triggering beetween wnpcs

[Chompy]

Well, I've been experimenting, but I can't get something like this to work..

// -Master

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  this.wnpc = "Chompy/Test";
  triggerserver( "gui", this.wnpc, "actiontest", "foo");
} 


// Chompy/Test

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside()
{
  if ( params[ 0] == "actiontest")
    echo( params[ 1]);
} 


This isn't working for me, anyone have any ideas?
I dunno if I am doing anything wrong..
(Doesn't output the echo in rc chat)

I've never triggered accross weapons. I've always just triggered the current one and use a public function .

[Chompy]

Well, is it possible to do this?
Actually the 'this.wnpc' is from variable saved on the player, that was just an example.
Just wondering if it is possible, would make my work easier :O

(I am planning on having one master script to control other wnpcs (each wnpc with a different ability/functons etc.), so making lots of public functions inside the master script would just look messy)

The stuff I am doing would look more like,.. :

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function _trigger( wnpc, function, array)
  triggerserver( "gui", temp.wnpc, temp.function, temp.array;

I did something similar a while ago.

I have a weapon script which creates an NPC using putnpc2. When that NPC is touched it triggers an action on the weapon NPC.


In the placed npc I just have triggeraction(0,0,"serverside","npc name",params);


I'm pretty sure that works,

if not, you can always use findweapon.

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated(){

  findweapon("Chompy/Test").trigger();

}  

---

Chompy/Test

NPC Code:

---

function onActionServerside()

{

  if ( params[ 0] == "actiontest")

    echo( params[ 1]);

} 

//#CLIENTSIDE

public function trigger() {

 triggeraction(0,0,"serverside","Chompy/Test","actiontest");



}

its not, it must use a variable instead of the real wnpc name, thats my problem..

like triggerserver( "gui", "Chompy/Test", ...); works fine, but if I take out 'Chompy/Test' and replace with a variable it won't work..

I don't know what type it needs, if its an object or a string..

Well, think about it. "Chompy/Test" is a string, therefore it logically will expect a string.

But, it doesn't work, like the example in the first post..

What I am saying is that, my problem is something like this:

This works

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  triggerserver( "gui", "Chompy/Test", "actiontest", "foo"); 


But this doesn't..

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.wnpc = "Chompy/Test";
  triggerserver( "gui", temp.wnpc, "actiontest", "foo");
} 


[Skyld]

PHP Code:

this.wnpc = "Chompy/Test",; 


... won't work if you keep that comma there.

Opps, well I removed the comma, but it still won't work (see post that is two posts above this)

The player has BOTH weapons, yes?

Yes, the player has both weapons.

Triggering script:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  temp.curToks = player.chat.tokenize();
  triggerserver("weapon", temp.curToks[0], temp.curToks[1]);
}

Finding script:

function onActionServerside(curOption)
{
  echo(curOption);
}

Works perfect for me o-o

This also works too:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  temp.curNPC = "CT";
  triggerserver("weapon", temp.curNPC, player.chat);
}

Am I not understanding what you're trying to do?

Hmm, I think you found it :] Thanks
( 'weapon' instead of 'gui', will check if it works on my server)

"weapon" and "gui" are the same though. For me the only possible solution is that the player actually doesn't have both weapons.

That's how I see it...

[godofwarares]

It works fine for me, Even with the variable calling o.O

Hikaru/Test

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
this.wnpc = "Hikaru/Test2";
triggerserver("weapon", this.wnpc, "actiontest", "foo");
} 


Hikaru/Test2

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(cmd, option) {
switch(cmd) {
case "actiontest":
echo(option);
break;
}
} 


[Chompy]

hmm, weird..
