array search

[jake13jake]

Stefan, you should add this, it can be used like findplayer(account), but with a lot more flexibility.

NPC Code:

---

//Script made by jake13jake

//on Friday, December 9th,

//also the day of his sister's 21st birthday,

//at 2:45 in the morning!



function find(arr,attr,val) {

  for (i=0; i<arr.size(); i++) {

    if (arr[i].(@attr) == val)

      return arr[i];

  }

  return -1;

}

You could just create a function class and join the class to NPCs you wish to use it in.

Also, it might be a bit nicer to use the built-in for () iterator.

PHP Code:

function find(arr, attr, val)
{
  for (key: arr)
  {
    if (key.(@attr) == val)
    {
      return key;
    }
  }
  return -1;
}

oh cooool... I didn't know gscript2 ripped that out of java . I still think it would be useful as a built in function though. I'd honestly rather have it as a public function, but you can't do clientside public functions.

You can, in weapon scripts

REALLY, I'll tell master storm then . Wait a second though, do you think you could elaborate a little bit?

PHP Code:

Weapon1
function onWeaponFired() {
  player.chat = Weapon2.Omg(player.account);
} 


PHP Code:

Weapon2
public function Omg(acc) {
  return "Zomg your account is" SPC acc;
} 


Help?

Well, one of the reasons I'd want this command integrated is that it helps you find Weapon2.

Never heard of System NPCs?

We don't need a scripting language that is bloated with functions we will never use in our life-time.

PHP Code:

findWeapon("Weapon2").Omg("variable"); 


... is what I'm thinking.

Yeah, you need to use findweapon() if it has a space, -, *, +, ect.

[jake13jake]

Is that why findweapon never worked for me?

Or if you'd like to remove any ambiguity.

You can also do ("Complex-Name").omg(stuff). findweapon() and findnpc() have the advantage though that they are not case-sensitive.
The possibility to call code of other Weapon/GUI scripts is good for separating functionality into smaller scripts, instead of having one huge system-script.

Yea, it was in my movement script that I'm hoping master storm will help me on. It separates into a lot of weapons. Complete list now is: -system_moving, -system_sidemoving, -system_action, -system_gani, -system_keys, -system_extra.

Moving handles the default dir/dx/dy handling (pretty simple).
Sidemoving handles the sliding off of corners (not as simple).
Action handles grab/push/pull/jump all on the same counter.
Gani handles the default moving ganis.
Keys handles sword and extra commands like whistle and hug
Extra does the extra simple stuff, like bed movement, handling all movement related scripts, etc. The main goal is to have them work mostly independently of eachother. But, seeing that that could lead to a bit of redundant code, it would be better in some cases to have the systems interact with eachother. The action system and the gani system still need a little bit of work before this new movement is released for Classic, as well as a new carry system created. I also would like to document and post this movement on graal.net. I'm just hoping that Master Storm will actually help out a little bit. I've done it all on my own so far.

I also like to set global variables in weapon scripts for calling functions. So I don't have to use makevar everytime I call something from another script.

PHP Code:

First Weapon:
function onCreated() {
  mud = makevar("-SystemMudlib");
}
public function additem(itemid, qty) {
  junkhere;
} 


PHP Code:

Second Weapon:
public function playerIni() {
  mud.additem("skill_battleaura1",1);
}
