onActionGrab

[pig132]

I dont see why this doesnt work..

NPC Code:

---

function onActionserverside() {

  this.join("door");

}

//#CLIETNSIDE

function onActionGrab() {

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,test;

}

---

I also tried:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIETNSIDE

function onActionGrab() {

  this.join("door");

}

---

Could someone help me? I'm not sure what it is, but i think actiongrab is messed up, if (actiongrab) also doesnt work

I'm gonna have to say it's not working because it doesn't exist.

The action of Grab is usually made custom. You can try something like this - it doesnt allow you to hold down A and must/should be in a timeout.

PHP Code:

  if (keydown(6))
  {
    if (this.grab == false && player.ani == "grab")
    {
      triggeraction(player.x + 1.5 + vecx(player.dir)*2, player.y + 1.5 + vecy(player.dir)*2, "grab", player.account, player.guild);
      this.grab = true;
    }
  }
  else this.grab = false;

The "grab" event is not built-in, the script wouldn't work anyway though since a triggeraction with "serverside" is for sending a trigger to a serverside weapon script.

Also why didn't he just do join("door");

Because this.join("door"); is nice and implies scope.

I mean over the ENTIRE script he didnt need to trigger the server to join it x.x

Perhaps he is using a state-approach, where he joins a class in one state, and another class in another.

Example:

PHP Code:

// CLASSES/State1
function DoSomething() {
  echo("Currently in State 1.");
}

function LeavingState() {
  echo("Leaving State 1");
}

function JoiningState() {
  echo("Joining State 1");
} 


PHP Code:

// CLASSES/State2
function DoSomething() {
  echo("Currently in State 2.");
}

function LeavingState() {
  echo("Leaving State 2");
}

function JoiningState() {
  echo("Joining State 2");
} 


PHP Code:

// Some Object
function onCreated() {
  SetState(1);
}

function onPlayerChats() {
  if(player.chat.starts("/changestate")) {
    temp.state = (temp.state == 1 ? 2 : 1);
    SetState(temp.state);
  } else if(player.chat.starts("/dosomething")) {
    this.DoSomething();
  }
}

function SetState(stateNum) {
  if(this.state in |1,2|) {
    temp.oldstate = this.state;
    this.LeavingState();
    this.leave("State" @ temp.oldstate);
  }

  this.state = stateNum;
  this.join("State" @ this.state);
  this.JoiningState();
}

Being that ActionGrab doesn't exist try just using the keydown command along with playertouchsme.

i.e.

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
if (keydown(4)) {
stuff
}
}

(I'm relatively sure the #4 = D I dunno what A is, but once you find that out it should work no problem).

why don't do something like:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onKeyPressed(code, key) 
{
  switch(key)
  {
    case "a":
      temp.gx = player.x + 1.5 + vecx(player.dir) * 2;
      temp.gy = player.y + 2 + vecy(player.dir )* 2;
      triggeraction(temp.gx, temp.gy, "Grab", player.account, player.guild);
    break;
  }
} 


PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionGrab(acct, guild)
{
  hide();
  sleep(3);
  show();
} 


and with the parametres in ActionGrab(acct, guild) you can make a protection system for example
(the function "onActionGrab" can go in a class or an level npc too,
and the onKeyPressed could be added like an system, like -Grab?)

You don't need to add the player's details into a triggeraction... (player.account, player.guild etc)

Correct, just use actionplayer to find it out.
