checking...

[theHAWKER]

i was wondering if there was a way to check if the player is still touching the npc after 3 seconds for example.
or like if the player is still firing his weapon.

but i dont want the npc to react untill it checks again.

is this posible?

Well, 'touching' the NPC is only sent while the player is moving and 'colliding' with the NPC. I suppose what you could do is something like...

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.check=0;
}

function onPlayertouchsme() {
  if (this.check==0) setTimer(3);
  else {
    // Do whatever you want if they're still touching it after 3 seconds.
  }
}

function onTimeout() {
  if (this.check==0) {
    this.check=1; 
    setTimer(.1);
  } else this.check=0;
} 


But... they'd still have to be pressing against the NPC, not just standing there next to or in it.
As for the if they're still firing, again, you should use timeouts and variables.

PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe()
{
  this.scheduleEvent(3, "check", {player.account, player.x, player.y});
}

function onCheck(pa, px, py)
{
  temp.pl = findPlayer(pa);

  if (temp.pl.x == px && temp.pl.y == py)
  {
    // you stood still
  }
} 


^-- that what you want?

Of course it is.

PHP Code:

if (created)
{
this.w = (NPC Width In Tiles);
this.h = (NPC Height in Tiles);
}

if (playertouchsme)
{
     timeout = 3;
}

if (timeout)
{
     plX = int(playerx + 1.5 + vecx(playerdir));
     plY = int(playery + 2 + vecy(playerdir));
     
     if (plY in |x, x+this.w| && plX in |y, y+this.h|)
     {
          // Code here. Player is touching the NPC
     }
} 


Of course, You'll need to measure the NPC's width and height (in tiles, pixel/16). This will probably suit your needs better.

You'd have to be standing on the NPC for that one to work. Might not work for something like a block.

Should work now, Its detecting if the tile in front of the player is in the NPC. Should work even if its a block.
