Noobish questions, mostly about scripting

Question: can I make a gatehouse that "opens" and "closes" via script the same way different models are used in conjunction with buildingvar when buildings are in the various stages of construction on chapter 3?

Question:

Event( "AccessBuilding", "38" )
{
If ( $gBuildingOwnerId == $gPlayerID )
{
*setvehicle %player% 20
$playervar70 = 1
osdcreate(OSDBUILDING,"Hut","You are safe inside your hut.")
osdaddat(OSDIMAGE, 0, 0, 590, 300, "",

"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... ophylla_wo

od.jpg")
osdaddat(OSDIMAGE, 5, 5, 255, 290, "", "http://media-

cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/28/f3/d9/inside-a-hut.jpg")
osdaddat(OSDBUTTON, 280, 240, 295, 20, "1", "Enter World")
OSDSet("BlockEscape")
osdactivate()
}
else
{
*msg %player% This hut belongs to %buildingowner%.
}
}

unfortunately, "OSDSet("BlockEscape")" doesnt seem to stop the esc key from closing the osd window. anyone know why?

ANSWER
escapeblock doesnt work when the osd is triggered by a building.

things i need to know:

is there a command to freeze a player's movements?
if not, can someone provide me with a really simple cutscene script that will show the camera above the player's position, in which cant be affected with the escape key, or by moving?

is there a command that will allow/not allow a player to receive damage from weapons fire?

as you can see i put the osdset part of ur script right after the create clase it seems to work for me

Code: Select all

Event( "AccessBuilding", "38" )
{
If ( $gBuildingOwnerId == $gPlayerID )
{
*setvehicle %player% 20
$playervar70 = 1
osdcreate(OSDBUILDING,"Hut","You are safe inside your hut.")
OSDSet("BlockEscape")
osdaddat(OSDIMAGE, 0, 0, 590, 300, "", "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Swietenia_macrophylla_wood.jpg")
osdaddat(OSDIMAGE, 5, 5, 255, 290, "", "http://mediacdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photos/01/28/f3/d9/inside-a-hut.jpg")
osdaddat(OSDBUTTON, 280, 240, 295, 20, "1", "Enter World")
osdactivate()
} 
else 
{ 
*msg %player% This hut belongs to %buildingowner%. 
} 
}

thanks blaze! I hadn't tried that yet.

question:
I cant seem to set new sounds in the sound slots. the file seems empty but the file data>sounds is full of sounds. also, the server window appears cut off on the right and bottom sides:

anyone have any ideas?
IT WAS THE SCREEN RESOLUTION ON THE TINY NEW MONITOR!

how to check playerID??
i added the %player% and name in if clases for referance to what im asking

Code: Select all

EVENT("&command", "&cps")
 {
  osdcreate(OSDLIST, "stats" "%player% stats")
  IF (%Player% = blaze)
     {
      osdadditem(OSDIMAGE, "", "CUSTOM IMAGE HERE")
     }
  ELSE IF (%Player% = mit)
     {
      osdadditem(OSDIMAGE, "", "CUSTOM IMAGE HERE")
     }
  ELSE
     {
      osdadditem(OSDIMAGE, "", "DEFALT IMAGE HERE")
     }
  osdadditem(OSDBIGTE........
  .........
  .........
  osdactivate()
 }

Replace the (%Player% = blaze) with ($gPlayerID=##)
Player id being seen via *showbill playername (its the Bill rec # )
unfortunately, this requires players to log in before you can set them in the script.

There is a 'refresh directory listing' button on the bottom of the server panel, but it's cut off on your screen. If I recall from past times people had this issue, it had to do with windows font size being too large.

