alright how does it work

[_Z3phyr_]

I see people say prefix.("varname" @ temp.towahth @ "wejthakwlh") = 1;

If this doesn't have anything to do with what I'm about to ask then just pretend I didn't metion it and answer the question anyway:


When you want to declare a value/assign/whatever... nevermind how do I do this:

this.thisismyvarONE = the variable I that I want to edit.

this.varname = "ONE";
this.("thisismyvar" @ this.varname) = 1;


^ please explain how to do because I'm doing it wrong apparently.

What you're doing should work.

You could also do this..

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
 this.varname = "ONE";
 makevar("this." @ this.varname) = 1;
 chat = "this.ONE =" SPC this.ONE;
} 


Its just a matter of personal preference I guess..

Indeed it is, I'm starting to use makevar, however I prefer to use this.("blah" @ LOLDIE); =(

makevar() is untidy and I strongly dislike it when people use it. this.(@ foo) = bar; is the best way in my opinion.

So if I'm going to start the variable's name with the value of another variable, I need to use the @ sign to start it off?

this.(@ varname) = value;

[The Evil Within]

I was on RC when you posted this...why didn't you just ask me? Loser.

Although you wouldn't have gotten as good help, I actually like the way Skyld has it formatted better.

I think you only need it for a variable name only or if a variable name is first.

PHP Code:

this.(@ foo @ "bar") = baz; 


However, I do it out of habit even when a string is first. It is probably good practice for consistency and legibility.

I dunno why people are using makevar
-longer too write
-looks more complicated if you ask me, but isn't

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.a = "lol";
  temp.(@ temp.a @ "lipop") = "hmm?";
  player.chat = temp.lollipop;
} 


is lesser to write then:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.a = "lol";
  makevar("temp." @ temp.a @ "lipop") = "hmm?";
  player.chat = temp.lollipop;
}

Ive actually started to use makevar() instead of var.(more stuff) lately. I like it more now, and it feels more.. organized?

[_Z3phyr_]

*shrug* anyway instead of making a new thread how about I pose another question?

How does...

PHP Code:

if (playerleaves) { 


... translate into GS2?

I know it ain't

PHP Code:

function onPlayerleaves() { 


so what is it?!

I always did var.(@ some @ "thing") but when i saw makevar() I thought i was doing it the wrong way

[_Z3phyr_]

So... >_>

You guys suck

[excaliber7388]

nobody knows....

[xXziroXx]

Playerleaves doesnt exist in GS2, but its not hard to script your own version.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters()
{
  if (player.level != this.levelname && this.levelname != NULL) {
    //Oh my gosh, the player changed level!
  }
  this.levelname = player.level;
} 


[Skyld]

player.level.name.

onPlayerLeaves() should work fine, you are sure it is broken ?

Its not even listed on the Wiki.. only the gs1 version of it is.

[_Z3phyr_]

apparently it doesn't work.


Anyway lets see if yall can redeem yourselves...

Tell me what I did wrong here. Assume temp.entry is a string and that all arrays and/or variables have been declared before this script comes into play.

PHP Code:

    for (i=1;i<=13;i++) {
  if (server.arrayprefix_(temp.entry @ "Suffix")[i]!=null) {
    if (client.array[i]>=server.arrayprefix_(temp.entry @ "Suffix")[i]) { 


I've tried saying (@temp.entry@"Suffix") but that doens't work either. If that's the correct answer then maybe I mistyped something.



edit
and yes I know I can jsut say server.array >= client.array but that doesn't answer my question.

You would want to do server.("arrayprefix_" @ temp.entry @ "Suffix")[i].

Okay and now how do you translate if (mousedown) to GS2 aka if (leftmousebutton) ?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown() {
 switch(params[0]) {
  case "left": 
  case "right":
  case "middle":
  case "double": player.chat = "You have just pressed the " @ params[0] @ " mouse button!"; break;
 }
} 


[_Z3phyr_]

lolz hey again yall I need help with this thing will you please help me??? how do you do this but make it work b/c something is wrong

PHP Code:

function onTimeout() {
  for (i=0;i<=2;i++) {
    player.x+=i;
  }
  this.setTimer(.5);
}

How to make player move in a direction (equivalent to move() command except player instead of NPC)

and don't say

PHP Code:

function onTimeout() {
  for (i=0;i<=2;i++) {
    player.x+=i;
  }
  this.setTimer(.5);
} 


Or why don't you stop trying to hide the fact that you're asking for scripts instead of your little "let's see you show me how to do this" scam?

If you need help, ask, like a normal person.

Wow what in the world are you on, its obvious he is asking for help with scripts.

If you need help, ask, like a normal person.

It appears its normal for him to ask in those more interesting ways just as its normal for you to critisize and arugue with everyone you come in contact with.

anyway, what's the answer again?

That would increase the player's x with 0, then by 1, and then by 2..

You could try to add a speed variable, instead of adding the variable of the loop, which is being increased,
(because of the loop speed it would be like, 2 forward, then 1, then 2 forward and 1 forward, would look weird)

To make something near the move() command, but to effect the player, I would use cos, sin and getangle

That's the only reason I responded the way I did, else, I'd be glad to help.

This stuff

PHP Code:

function onTimeout() {
  for (i=0;i<=2;i++) {
    player.x+=i;
  }
  this.setTimer(.5);
} 


only moves me by whatever i is set to (in this case 0 tiles), so it doesn't work (I said it because it doesn't work -- as a tip that its not the right answer).

And how about an answer in GS2? English doesn't really help me.

I know it ain't

PHP Code:

so what is it?!

Since GS2 is function onEVENTNAME(params) {

It would be

PHP Code:

function onPlayerLeaves() {
// ...
}

It has to be :P
Playerleaves is an event, and read above :P

Why not just do a for loop that increses the player's X position?

Example:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe()
{

  for ( i = 0; i <= 2; i++ )
  {

    player.x++;

  }

} 


Makes much more sense
