phones!

[[email protected]]

so i am re-making payphones on Era, it all works fine [kinda]. The two phones connect to each other, but the text on the phone i am calling doesn't change, i've debugged it and it changes all the flags to what they need to be [even changes the 'c'] yet the text refuses to change.

function onCreated() {
  this.setImg("phone_booth-1.gif");
  this.setShape(1, 32, 64);
  this.drawunderplayer();  
  
  this.phonestatus = "idle";
  this.linebusy = this.incomingcall = this.callingphone = false;
  this.updateChat();
}

public function updateChat() {
  temp.c = "";
  if (!this.number) c = "Awaiting Registration";
  elseif (this.number) c = this.number;
  if (this.linebusy) c = this.dialnum SPC "Busy";
  if (this.callingphone) c = "Calling" SPC this.dialnum;
  if (this.incomingcall) c = "Caller" SPC this.dialnum;

  this.chat = "(Eracom:" SPC c @ ")";
}

function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat == "reset") this.onCreated();
}

function onActionGrab() {
  if (!this.number) {
    if (!player.chat.starts(":")) return false;   
    if (player.clientr.staff < 3) return false; 

    temp.chat = player.chat.substring(1);
    temp.tok = chat.tokenize();
    
    DB_PayPhones.trigger("AddPhone", this.name, tok[0], chat.substring(tok[0].length() + 1));
    return true;
  }  
  
  if (this.incomingcall) {
    this.acceptCall();
    return true;
  }
 
  if (player.chat == null) return false;
  if (player.chat == this.number) return false;
  
  if (player.chat in DB_PayPhones.numbers) {
    temp.npc = DB_PayPhones.("p_" @ player.chat);
    this.cphone = findNPC(npc[0]);
   
    this.dialnum = player.chat;
    
    switch(this.cphone.getStatus()) {
      case "idle": this.sendCall(); break;
      case "busy": this.linebusy = true; break;
    }
    
    this.owner = player;
    this.updateChat();
  } 
}

public function getStatus() {
  return this.phonestatus;
}

public function sendCall() {
  this.cphone.trigger("IncomingCall", this.name);
  this.phonestatus = "busy";
  this.callingphone = true;
}  

public function onIncomingCall(temp.npc) {
  this.phonestatus = "busy";
  this.incomingcall = true;
  this.cphone = findNPC(npc);

  this.updateChat();
  //This is the problem... I've tried everything
}

public function acceptCall() {
  this.owner = player;
  this.cPhone.trigger("StartCall", "");
  this.chat = "(Call Established)" SPC this.cPhone;
  //However, once I grab it this part works....
}

public function onStartCall() {
  this.chat = "Call's created between" SPC this.cPhone;
}
  
public function assignNumber(temp.num, temp.desc) {
  this.number = num;
  this.description = desc;
  this.updateChat();
}

function onActionStaffStick() {
  this.DestroyPhone();
}

public function DestroyPhone() {
  DB_PayPhones.trigger("DestroyPhone", this.number, this.description);
  this.destroy();
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  setshape2(2, 3, {
    22, 22,
    22, 22,
    22, 22
  });
}

So in updateChat it doesn't set the chat of the phone/npc?

( this.chat = "(Eracom:" SPC c @ ")"; )
But it sets the variable c correctly and all?

Hmm, tried message()?

You mean you broke the system I made on Era already?

No, he didn't. I've added tid-bits to your payphone class, and those are currently re-released, but there are a few bugs in it (although minor, can sometimes be rather annoying) that prompted Andy to check it out, and as he did, he found another bug (Again, chat related), and he decided he wished to just create a new version and see how it fared :P
