I wish I knew how to script. I gave it a shot, but in the end, it wasn't for me. I commend you for going through with it and learning with the help of Emera and Callimuc. Good job.

Remember, we're here for anybody who wants help. If you really want to get into scripting, I'll be more than happy to help with any questions you have and so will callimuc.

But really, where did you start? Like where did you learn the basics. Do you have a tutorial? I would mor them happily plus rep you if you could re direct me. Learning to script has been on my bucket list for ages now, just never got time.

This tutorial has been posted all over Graalians. I started with playing around on RC and finally read this. From there, I just practised every day and have been doing so for nearly 3 years.

Wait I do not get echoes, is it like copying your text into RC?

An echo sends data to the RC. Example usage:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo("My name is bob and I like cheese");

You can use the Graal bible or the tutorial I gave you to figure this stuff out though.

But why would you need to send data to the RC? Wouldn't you just chat?

Epic @Callimuc.
Thanks a lot, got the point of with (particles) and emitter. Just noticed it almost like image movements. At first I thought its gonna be hell when I looked at Pix's gani but figure it out, it is easy =D. Thanks again.

^ that's where I started, and then got more advanced with calli and emera, spam them to learn <3 (works every time)

it can be great for security checks (alarm the staff on RC when something has been happening, like a player entered an area he isnt supposed to enter) or like its done on the servers for reports/feedbacks/other server messages

i started by copying scripts and editing them + asking on the official forums having no clue what they ment when they replied :P
for myself it helped a lot to see examples and edit them to understand the stuff. but everyone got another way to learn different stuff :)

How did you learn the things you are missing? Let's say a current script is not in a certain weapon, how did you learn it soon or later? And I'm gonna ask you that again, what are the minimum requirements to call yourself a Developer :p

Quote:

Posted by Johnaudi (Post 186372)

There aren't any minimum requirements. Developers are generally people who are capable of developing high quality material in more than one development area (levels, scripting, graphics etc.)

Quote:

Posted by Johnaudi (Post 186372)

what do you mean with the things im missing? after a while you are simply able to understand the descriptions/documentations even better. You just have to mess around.

And to call yourself a developer... What emera said

Quote:

Posted by callimuc (Post 186644)

Uh, like I mean, how am I suppose to know if there is something I never heard of? Like a week ago I found the particles emitter script and such. How am I suppose to know that I'm "ready".

you can always see other servers, ask yourself about some scripts how it could have been done and so on

Man, I'm learning new things everyday still. When a task calls for something new, then you go away and learn it then apply it to what you're doing.

Hmm.

Pff.

Okay, so @Callimuc I tried taking your script, edited a bit, I also added to players chat: showpart and hidepart.
Hypotheses : angle +=.5; on each timeout (would go as a spiral)
/ well the problem is, I added a Boolean flag (thiso.ison = true/false) to turn it on or off, well I turn it off, for e.g :

PHP Code:


		
			
function onTimeOut() {
  if (thiso.ison == true) { 
    //stuff
  }
}

Well when it's off, the angle keeps on going to one (the last) direction when stopped. How can I stop the particles? Also, what does "findimg()" do?
Thanks

I like how you're saying if true is true. Instead just use if (thiso.isOn){ instead just to show you're not a blatant copy paster kinda "programmer".

Sharing any script is good, regardless of the quality that you think they are.

That, and this isn't exactly a show-off thread is it? He's posting a script so we can help him get better, and you can't really bash that.

you can go on helping. also this isnt a share thread/code gallery. we are simply helping him and later on we can suggest him more.

everyone is having their start to learn that. in the beginning its more easy for people to learn it by still using if (whatever == boolean).
sorry that not everyone is such a pro like you thinking they are the best. go on rather than keep fighting about/with everything/everyone you dont like

Back on topic, findimg() does what :p ?

Quote:

Posted by Johnaudi (Post 188505)

Back on topic, findimg() does what :p ?

It shows images <3.

PHP Code:


		
			
with(findimg(200)) {

  image = "block.png";

  x = player.x;

  y = player.y;

}

The 200 inside the brackets is the index. Anything over 200 will be displayed only on the player's screen, and anything between 0 and 199 will be displayed to everybody. There's other variables you can change like text, font, layer, etc. Just play around with them <3

Quote:

No o_0
findimg retrieves the image object given an index. With that object you can manipulate its properties.

Being serious though, I see this thread as a way to ***** rep. It's pretty much a failed showcase turned into a help thread with people giving flawed information.

I don't think i'm good and I have no clue where you got that idea from.

Let's chill now, k?

Thanks Emmy :3 so basically it shows the image ServerSided if it's under 200 and it's clientsided if it's 200+?

Not server side, but for all players. No problem ;)

ok, maybe it was kinda harsh. but at least hes willing to learn other than most people on the official forums releasing codes. at least im trying to explain it pretty simple for him as i think you should understand the code before knowing something like the explanation you gave for the findImg() part.
if you know what the script does and you messed with that it would be more easy to understand your explanation. when you are new to scripting than it can be hard to understand it

so findimg() is always clientsided?

Quote:

You can't use findimg() on the server side. It's a clientside function. If you set the index of the image to lower than 200 though, it'll show for everybody and not just yourself.

Next question is a stupid question but keeps getting around my mind, about NPC movements, I try to make it but it goes for a second then it stops, I remember tricxta teaching it to me on Skype but I probably forgot a thing.

Quote:

Posted by Johnaudi (Post 189567)

you can use move(dx, dy, time, options)

dx: new x position from the current one (like 3 would move 3 tiles to the right from the current position)
dy: same as dy for the y
time: the time the whole moving should take
options: different stuff being called

for the options just check this link

Posted by callimuc (Post 190004)

As an extension, if you're trying to move it to a certain point in the level, you can calculate the delta:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.origin = {player.x, player.y};

temp.target = {30, 30};

temp.delta = {target[0] - origin[0], target[1] - origin[1]};



move(delta[0], delta[1], 10, 24);

I was most likely looming for the one that uses temp.i, something Tric thought me but I forgot... for() not move()...

Quote:

PHP Code:


		
			
for (temp.i=player.x; temp.i<player.x+5; temp.i++) {

  this.x = temp.i;

}

something like that? i wouldnt suggest that, use move() instead

move() is superior to manually updating the position since it gets synced to both the client and the server.

Thanks guys :)
Okay one more, is there anywhere better to store sended pms,comments anything? And make it readable and writable, other than clientr. // also Will clientr.test= 1,2,3,4 be counted as an array? (clientr.test[0])

Quote:

Posted by Johnaudi (Post 190701)

You'll have to have a custom PM system to log sent messages as there's no way to log messages sent using the default one. I'd personally store them in text files. Also, you can tokenize that clientr flag to treat it like an array like this: temp.test = player.clientr.test.tokenize(","); and then you can use temp.test[0].

Quote:

Posted by Emera (Post 190726)

I know that, most-likely that's why im asking this, because I need more space than clientr than spam it all.

Question : how to use and give a "public function"?

Public functions are functions that other scripts can access via other scripts, level NPCs, classes and w/e.

PHP Code:


		
			
public function cheeseIsCool() {
  echo("Cheese is cool, pepper is not!");
}

PHP Code:


		
			
(@"-Weapon/Name").cheeseIsCool();
