here is a follow code

[LiquidIce00]

Not the best, but something I just made quickly for the people who have been asking how to make an online follow player.

I still like the way that bomies follow (always stay behind the player)
this one just moves up/down/left/right according to the player.

Also , why is it that when I set array it doesnt work ? Am I doing something wrong or is Graal array just weird?

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by LiquidIce - Buzy liek always

//Following Orb



//this sets how fast the timeout goes

this.speed=.15;



if (playertouchsme) {

toweapons Pet Orb;

}



if (weaponfired) {

//setarray orbx,7;

//setarray orby,7;

this.a=0;

  while (this.a<7) {

  this.a++;

  orbx[this.a]=playerx+1.5-(vecx(playerdir)*2);

  orby[this.a]=playery+2-(vecy(playerdir)*2);

  }

timeout=this.speed;

}



if (timeout) {

follow();

movearray();

setarray();



timeout=this.speed;

}



function setarray() {

 if (playerx>orbx[6]&&playerx-orbx[6]>2) {

 orbx[7]=orbx[6]+.5;

 }

 if (playerx<orbx[6]&&orbx[6]-playerx>2) {

 orbx[7]=orbx[6]-.5;

 }

 if (playery<orby[6]&&orby[6]-playery>2) {

 orby[7]=orby[6]-.5;

 }

 if (playery>orby[6]&&playery-orby[6]>2) {

 orby[7]=orby[6]+.5;

 }

}



function follow() {

showimg 100,shadoworb.gif,orbx[1],orby[1];

}



function movearray() {

this.i=0;

  while (this.i<6) {

  this.i++;

  this.test=this.i+1;

  orbx[this.i]=orbx[this.test];

  orby[this.i]=orby[this.test];

  }

}

Because people were asking and I think that his had some npc server only stuff in it.

Wow man thank you sooo much. I have been working over 4 hours trying to make just that and I cannot do it =\ This is vital to the script im making and I couldnt do it without it. Thanks again

BTW, does the one Stefan made work on free servers??

[ownerofbabylon]

hmm where in that script would I add in the code so if the player faces left it shows left.png and right is right.png and so on???

showimg part.
but if you are doing it with ganis then you will not do showimg. You will change x=orbx[1] and y=orby[1]
but it doesnt have onwall and also it has a few bugs. I just make it quick like I said

[ownerofbabylon]

yea im doing setimgpart but i meant where would i put it in that script???

in that function..

[LiquidIce00]

Btw, I might actually turn this into something, and since I am a nice person and I always like to post code I'll post that.

the onwall and non-p2p canwarp equivalent will be the hardest part

nonp2p warp doesnt really work. it will just be a player weapon that keeps showing img . it will be easy tho because all I have to do is do like a weapon fired when playerenters.

onwall is complicated yeah. I like making birdies cuz then no onwall =)

[entravial]

why would stefan put followplayer online and not offline?

[entravial]

i mean offline not online hehe

[LiquidIce00]

maybe he was going to make an online version but never did..

I heard because A) It's tricky in multiplayer (which player does it follow? Only the leader? What happens to the second guy, is he SOL?) and B) Lamp of Salvation
