It saves but will not send...

[G_yoshi]

For some inane reason, I can't get triggeraction to work for a particular NPC. For testing purposes, it saved the data I wanted to send out, but it does not send...either that or the Control-NPC doesn't want to recieve the triggeraction

NPC Code:

---

        triggeraction 0,0,servercheck,#s(client.expinc),#s(client.lastat  tacker);

---

That should send it to the Control-NPC which has:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionservercheck) {

  this.exp = #p(0);

  setstring lastattacker,#p(1);

  with (getplayer(#s(lastattacker)) {

    setstring client.player_exp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.player_e  xp))+#p(0));

    setplayerprop #c,I now have #s(client.player_exp) EXP!;

  }

}

---

But I keep checking the extras I have it set and it doesn't set them when I check the Control-NPC...this.exp does not show up as well as lastattacker.

I've been messing with it for the past hour at least...enjoying hitting my counterpart since I need to vent anyway

try triggering to a weapon
triggeraction 0,0,serverside,-actions,#s(client.expinc),#s(client.lastattacker);
then just make the weapon -actions and put the actionserverside in there

I already have one weapon triggering another when you attack a player...

Hop on AIM?

1) Parameters are sent as strings. (this.exp=#p(0) doesn't work, you are trying to store a string in a variable)
2) lastattacker isnt saved on the control NPC, however with a THIS. prefix...... (this.lastattacker)

These are pretty stupid mistakes I must say =\

Sorry :/ I was trying to save it as a string to the control-NPC since variables are variables, not text

Doesn't matter anyway, still not sending...

NPC Code:

---

if (actionservercheck) {

  this.exp = #p(0); //should be this.exp = strtofloat(#p(0))

  setstring lastattacker,#p(1); //should be this.lastattacker

  with (getplayer(#s(this.lastattacker))) {

    setstring client.player_exp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.player_e  xp)) +this.exp);

    setplayerprop #c,I now have #s(client.player_exp) EXP!;

  }

}

does this work at all? I havn't tested it but It should, unless I missed yet another bug.

WTF?!?!?!?! I changed that pie NPCW you had me create to trigger actionservercheck and everything went through...must be something in -Triggers...not sure what though :/

[G_yoshi]

I still cannot get it to send triggeraction to the control-NPC :/

NPC Code:

---

if (actionswordhit && !strtofloat(#p(1))==playerid) {

  setarray this.attack,5;

  setstring client.lastattacker,#p(2);

  setstring client.lastexp,#p(3);

  this.attack[0] = int(strtofloat(#p(0))%255);

  this.attack[1] = int(strtofloat(#s(client.def))%255);

  this.attack[2] = abs(this.attack[0]-this.attack[1]);

  this.attack[3] = abs(int(random((this.attack[2]/15),this.attack[2])));

  this.attack[4] = int(random(0,2));

  if (!this.attack[4]==1) {

    showimg 1,@FixedSys@MISS,playerx,playery+2;

    showimg 2,@FixedSys@MISS,playerx+.1,playery+2+.1;

    changeimgcolors 2,0,0,0,0;

    //changeimgcolors 1,1,.34,.34,1;

    changeimgvis 1,2;

    changeimgvis 2,1;

    sleep .25;

    hideimg 1;

    hideimg 2;

  } else {

    setani hurt,;

    hurt 0;

    showimg 1,@FixedSys@#v(this.attack[3]),playerx,playery+2;

    showimg 2,@FixedSys@#v(this.attack[3]),playerx+.1,playery+2+.1;

    changeimgcolors 2,0,0,0,0;

    //changeimgcolors 1,1,.34,.34,1;

    changeimgvis 1,2;

    changeimgvis 2,1;

    setstring client.player_hp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.player_hp  ))-this.attack[3]);

    if (strtofloat(#s(client.player_hp))<=0) {

      this.expinc = strtofloat(#s(client.player_exp))/8+int(random(4,10));

      triggeraction 0,0,servercheck,#v(this.expinc),#s(client.lastatta  cker);

      setstring client.player_hp,0;

      setplayerprop #c,Dead!;

      sleep .1;

      playerhearts = 0;

    } else {

      playerhearts = 3;

    }

    sleep .25;

    hideimg 1;

    hideimg 2;

  }

}

That is the entire section which basically controls player damage. I'm pretty sure its not as clean as what it could or should be, but complain about something else :/

It's also pretty darn insecure. The experience increase is calculated on the client?

I'll worry about that once I get it to send the triggered action.

You really have the intent of beating this into the ground :/

*edit*
Apparently, I can't call another triggeraction after just doing one...

Important calculations should be handle by the server to make it hack-proof, thats all he's trying to say... Am I to assume you don't see the logic in that?

I see the logic

Sorry, I'm just too focused on getting from point A to point B

Anyway, I do now have the server handling it, but here's the problem I've found...if I do triggeraction to the player with params, it won't let me send those params if I've saved them to strings through another triggeraction to the Control-NPC...I checked. I can, however, send out 2 triggeractions to both player and the Control-NPC; problem there is things collide and cause problems from that point as well.

So I'm kind of stuck now...I was trying to do with (players[<vars>]) {...} inside a for loop to check for a string, but it wouldn't do it.

Any suggestions on how to get this working because it is vital to the RPing environment :/

x.X I'm not even sure what is going ON anymore! Originally you were trying to save a NON variable to a this.var instead of a string. Then you changed it x.X

Um, when saving stuff on the Control-NPC as far as strings and variables go...you have to use this.<vars/string>. 'setstring this.string' makes it a local string for the Control-NPC that only it can play with or for any other db NPC you have
