Help

Can somebody help me with this why is its hiding everything accept the names of the players?

PHP Code:

Function onCreated()
{
 onTimeout();
}
function onTimeout(){
 showstats(1024);
}
setTimer(0.05);

Showstats

PHP Code:

1      ASD
2     Icons (for rupees, bombs, arrows)
4     Rupees count
8     Bombs count
0x10     Arrows count
0x20     Hearts
0x40     Alignment (ap) bar
0x80     Magic points (mp) bar
0x100     Minimap (you can only hide it, you can't show it when the player pressed Alt+3)
0x200     Inventory NPCs
0x400     Players
0x800     Right-click on players opens their profile
allstats     All of the previously stated stats flags enabled 


Also, what's the point of having show stats in a timeout?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  showstats(allstats - 0x80 - 0x40);
}

I recommend doing it inside a //onPlayerEnters()// to make sure that it stays that way.

So just add...

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters()
{
  onCreated();
} 


...to the bottom.

This would be more efficient.

function onCreated()
{
  this.onPlayerEnters();
}
function onPlayerEnters()
{
   showStats(1024);
}

I don't see how there's a difference, both functions are called regardless.

Yeah but onCreated() is only called once. onPlayerEnters is called every time a player enters the level so it gets called more.

Doesn't matter though, since when you enter it will call onCreated if you make it call onCreated when you enter either way, thus allowing you to set it up in the onCreated instead of the onPlayerEnters.

If you don't understand, that's your own fault. We're correct.

If you can't explain it, then it's the same as not understanding.

What isn't there to understand?
As far as I can see it, "JkWhoSaysNi" explained it.

Ok, consider:

a:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters()
{
  onCreated();
} 


b:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  onPlayerEnters();
} 


Now, if a player enters the level with

a: onPlayerEnters() gets called and onCreated() gets called then the rest of the script gets executed

b: onPlayerEnters() gets called and the rest of the script executes.

Since onPlayerEnters will get called more than onCreated() b is the most efficient.

I don't think i can explain it any clearer than that.

You're both wrong. You should only need to call showstats once. If it doesn't stay as you set it, there's another script interfering.

And it's good practice to not call onCreated().

I assure you, try this on a playerworld

Custom health / death? Doesn't involve "player.hearts"?

I tried it without the custom health and I still have no problem.

Weird. I tried doing something similar on V$:Conflict, it appeared on odd occasions. May have been another NPC as you've said.
Thanks for clearing that up

I know what you're talking about though, that sometimes a GUI will flash when the player's hurt...

Yes, as someone might put in a level to show different stats. Which is why you need it onPlayerEnters. It's the same with custom tilesets, in theory you should be able to just set them once but if a level changes it, it'll never get changed back if you just do it on onCreated().

You're all nerds

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  showStats( 1024 );
}
function onPlayerEnters()
{
  showStats( 1024 );
} 


Oww that was hard ... Took over 2 seconds to write!

Wait, why you reply to a thread where the thread starter has got the answer,
and you start your post with.. "You're all nerds"..

You didn't need to put that first line in your post..

And, it is not needed to use two showstats, its fine to have it in on of the functions..

I put two because people were arguing about what place to put it. If you put it in both, it solves the problem
