ughhh help

first off id like to say.. making npcs in the editor and then uploading them is LAME and realllllllly sucks.. i cant wait til Er1c finishes the online level editor..

now... im making an NPC.. its supposed to trigger a door in the level to open when you touch the npc.. clientside though so it wont open for everyone.

BUT.. its not working.. no idea what to do and im frustrated

on top of that.. this.ani npc.ani and ani= do not work clientside in local npcs
also.. message() and this.chat npc.chat chat= do not work either

so.. grrrr

ontop of that.. i summoned up this error in f2 window:

GraalScript: Function setSelection not found in script of StartScript_GraalGui
GraalScript: Function makeFirstResponder not found in script of StartScript_GraalGui

don't know if this would work. Might need to do triggeraction instead. I know triggeraction triggers both serverside and clientside in v4.

npcs[i].trigger("DoorOpen",player.account);

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onDoorOpen(acct) {
if (player.account == acct)
hide();
sleep(time);
show();
}
}

Hmmm I normally add npcs by editing the level file (edit as text) or adding a dbnpc. With online editor it should be much better though.
I have no idea why this.chat or this.ani are not working for you though.

You can't trigger from serverside to clientside in a Local NPC, AFAIK.
