NPCs and Classes

[killerogue]

Just how limited is communication between them?

[Chompy]

Npcs as in level npcs, database npcs?

[Angel_Light]

Not very, anything possible, haha.

Classes aren't their own objects, just scripts joined to other objects, I don't see what you're getting at.

Doesn't matter if one is joined to an NPC or a weapon, classes are classes. Unless I misunderstood and if you meant NPC is a db-npc, level-npc, or a weapon script.

Sorry, I never clarified what I posted this for. I was calling a public function in a DB from a weapon, that places a class, once the class is created it's supposed to call a public function from the same DB. I tried to echo a variable through this manner but it didn't work. :O


Something like his for example:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.npcPlace = putnpc2(30, 30, "").join("mud_npc_genericenemytest");
  with (this.npcPlace) {
    this.eName = "Shadow";
  }
} 


PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.file;
  echo (this.eName);
} 


isn't working.

DB-NPC:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  this.join("functions");
  echo2("Success");
} 


functions Class

PHP Code:

public function echo2(message)
{
  this.echo(temp.message);
} 


Would work, just an example though.

[killerogue]

...I know that would work. What I need is what I posted above for example.

[Rapidwolve]

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  with (putnpc2(30, 30, ""))
  {
    this.join("mud_npc_getgenericenemytest");
    this.eName = "Shadow";
  }
} 


PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.file;
  echo (this.eName);
} 


Oh sorry, didn't read up. That should work.

Edit: Inver helped me solve my problem. Thanks tho guys.

I don't think you can call putNPC2 in the created function.

[Inverness]

putnpc2() just needs to be called in something that has a level and on the serverside. Those are only requirements to my knowledge. Trying to call it from a TStaticVar failed spectacularly.

So post your solution for the betterment of others...

[killerogue]

Well, it was the way the DB was named. :O I was using too common a named (Test was the name of it) DB and apparently it was conflicting. :O

[Inverness]

This is why I had asked long time ago for a list of global variables.

Actually, I would like an allobjects array that represents all the objects active in that space (your client or the server).
