Check if a player is on a wall.

[Emera]

I have searched the wiki about 5 times now and I still can't find the answer to my question. How do I check if a player is on a wall, in other words on a blocked tile like a wall tile or a roof tile? It may sound a little bit weird asking a simple question like this, but I can't find the answer!

PHP Code:

onwall(float x, float y)
onwall2(float x, float y, float width, float height) 


Keep in mind onwall2() uses the same algorithms as the polygons, making it a bit faulty.

player.onwall player.x, player.y?

onwall() is not part of the player object. Also, it will only check for a single pixel. Things like onwall(player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2) are common, since that'd be approximately the center of the player's bounding box.

Read up and become a wiz =P

I kept playing around, and this is what I got.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
    if (params[0] == "hacker") {
        setlevel2("levelname", x, y); //Action after detection
        echo("[Hack Prevention]: "@player.account@" was caught on a wall."); 
    }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
    this.admins = 
    {"wont be affected by onwall"}; //Won't be affected
    setTimer(0.05); //Starts timer
}

function onTimeout() {
    if (onwall(player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2)) { //Detects if onwall
        triggerserver("gui", this.name, "hacker");
    } else if (player.account in this.admins) return;
    setTimer(1); //Stop RC spam
}

You will want to check

on the server side.

However, it might be better to set a var on staff such as clientr.staff = 1
That way you won't have to list your admins in each system, you can just check player.clientr.staff

True, it would be easier to make it recognize staff members, but it is more customize able if I can enter staff into a field and have it recognize them there. The idea is a good one though, but unfortunately I am no longer working on this. Thank you 0pix0 anyway.

Not a good way to check for wall hackers, and there are quite a few flaws in your code.

It should be done on serverside even if you use an array. As a general rule for writing secure code, assume that anything you write on clientside can be edited by any player.
