Bridge

[Com013]

I have only little experience with the commands which were previously p2p only, and so I have got problems making a bridge.

Here is my current script (yes, I know it is not looking nice):

NPC Code:

---

// Script made by Com013

if (created) {

  setarray btiles,14*9;



  for (i=0; i<9; i++)

    for (j=0; j<14; j++) {

      if (i<2 || i>=7)

        btiles[i*14+j] = 22;

      else

        btiles[i*14+j] = 0;

    }



  setshape2 14,9,btiles;

  setarray btiles,0;



  drawoverplayer;

  dontblock;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  if (playerattached) {

    if (playerdir==1 && playerx<=x-0.5 ||

        playerdir==3 && playerx>=x+11.5)

      detachplayer;

  } else if (playery in |y+1,y+4|) {

    if (playerdir==3 && playerx==x-2.5 ||

        playerdir==1 && playerx==x+13.5)

      attachplayertoobj 0,npcs[0].id;

  }



  timereverywhere;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

---

I haven't tested this yet on the NPC Server, so I am not sure whether the attachplayertoobj can be clientside.

The script is working fine, but when you are leaving the bridge, the player is suddenly under it. I have no clue how to improve it except by adding transparent parts at the sides of the bridge.

Why not just use move?

I haven't downloaded it yet but couldn't you just widden the setshape to another 2-3 tiles on each side so it doesn't appear to draw over the player?

edit: Oh I see, Just change your x dectection to be 2-3 tiles wider....

Yes, that was my first idea, but I can only do so for the right / bottom side of it. The left / top side cannot be extended using setshape. I guess I have got to use ganis for it.

No, that doesn't work, because the player cannot walk out of the shape. (To see it you can simply turn the detach command into a comment).

Here you are:

NPC Code:

if (created) {

  setarray btiles,14*9;



  for (i=0; i<9; i++)

    for (j=0; j<14; j++) {

    if (i<2 || i>=7)

      btiles[i*14+j] = 22;

    else

      btiles[i*14+j] = 0;

  }



  setshape2 14,9,btiles;

  setarray btiles,0;



  dontblock;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  message #v(npcs[0].id) - #v(playerattachid) - #v(playerattached || false) - (#v(levelorgx) - #v(levelorgy));



  if(playerdir==0||playerdir==2){

    drawoverplayer;

  }



  if (playerattached) {

    if (playerdir==1 && playerx<=x-0.5 ||

      playerdir==3 && playerx>=x+11.5){

      drawunderplayer;

      detachplayer;

    }

  } else if (playery in |y+1,y+4|) {

    if (playerdir==3 && playerx==x-2.5 ||

      playerdir==1 && playerx==x+13.5){

      attachplayertoobj 0,npcs[0].id;

    }

  }



  timereverywhere;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

Sorry, but drawover/underplayer won't work here, because then you would see yourself correctly under the bridge, while other players would see you over it. (Or other conflicts happen).

No, I guess I'll use the gani way instead.

Kaimetsu, why is setshape2 not working serverside?

I see...

Just look at the bridge on Avalon. It works as far as I know.

So I'll answer both.

Please excuse my bad english...yes, I actually wanted to hear both.

Exactly that is the reason why I was posting this: I am redoing them, because they are NOT working correctly.
However, they are too near to the level border, so there are problems. I will just remove the avalon bridges and put stairs there.

Yes, level borders do seem to mess alot of things up when npcs are crossing over them.

Only do that temporary. Working around the problem ussually isn't that good. Try to fix and if worse comes to worse ask Kai to try to fix it.

com, maybe you should try making classic a flat gmap, it would solve level border problems

1) Nope, not last time I checked. I asked Stefan about it but I think he's planning to do some thing where the server sends its shape information to the client, and that'd need a new client release, so it'll probably have to wait.

I don't want to wait...

Already did so (on Classic Developement).
I think the problem is still happening.
