Finding the type of variable

[sssssssssss]

Im trying to use this code to decide if params[1] is a number, string, or array. This is the only way I saw to do it. Its deciding if params[1] is an array or number. The params[1] is a this.variabe that could be either a string or array, and am trying to seperate the two in the actionserverside. help.

PHP Code:

  if (params[0] == "getReply")
  {
    temp.idtype = params[1];
    if (idtype.type() == 1)
      triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply", this.db.(@params[2]).info, params[1]);
    if (idtype.type() == 3)
    {
      if (!(params[3]) && !(params[4]))
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply2", this.db.(@params[2][0]).info, params[1]);
      if (!(params[3]) && params[4])
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply3", this.db.(@params[2][1]).info, params[1]);
    }
  }

I usually just use array.size() to check if it's an array but type works too.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  // Values
  temp.arr = {1, 2, 3};
  temp.obj = new TStaticVar();
  temp.str = "abc";
  temp.val = 1;
  
  // Type  
  echo(temp.arr.type()); // 3
  echo(temp.obj.type()); // 2
  echo(temp.str.type()); // 1
  echo(temp.val.type()); // 0
} 


lol, misread the question.. Why not use two different params[0] like getReplySingle (when you're sending just a string) and getReplyMultiple (when you're sending an array)?

[sssssssssss]

Only because I don't know how to make it tell the difference on this part where it sends the server trigger, and as I see it the only other place to tell it what to do. Its clientside obviously, checking to see which row they picked, ect ect, sending the this.vars for reply2 or reply3 being false or true, and the npcid set on the level npc (which btw is working fine xD).

PHP Code:

function Npc_Chat_ItemList.onDblClick(entryid,entrytext,entryindex) {
  if (entryid == 0)
  {
    if (entrytext != "")
    {
      triggerServer("weapon", this.name, "getReply", entryid, this.mynpcid, this.replyarray, this.replyarray2);
    }
  }
  if (entryid == 1)
  {
    if (entrytext != "")
    {
      triggerServer("weapon", this.name, "getReply", entryid, this.mynpcid, this.replyarray, this.replyarray2);
    }
  }
  if (entryid == 2)
  {
    if (entrytext != "")
    {
      triggerServer("weapon", this.name, "getReply", entryid, this.mynpcid, this.replyarray, this.replyarray2);
    }
  }
  if (entryid == 3)
  {
    if (entrytext != "")
    {
      triggerServer("weapon", this.name, "getReply", entryid, this.mynpcid, this.replyarray, this.replyarray2);
    }
  }
}

Ok, nm on that, I got it. Was just mixing stuff up the wrong way. Instead of having what I posted before. You can see the difference in the code posted below.

Having different problems now. I used a GuiMLTextCtrl in a GuiScrollCtrl to show up the chat. Now if you touch ANY npc that uses this, it will not work if you touched on already. Not sure why this happens. Also, if you hit right scroll button, you cant go back left. kinda weird. Here's the entire thing.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  this.db = findnpc("NpcChat");
}
function onActionServerSide(){
  if (params[0] == "getText")
  {
    //3 is for array. 1 is for strings and 0 is for numbers.
    if (params[1].type() == 1)
    {
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getText", this.db.(@params[1]).info);
    }
    if (params[1].type() == 3)
    {
      if (!(params[2]))
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getText2", this.db.(@params[1][0]).info);
      if (params[2])
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getText2", this.db.(@params[1][1]).info);
    }
  }
  if (params[0] == "getReply")
  {
    temp.idtype = params[2];
    if (idtype.type() == 1)
      triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply", this.db.(@params[2]).info, params[1]);
    if (idtype.type() == 3)
    {
      if (!(params[3]) && !(params[4]))
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply2", this.db.(@params[2][0]).info, params[1]);
      if (params[3] && !(params[4]))
        triggerClient("weapon", this.name, "getReply3", this.db.(@params[2][1]).info, params[1]);
    }
  }

}

Well it looks like you're trying to destroy the GUI and re-create it in the same function, which can cause Exception errors. To get around that I do:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
// Assumed Code Above
public function OpenWindow( data ){ 
  if (isObject("Npc_Chat_Window1")) {
    Npc_Chat_Window1.destroy();
  }
  this.mynpcid = temp.data; 
  this.textarray = false; 
  triggerServer("weapon", this.name, "getText", this.mynpcid, this.textarray);
  // Have the GUI re-created a frame later.
  this.scheduleevent(0.05, "CreateGUI", "");
}

function onCreateGUI() {
  new GuiWindowCtrl("Npc_Chat_Window1") { 
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile; 
    clientrelative = true; 
    clientextent = "211,231"; 
    useOwnProfile = true; 
    profile.bitmap = "guiarm_window.png"; 
    canmove = true; 
    canresize = true; 
    closequery = false; 
    destroyonhide = true; // Will destroy the window when it's closed.
    visible = true; // Will make sure the window is visible. 
    text = "Loading..."; 
    x = 309; 
    y = 88; 
     
    new GuiScrollCtrl("Npc_Chat_MultiLine1_Scroll") { 
       profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile; 
       useOwnProfile = true;  
       profile.bitmap = "guiarm_scroll.png";  
       height = 130; 
       hscrollbar = "dynamic"; 
       vscrollbar = "dynamic"; 
       width = 150; 
       x = 46; 
       //y = 143; 

       new GuiMLTextCtrl("Npc_Chat_MultiLine1") { 
         profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile; 
         height = 130; 
         //horizsizing = "width"; 
         text = "Loading..."; 
         width = 150; 
       } 
    } 
    new GuiScrollCtrl( "Npc_Chat_Scroll" ) { 
      this.width = 176; 
      this.height = 75; 
      profile.bitmap = "guiarm_scroll.png"; 
      this.x = 19; 
      this.y = 143; 

      this.hScrollBar = "alwaysOff"; 
      this.vScrollBar = "dynamic"; 

      new GuiTextListCtrl( "Npc_Chat_ItemList" ) { 
        profile.bitmap = "guiarm_window.png"; 
        this.width = 25; 
        this.height = 33; 
      } 
    } 
    new GuiShowImgCtrl("Npc_Chat_Image1") { 
      x = 9; 
      partx = 0; 
      party = 60; 
      partw = 50; 
      parth = 36; 
      width = 150; 
      height = 150; 
      image = "block.png"; 
    } 
  } 
} 


I also set the booleans in destroyonhide to true and visible to true, as it may be related to your problem, but we'll see.

[sssssssssss]

There are some Close (X) in the ItemList, besides that, it fixed the problem of only opening once, but it still doesnt move the scroll on the horizontal except once.

[fowlplay4]

It's because your MLTextCtrl is the same size as your ScrollCtrl, make your MLTextCtrl thinner. I changed it to 150, and hid the scrollbar because it does word-wrap automatically based on your MLTextCtrl's width.

[sssssssssss]

Ahh, yes that fixed it.

thanks for the helpers. Racked my head doin this one.
