Player Detection

[ZeroTrack]

Anyone else notice that ...

NPC Code:

---

  for(this.p=0;this.p<playerscount;this.p++) {

    if (mousex in |players[this.p].x,players[this.p].x+3| && mousey in |players[this.p].y,players[this.p].y+3|) {

---

...is also triggered when you click on npcs?

[Lance]

showcharacter npcs are contained in the clientside players array

[ZeroTrack]

i kinda figured , but shouldn't this be changed

[Polo]

You can easily distinguish between the 2 by seeing if the acct name is blank or not... I dunno... I like being able to find showcharacter npcs

I don't know. Should it?

[ZeroTrack]

i think so , i mean yea its easy to get around but have charater npcs and players in the same array is kind of limiting no?

[Slash-P2P]

if (strlen(#a(i))>0) {
script
}

[falco10291029]

or add to the if flag

NPC Code:

---

if (mousex in |players[this.p].x,players[this.p].x+3| && mousey in |players[this.p].y,players[this.p].y+3|&&players.[this.p].id>-1)

How is it limiting if it has more potential?

[ZeroTrack]

more potential? how so?

Because in addition to being able to access the players, you also are able to access the showcharacter NPCs? More is not less, man, especially when it's trivial to figure out whether you're dealing with a player or an NPC.

[ZeroTrack]

i just assumed accessing players and charater npc's should be in seperate arrays to make the array shorter for both this way it would know what array to access this way it wouldnt get players confused with charater npcs, considering there non player charaters

[falco10291029]

Just add what I said, showcharacter npcs have an id of -1.

read up please, i know how to get rid of it , this thread wasn't started as a "help im stuck i can't figure that npcs dont have ids or accountnames" its more of a why is this post being a programer im addicted to asking why =p, thank you for your concern just the same though

[falco10291029]

Hehe, the reason is because there's no reaosn to add a second command when a simple flag can be added

[ZeroTrack]

it wouldnt be a second command =/ the arrays are built in

[falco10291029]

bah you know what I mean. And if you dont I dunno how you learned to script

"There's no reason to add a second array when a simple variable can be compared."

There is a big difference between the two statements.

Also: using incorrect terminology especially when knowing better is considered giving bad advice. Don't expect every visitor to this forum to understand that you meant something vastly different from what you said.

[falco10291029]

OK sorry I forgot noobs looked at it too, I'll be good

I did encourage you to script though .
I started scripting on Frolic when I was like 11. So thats like 4 years ago.

So what if you've scripted longer...Mr. sern_oldbie.
I rock and you're jealous.
