disable onPlayerTouchsMe()

[callimuc]

When I want a script to do something I simply use:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
//dostuff
} 


but how can I make it that if the player doesnt touch the npc anymore, it will stop? Like:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
setcharani("walk",null);
}
//Now the command/script I would need here. Invented one for example
function onPlayerStopsTouchingMe() {
setcharani("idle",null);
} 


I just know the

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsOther() {
//dostuff
} 


but than it will make it only, if I touch other NPC´s.

Quite vague, what're you wanting it to do exactly? You do know if you touch it, you touch it alot of times? I don't know of this would work...

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
  this.ani = "walk";
  
  cancelevents("onFinishTouch");
  scheduleevent(0.2, "onFinishTouch", "");
}

function onFinishTouch() {
  this.ani = "idle";
}

It will run "onFinishTouch" 0.2 seconds after the NPC was touched. Reduce time if needed- don't use it serverside (if possible)

There is no "Stops Touching Me" event, depending on the situation I would do something like this:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe() { 
  if (this.ani != "walk") this.setcharani("walk",null);
  setTimer(0.25); 
}

function onTimeout() {
  this.setcharani("idle", "");
} 


Provided the player continues to touch the NPC it won't timeout (because it will keep getting reset to 0.25) and go to the idle position. Maybe adjust the timer to suit your needs though.

Edit: Well... Timeout, scheduleevent, same difference.

Hmm well both won´t work.

I´m trying to make a railroad script . I´m sure there is a way more easier way, but I wanted to do it like when the player touches it, it will move the playerx, and if the player doesn´t touch it anymore, it will stop moving the player :/

Or is there maybe an easier way with the moving of the player?

Sounds like you want to disable default movement and rescript it using GraalControl.onKeyDown/onKeyUp or if (keydown(key)).

use a timeout and use checks

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{

  this.width = <WIDTH>; //In Tiles
  this.height = <HEIGHT>; //In Tiles
  onTimeout();

}

function onTimeout()
{

  if ( player.x + 1.5 in | this.x, this.width| &&
       player.y + 2.0 in | this.y, this.height| &&
       !this.touch)
  {

    this.touch = true;
    //Touch Actions

  }

  if ( !( player.x + 1.5 in | this.x, this.width|) &&
       !( player.y + 2.0 in | this.y, this.height|) &&
       this.touch)
  {

    this.touch = false;
    //Stop Touch Actions

  }

  setTimer( 0.1);

} 


replace <WIDTH> and <HEIGHT> with the NPCs width and height in tiles, not pixels. ( 1 pixel would equal ( 1 / 16), btw)

Hmm I guess I found something similiar. Didn´t test it yet but from looking around in the forums I got this idea (first off player moves from alone to the right):

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
this.image = "myimage.png";
}
function onPlayerTouchsme() {
  if (player.dir = 2) {
    if (playerx in |getimgwidth( this.image)| && playery in |getimgheight( this.image)|) {
    settimer("0.1");
    }
if (!playerx in |getimgwidth( this.image)| && !playery in |getimgheight( this.image)|) {
    settimer("0");
    }
  }
}
function onTimeout() {
  playerx += 1;
  settimer("0.1");
} 


EDIT: added if the player isn´t inside the picture

Keep in mind:

player.x is a tile-based coordinate, and getimgwidth is by pixels. 1 tile width/height = 16 pixels.

therefore... tile width = (pixels / 16)

and what about:

getimgwidth( this.image)/16

That's how you would do it. Honestly your script isn't making much sense.

Hehe I´m testing around with commands and so on.
