Object Movement

[Chandler]

function beginMovement()
  {
  this.getPosition();
  temp.movePosition = {
    (this.currentLocation[1] - this.x), 
    (this.currentLocation[2] - this.y)
  };
  this.dir = getdir(temp.movePosition[0], temp.movePosition[1]);
  this.ani = "walk";
  temp.moveDirs = {
    {1, {1.7, 1}}, {0, {-1.7, 1}}, {2, {1.7, -1.7}}, {3, {-1.7, -1.7}}
  };
  this.chat = "Moving towards" SPC this.currentLocation[0] @"!";
  
  for (temp.currentDirection: temp.moveDirs)
    if (this.dir == temp.currentDirection[0])
      for (temp.newAmount: temp.currentDirection[1])
        temp.moveAmount.add(temp.newAmount);   
  move((temp.movePosition[0] + temp.moveAmount[0]), (temp.movePosition[1] + temp.moveAmount[1]), 1, 8+16);
  }
function getPosition()
  {
  temp.randomLocation = int(random(0, this.warpLocations.size()));
  temp.newLocation = this.warpLocations[temp.randomLocation];
  if (temp.newLocation[0] != this.currentLocation[0])
    this.currentLocation = temp.newLocation;
   else
    this.getPosition();
  }
function onMovementFinished()
  this.ani = "idle";

Well, it is supposed to run through levels. I've tried adding

PHP Code:

  this.canwarp();
  this.canwarp2(); 


Neither seem to solve this! Any solutions?

Is it serverside or clientside?
And "canWarp();" should make it able to follow links.

[Chandler]

Serverside, doesn't seem to work I'm afraid :[

[napo_p2p]

Is it a level NPC, or a DB/putnpc2?

[Chandler]

Database

[Admins]

It should work if you do canwarp() and eventually also setshape() or showcharacter() so that the npc has a size and it can correctly check if the npc covers a link area

[Chandler]

Still nothing.
Era:
The script of NPC c_airShop has been updated by Chandler

[Chandler]

Anyone? Thanks

[contiga]

I'm not sure, but maybe make it join a class that handles the movement, tho I don't think it will make any difference, it's just how we done it on 2k1.

[Chandler]

Make the movement in a class?

It looks like it should work to me as long as it's a DB-NPC and you've set a shape and have the gmap in serveroptions and the level list. (Keep canwarp() in there too). The only problems I have ever had with something like this is that sometimes the npc takes a while to update its position for the client.

Even though move is being controlled over levels? [If you get this]
