Kai, only the complicated NPCs take a few minutes. Many of the Classic NPCs, from my understanding and experience, are actually rather simple. Most of them could be rewritten if they couldn't be converted...in fact, the longest step would be changing lots of graphics to either setshape or a gani.

Okay, but you did that script wrong. I'll give ya the fixed version, which looks a little more complicated.

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside){

  if(playerdarts>0){

    playerdarts--;

    tempx=playerx; tempy=playery; temp=playerid;

    for(this.i=0;this.i<playerscount;this.i++){

     with(players[this.i]){

      if(playerid!=temp){

       if(((playerx-tempx)^2)+((playery-tempy)^2)<100){

        hitplayer this.i,playerswordpower,playerx,playery;

        //I'm not even sure about this part. I don't think hitplayer works serverside, but hurt wouldn't allow specific hurtdx/dys

       }

      }

     }

    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(weaponfired&&playerdarts>0){

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,#w,;

}

For scripts like that on Providence we use actionhit or actionattack or somesuch; HP or Control-NPC triggering or whatever is done by the victim's system NPC. Using some quick checks with <, <, and =, you could even theoretically determine which way the victim should fly (with onwall of course).

Indeed, however I did not want to define a whole new system just for the sake of this example.

Bleah. If NPCServ doesn't even have hitplayer, may as well keep Classic as vulnerable as it is and keep pushing for setshootnpc and setshootdamage.

It doesn't need hitplayer. There are equivalents, but I don't know them at this time. Perhaps:

hurt 10;
hurtdx=4;
hurtdy=1;

would be sufficient. I just don't know.

[Tyhm]

Yeah, or hurtdx=playerx-paramx; hurtdy=playery-paramy; hurt paramdmg;

Well, yeah.

Jeff:

Yes Tyhm, that should work.

I'd say an NPC server would actually save trouble in the future
