Trouble

[BocoC]

Ok. I made a firework weapon that places those bee fireworks on the ground. I used putnpc2 to do it. Here is my code:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Boco

if (playerenters || created) {

  message Bee;

}

if (playerchats && strequals(#c,buy bee)) {

  if (playerrupees>=5) {

    playerrupees-=5;

    toweapons Bee;

    setstring client.Firework_Bee_Count,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.  Firework_Bee_Count))+5);

  } else {

    say2 You don't have enough Gralats!;

  }

}

if (weaponfired) {

  setplayerprop #c,#s(client.Firework_Bee_Count);

  putnpc2 playerx+vecx(playerdir)*2, playery+vecy(playerdir)*2, {

    if (created) {

      message Bee;

      showcharacter;

      dontblock;

      setcharani bravo_firework_bee,;

      sleep 0.95;

      this.x=random(-1,1);

      this.y=random(-1,1);

      for (this.time=0.95;this.time<1.85;this.time+=0.1) {

        if (this.time<1.2) { hitobjects 0.5,x+1.5,y+2; }

        this.x+=random(-0.5,0.5);

        this.y+=random(-0.5,0.5);

        move this.x,this.y,0.1,1;

        sleep 0.1;

      }

      move this.x,this.y,0.55,1;

      sleep 1;

      destroy;

    }

  };

  setstring client.Firework_Bee_Count,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.  Firework_Bee_Count))-1);

  if (strtofloat(#s(client.Firework_Bee_Count))==0) { destroy; }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created) {

  setimgpart bravo_firework_bee.gif,0,0,16,16;

}

Ok. The putnpc2 part of the code doesn't work. The script seems to halt completely at that part of the code. I know this because it won't subtract the string 'client.Firework_Bee_Count' by 1. Can anyone help me in getting this to work? Thanks.

you can't use putnpc2 in a clientside NPC (or weapon for that matter)

[BocoC]

-_-' So, can you use ANY type of putnpc command inside of a weapon?

[kyle0654]

uhm...not really...you have to use the server cnpc...it's not that complicated, just a little bit tricky to get working well...
ICQ# 61900933, I can probably give you some help. I'm assuming you have an NPC server to test with and know what the server control-NPC is right?

[BocoC]

Yep, but NC isn't loading currently...
