Player x y Serverside

[Angel_Light]

How can I detect "a" player's x y coordinates on serverside, I've tried a few method none to seem to work properly.

[Skyld]

The X and Y attributes of a player are accessible through the player's object, like on the clientside, i.e. player.x, findPlayer("Skyld").x, etc.

[Angel_Light]

right, but I'm talking about if the player just walks by the NPC (it's a Class actually) I tried FindNearestPlayer but had no luck

[xAndrewx]

Hmm, I'd do it this way...

function onCreated()
{
  this.setShape(1, 32, 32);
}
function onActionDetected()
{
  //Your thing, use actionPlayer to find out whom did it
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters()
{
  this.onTimeout();
}
function onTimeout()
{
  if (player.x in |this.x - 5, this.x + 5| && player.y in |this.y - 5, this.y + 5|)
  {
    triggeraction(this.x, this.y, "Detected", "");
  }
  setTimer(0.05);
}

setShaoe xD

rawr, setShape *edits
thanks ***** x

And try to prevent it from sending a trigger every 0.05 seconds...

PHP Code:

if ( inrange )
  {
  if ( !wasinrange )
    trigger...
  wasinrange = true;
  } else wasinrange = false; 


[xAndrewx]

Yes, I do recommend doing that

[Angel_Light]

Thanks guys! I'll go test this now

EDIT: No, not working still :/

[Novo]

triggeraction(this.x+0.5, this.y+0.5, "Detected", ""); ?
I don't know if the trigger is inclusive or exclusive on the border region.

[Angel_Light]

well, it's a class so triggeraction act different I think, O.o Eh, it's beyond my knowledge :[

[killerogue]

Triggeractions don't act differently. You just can't use triggerserver or triggerclient inside of classes.

[Angel_Light]

so triggeraction ( 0, 0, "serverside", this.name, "Foo"); Would send "Foo" to the serverside of a class? :/ If so, it doesnt for me.

Can't communicate server<>client with classes. Only with weapons/gui's.

Thought so, but, you can save vars to this.attr[#]; and communicate that way but takes alot CPU sometimes.

NPCs can... Using the x/y coordinates of the NPC on the level. It requires setShape to be set, however.

[DustyPorViva]

Ya, I wanted to create a bomb that exploded and shook the screen, but because the managing of the timer had to be serverside(destroy has to be serverside for it to delete for everyone), and the focus had to be clientside, I never managed to finish it. Sucks, and maybe communication for NPCs will be added soon.

Hmm, I never considered actually triggering itself like that. Does that actually work, confirmed? I've heard a lot of theories on how to do it and I've tried many different ways, and nothing ever worked. And if it is true, can you do so from serverside > clientside?

I'm quite sure you can't do the inverse... But from client to server, yes, it works... From server to client, I'm not quite sure.

[killerogue]

Uh, you can use triggeractions and catch the events with a clientside or serverside in classes.

Like:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside() {
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  triggeraction(x,y,"Serverside",NULL);
} 


[cbk1994]

Try something like this

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  setshape( 1, 32, 32 );
}
function onActionNear( acc )
{
  chat = acc SPC "is near me!";
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  setTimer( .1 );
}
function onTimeOut()
{
  if ( player.x in | this.x - 1, this.x + 2 | && player.y in | this.y - 2, this.y + 1 | )
  {
    triggeraction( this.x + .5, this.y + .5, "Near", player.account );
  }
  setTimer( .1 );
}
