A tip for you all

Instead of using real hardcoded death in your health systems, use the following in your timeout:

if(playerhearts<playerfullhearts){
playerhearts=playerfullhearts;
hitpoints--;
if(hitpoints<1){
disabledefmovement;
setani dead;
sleep 5;
setani idle;
enabledefmovement;
}
}

Using variables for such things wouldn't work, since those aren't stored after the player has logged off of the server.
And if (playerhurt) is more effective then playerhearts<playerfullhearts.

hmm, another thing wrong with that script, it would hurt the player the same if the pker was using a sword or an axe.

you'd have to do something along the lines of

NPC Code:

---

if (playerhearts<playerfullhearts||playerhurt) {

  this.hptake=playerfullhearts-playerhearts;

  this.hp=strtofloat(#s(client.hp));

  this.hp-=this.hptake;

  setstring client.hp,#v(this.hp);



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

     <dying stuff here>

     }

}

---

that should work, but a lot of the time its more efficient if you have things like that in a timeout loop.

Oh...yeah, but the exact script wasn't my point. My point was that using disabledefmovement and setani make death work better.

It is possible to make something like that but why wouldnt you just use the hard coded flags?
