---

timeout = .05;

if (timeout){

x = playerx - 1;

y = playery;

timeout = .05;

}

---

but taht may lag a LOT

[vergil]

Once again this is an opportunity where arguments would be useful, if they were..

NPC Code:

---

function checkd(x,y) {

if (count<51) {

if (onwall(x,y)) {

count++;

if (playerdir == 0) { checkd(x,y+.1); }

if (playerdir == 1) { checkd(x-.1,y); }

if (playerdir == 2) { checkd(x,y-.1); }

if (playerdir == 3) { checkd(x+.1,y); }

}

else {

showimg 1,myimage,x,y;

}

}

}



if (created) {

myimage = "followingthing.gif";

}

if (playertouchesme) {

// Start following

timeout = .1;

this.follow = 1;

}

if (timeout) {

 if (this.follow = 1) {

  if (playerdir == 0) { checkd(x+1.5,y+4)) }

  if (playerdir == 1) { checkd(x+4,y-1.5)) }

  if (playerdir == 2) { checkd(x+1.5,y-4)) }

  if (playerdir == 3) { checkd(x-4,y-1.5)) }

 }

timeout=.1;

}

---

Presumably this will check to see if theres a wall in its way 50 times before stopping (which probably doesn't work because I'm a bad coder) and it'll make the image follow you within 4 spaces, but it's useless because i cant define arguements with functions.

It probably wouldnt work anyway (as you can see i have 0 self esteem) if I could

[Metal-Slug]

lol, still more suggestions!!

[Komieko]

Do it with #F I think =/

[Metal-Slug]

??????? how
if (created) {
#F;
}

[Komieko]

if (playerleaves){
warpto #F,playerx,playery;
}

[Metal-Slug]

make a voodoo shroomy

[Tyhm]

make a system NPC that creates an array of the last 8 playerx and playerys. Either write to it with a moving pointer or continually move every value down a notch. Showimg the npc at the last values of the array
