this.wont work...

[theHAWKER]

I am making a agent who walks across the level then i want it to look like another agent walks across when the first is done, so i used this script:

PHP Code:

if (this.x > 63){
this.x -= 60;
} 


yet it wont work, anyone want to help me out?

Well, you need to check it when the npc is moving... Here's how!

function onMove()
{
  this.x++;
  if (this.x > 63)
  {
    this.x = 0;
  }
  schedulevent(0.05, "Move, "");
}

he still just walks into the wall
this is my whole script:

PHP Code:

// Graal2002 NPC by Stefan Knorr
if (created) {x+=.5;
  // Initialize the attributes
  showcharacter;
  setcharprop #3,head9.png;
  setcharprop #C0,white;
  setcharprop #C1,black;
  setcharprop #C2,black;
  setcharprop #C3,black;
  setcharprop #C4,black;
  setcharprop #n,Agent;
  setcharprop #2,no-shield.gif;
  shieldpower = 1;
  dir = 0;
}
if (playertouchsme) {
message FBI only!;
player.x = 26;
player.y = 41;
player.chat = "Busted.";
sleep 1.5;
message ;
}
if (created || movementfinished) {
setcharani walk,;
radangle = random(1*3.14);
dx = cos(radangle);
dy = -sin(radangle);
move dx*5,dy*5,.5,4+8+16;
}
if (this.x > 63){
this.x -= 60;
}
function onMove()
{
  this.x++;
  if (this.x > 63)
  {
    this.x = 0;
  }
  schedulevent(0.05, "Move", "");
}

Haven't tried it, but showcharacter NPCs are about 2 tiles wide and x/y are from the top-left corner. So it's probably 2 tiles further along x than you think.

Try if (this.x > 61){ }

It sends him back but he stops moving

xD nice conversion, but it dosen't work lol

[DustyPorViva]

I guess redo the move after he's warped to the otherside of the level?

[xAndrewx]

Fixed, just missed out a bracket and didn't spell scheduleevent correctly!

[killerogue]

What's stopping you people from just using move()? And setting a temp ran for x and keeping him at the same y?

[xAndrewx]

what?
