Warping players (Bug?)

[Emera]

I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing this wrong, but it worked a few weeks ago using this method and it's not working now. I'm basically trying to "summon" a player by sending my level, x and y to the serverside, then warping the player to the said co-ordinates. For some reason, if I'm on a gmap, it will warp the player far to the right of my co-ordinates.

This is the summon trigger.

PHP Code:

case "summon":
  with(findplayer(params[1])) {
    temp.slevel = params[2];
    temp.sx = params[3];
    temp.sy = params[4];        
    player.setlevel2(temp.slevel,temp.sx,temp.sy);
  }
break; 


and this is what I'm sending to the server.

PHP Code:

triggerserver("gui",name,"summon",wc_TextList1.selected.text,player.level,player.x,player.y); 


wc_TextList1.selected.text being a players account name.

Any ideas?

It's because clientside player.level is the singular level, whereas serverside player.level would be the map object, while player.x and player.y is relevant to your map coordinates.
You don't really need to be passing level and coordinates for a basic summon though, you could just do:

PHP Code:

case "summon":
  temp.pl = findplayer(params[1]);
  if(temp.pl == NULL){
    return;
  }
  temp.pl.setlevel2(player.level.name, player.x, player.y);
break;

Thank you so much <3

I don't think you need "player.setlevel2".. Shouldn't that be "setlevel2()" since you already focused on the player?

It's not needed but I think it's good practice.

Why? My mind is going "player.player.blah"... lol

Because it makes it clear what object is being acted upon.

You don't have to use player.level in a script—you could just use level. But then it's not clear what level you're working with. The NPC's level or the player's level?

It just makes it easier to understand.

So it's just for a person reading it to look easier? why not //player after it? Just curious is there any advantages?
