Morpher

[BBflat]

Hey again. I was just wondering how the morpher on Classic was made. If you aren't familiar with it, you can fire it next to someone and get all his/her clothes, shield, sword, and head. It's really quite cool. I don't quite know how to do this, though. Here's what I would do...

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired)

{

  // Do this for each direction

  if (playerdir == 1)

  {

    this.pindex = testplayer(playerx - 1, playery);

    // Use the player's index to get all his/her clothes.

  }

}

---

But um... What do I do with the player's index then? I don't know of anything to return another player's clothing colors.

Standard player detection, then
setplayerprop #3,#3(this.i);
if(!strequals(#s(this.i),shield1.png))
setplayerprop #2,#2(this.i);

But I oversimplify, there are delays of course, activation and deactivation conditions, and more shields and swords to not morph....

Awesome. So you can get basically any information about another player using a messagecode(index)? Thanks.
