NPC - annoying sound by XY change

[FireHunter]

Well I often played Graal without music enabled + I never payed attention to it but ...

If you change the x and y coordinate of an Image-NPC it does an anoying sound similar to the first frame of the walk gani

Any ideas of how to fix that ?

Hm...

Never heard of something like this.

How exactly are you changing it? Simply changing the variables shouldn't do this.

[FireHunter]

for example a dbNPC:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.image = "block.png";
  setTimer( 0.05 );
}

function onTimeout() {
  this.x += 0.01;
  setTimer( 0.05 );
} 


[Pelikano]

Well, Serverside you should do setTimer(0.1), other than that I have no idea what the problem could be.

hmm the sleep time is not the problem in here :-/

Not really, no, but the server only executes 10 frames a second, which results in a minimum sleep time of one tenth of a second.

Anyway, I know what you mean, and I guess it has something to do with the way how the walk sounds are hard coded into the client. As far as I know though, they only play for moving image npcs when they are moved serverside. I'm not sure about it, and I was not successful looking for any workarounds yet

Yes, npcs make a movement sound if you change the positions on server-side and the classic system is not disabled (kingdoms, zone),
you can use move() however

Why isn't there a server option or so to do this in normal servers?

/agree

Well thx for the answers / help - didnt knowed that move(); doesnt do the annoying sound o.O
But I think its more smart just putting the sound off if I want a direct position change xD

PHP Code:

temp.targetx = 20; // the X pos on the level
temp.targety = 20; // the Y pos on the level

temp.distx = temp.targetx - this.x;
temp.disty = temp.targety - this.y;

move( temp.distx, temp.disty, 0, 0 );

Why do NPCs make a noise when moved in the first place? That stuff should have been phased out with ganis.
