carrying

[MattKan]

I'm trying to figure out how to make it so players can carry things.

When I pick up a sign or bush, I see that my gani becomes "carrystill". Since they are both the same, I assume there is a variable to decides the image name of the object the player is carrying. Is anyone familiar with the name of this variable?

I believe the player attribute for the carry image is player.attr[3].

So, if you did something like:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  player.attr[3] = "bomb.png";
  replaceani("idle", "carrystill");
  replaceani("walk", "carry");
} 


Your player would appear to be carrying a bomb. :P

Well you won´t get out of it until you reconnect and the attribute will still be the bomb.png i guess
I think you should do something like:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired(){
  if(this.on = false){
    this.on = true;
    player.attr[3] = "bomb.png";
    replaceani("idle", "carrystill");
    replaceani("walk", "carry");
  }else{
    this.on = false;
    player.attr[3] = "";
    replaceani("idle","idle");
    replaceani("walk","walk");
  }
} 


Just got Trial again so I can´t test it

Use == instead of = for value checking. A single equal sign is for assigning values for variables.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired(){
  if(this.on == false){
    this.on = true;
    player.attr[3] = "bomb.png";
    replaceani("idle", "carrystill");
    replaceani("walk", "carry");
  }else{
    this.on = false;
    player.attr[3] = "";
    replaceani("idle","idle");
    replaceani("walk","walk");
  }
} 


In this case, you could also use

PHP Code:

if (! this.on) {

Thanks and thanks to the other people too....

Does anyone know the gani name for dropping the attr[3] (ie throwing the bomb or bush on the ground)

[MattKan]

Oh, and on another note, (don't want to make an entirely different thread) how would I make music play from a url?

You could do it by script. Check if the player's current gani is carry or carrystill and if grab key is pressed. Then revert the player's ganis to idle and walk and throw whatever he's carrying as attr[3] in the player's direction.

Yeah but is there a gani to throw what he's carrying?

There is no throw gani. There are only carry ganis and lifting, and lifting doesn't use player.attr[3] so you'd have to create a custom lift gani to use it.

Oh ok. Thanks
