gani params + player.attr[]

Chompy · #1 02-10-2007, 08:02 PM

Well, this is what I am doing

PHP Code:


			
//#CLIENTSIDE
funciton onCreated()
{
  player.attr[ 10] = "";
  player.attr[ 10] = "chompy_float-text.gani,+12";
}

This is what I do to show the gani, now..

In the gani script I am using emitter to show some text at the players position, but it won't recieve params[ 0] (which should be +12)...
so the emitter is suppose to show +12 as text, but it doesn't show anything at all..

Anyone know what's not working?

Hmm, I got it to work, by using two attrs, BUT!

When I use emitters (emitter.particle.text) in the gani script, then only the client can see it, the text :[

Which is quite annoying..

Is the text itsself assigned to an attr?

I did

PHP Code:


			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  player.attr[ 10] = "";

  player.attr[ 10] = "chompy_float-text.gani";

  player.attr[ 11] = "";

  player.attr[ 11] = "+12";

}

When I do that, only I can see the '+12' text, and no others.. quite annoying

Uhm, why are you making the attributes blank before assigning a value..?

I know I don't need it for the attr 11, but I have to make it blank before assigning it to a gani..

HTML Code:

SCRIPT
function onPlayerEnters()
{
  temp.messageText = player.attr[11];
  with(findimg(10))
  {
    attachtoowner = true;
    layer = 2;
    x = player.x - random( -0.5, -1);
    y = player.y - random( -1, -0.1);

    with (emitter)
    {
      continueafterdestroy = true;
      nrofparticles = 1;
      emitautomatically = false;

      with (particle)
      {
        lifetime = 0.75;
        text = temp.messageText;
        mode = 1;
    
        red = 0;
        blue = 0;
        green = 1;
    
        style = "b";
        alpha = 1;
        zoom = 0.95;

        particle.angle = pi / 2;
        particle.speed = 1;
      }

      addlocalmodifier("range", 0.375, 0.875, "alpha", "replace", 1, 0);
      addlocalmodifier("range", 0.1, 0.75, "speed", "replace", 4, 2);
      emit();
    }
  }
}

Should work

Should work

Hmm, still only shows it for the client (myself), I can't see it on other players;

I am testing this with two players (myself and the gani maker),
we both have the same wnpc which trigger the attr's.
But, when I update the wnpc, only I, as the client can see the emitter text?

Is it me, should I use emitter.particle.text? I could use particle.emitter.code... hmm.. I gotta test the code one

I just tested it at my server; without clearing the attr before assigning it to a gani result in that it will only show the gani once (that happened to me), and with clearing the attr before assigning it to a gani will allow it to show everytime I update the wnpc (that happened to me..)

Shouldn't really effect it.
Make it display random integers and then check if you see the same text?

I see the text, whatever I change the player.attr[ 11] to..
Its just that, only I can see the text, whatever I do, only I can see the emitter text.. quite annoying

Ahh, I see. Instead of the emitter, try making it showtext? just as a test for now

That's what I did before, but then the text went flying around (the anis were flying around, randomly appearing), but then I used showani.. hmm

Kristi · #16 02-12-2007, 11:36 PM

its because the ani is already created. "" doesnt unset it in other players eyes, and also, it doesnt update that fast. setting it in a timeout however would cause some major slowage.

i came up with this, its a slight modification to your gani

PHP Code:


			
SCRIPT

function onCreated()

{

  with( findimg(202))

  {

    attachtoowner = true;

    layer = 2;

    x = player.x - random( -0.5, -1);

    y = player.y - random( -1, -0.1);



    emitter.continueafterdestroy = true;

    emitter.nrofparticles = 1;

    emitter.emitautomatically = false;



    emitter.particle.lifetime = 0.75;

    emitter.particle.text = player.attr[11];

    emitter.particle.mode = 1;

    

    emitter.particle.red = 0;

    emitter.particle.blue = 0;

    emitter.particle.green = 1;

    

    emitter.particle.style = "b";

    emitter.particle.alpha = 1;

    emitter.particle.zoom = 0.95;



    emitter.particle.angle = pi / 2;

    emitter.particle.speed = 1;



    emitter.addlocalmodifier( "range", 0.375, 0.875, "alpha", "replace", 1, 0);

    emitter.addlocalmodifier( "range", 0.1, 0.75, "speed", "replace", 4, 2);



  }

  onTimeout();

} 



function onTimeout() {

    if(player.attr[17] != thiso.currentinstruction) {

      thiso.currentinstruction = player.attr[17];

      with(findimg(202)) {

        emmiter.particle.text = player.attr[11];

        emitter.emit();

      }

   }

   setTimer(.05);

}

SCRIPTEND

you keep the ani set as attr whatever (10 is which youre doing), then, you update player.attr[17] to something it wasnt before (anything really), and it will emit a new particle with whatever is stored in 11. Example weapon.

PHP Code:


			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() 

{ 

  player.attr[18] = "hellraventest15.gani";

  player.attr[17] = "ab";

} 



function onPlayerchats() {

  if(player.chat == "greenytest") {

    this.teststring = player.attr[17] @ player.attr[17];

    player.attr[17] = this.teststring.substring(1,2);

    player.chat = player.attr[17];

  }

  player.attr[11] = "+12";

}

in that case, 17 is flipping between "ab" and "ba".

This method works best if youre constantly using this.

Thanks

I made some small modifications and it now works perfectly

Thanks Kristi! Rep ++;