I'm certain the chap 3 construction progress scripts work by actually replacing the building. Each stage you see is a separate building in the buildings.dat file, as you construct the building, the script demolishes the building and places a different model in the same location. No items are lost during this because they are stored in vars and transferred over.

re: gate opening... theres plans for a better way of doing things like that (setting a param on the building via script which is used by the client to do a range of standard things - like putting the model in a particular animation state, or adding a chimney smoke effect etc). I'll try to get that finished up soon so you can make use of it. (You can do it by adding and removing buildings from script as zar says, but that's cumbersome and can be a bit tricky to implement).

sounds probably need some work (generally ive just been using the mp3 player so far)..

thanks, that definitely worked.

If the building gets replaced with a building that is *rotatebuildinged in the same degree, then that 'clunky' idea that Zar mentioned will work, if not, I'll have to wait until said changes are applied. (which would be super cool)

as far as my blockescape problem is concerned, I can't figure it out. It might have something to do with my previous problem of not being able to get the newly saved script right away.

Code: Select all

Event( "MenuOption", "3" )
{
   OSDCreate( OSDWINDOW, "Battle", "Battleing %TARGET%" )
   OSDAddItem( OSDBUTTON, "attack|$gTargetID", "Press here to attack %TARGET%" )
   OSDActivate()
}
Event( "OSDSelect", "Battle:attack" )
{
   $paramTargetID = $gParam[1]
   $targetName = sysGetPlayerName( $paramTargetID )
   *msg %PLAYER% You selected to challenge $targetName
}

so u just add |$gTargetID to the osd button just like this
OSDAddItem(OSDBUTTON, "attack|$gTargetID", "Press here to attack %TARGET%" )
to carey the targetID along to the next osd page to pop up right??

Code: Select all

EVENT("osdselect", "PvP:2")
	{
	 SetContext( $gTargetID )
	 $targetPvPW = $gPlayerVar[13]
	 RestoreContext()
	 *msg %player% you deside to run away
	 *msg %target% %player ran away
	 sleep(1)
	 $gPlayerVar[14] = $gPlayerVar[14] +1
	 $targetPvPW = $targetPvPW + 1
	 sleep(1)
	 SetContext( $gTargetID )
	 $gPlayerVar[13] = $targetPvPW
	 RestoreContext()
	}

this changes both playervar for bothe players but shuld only change 1 for eace why dont it work right??

$gTargetID is not valid in OSDSelect (You're selecting a generic button, not doing something specific to a particular player). You need to use params to pass in the target - whcih you're doing up to the last step.

i.e

Code: Select all

osdaddat(OSDIMAGE, 235, 250, 330, 30, "2|$gTargetID", "http://i49.tinypic.com/2qtl6l4.jpg")

is good.. you're setting up an image button called '2' with the target ID as the first parameter. ($gTargetID is valid in this MenuSelect event because its one that happens to a specific target player)

Now your OSDSelect event needs to pick up that parameter and use it. Essentially that means adding $myTargetID = $gParam[1]. (You need then to remove references to $gTargetID and %TARGET% - which'll never be valid in an OSDSelect event).

So your modified version of the OSDSelect "2" event would be:

Code: Select all

EVENT("osdselect", "PvP:2") 
   {
   $myTargetID = $gParam[1] 
   $targetName = sysGetPlayerName( $myTargetID )
 
    SetContext( $myTargetID ) 
    $targetPvPW = $gPlayerVar[13] 
    RestoreContext() 
    *msg %player% you deside to run away 
    *msg $targetName %player% ran away 
    sleep(1) 
    $gPlayerVar[14] = $gPlayerVar[14] +1 
    $targetPvPW = $targetPvPW + 1 
    sleep(1) 
    SetContext( $myTargetID ) 
    $gPlayerVar[13] = $targetPvPW 
    RestoreContext() 
   }

(and while im here.. theres a few bits in that code block that arent really necessary. A more optimal version that does essentially the same job would be :

Code: Select all

EVENT("osdselect", "PvP:2") 
{
   $myTargetID = $gParam[1] 
   $targetName = sysGetPlayerName( $myTargetID )
 
    SetContext( $myTargetID ) 
    $targetPvPW = $gPlayerVar[13]
    $gPlayerVar[13] = $gPlayerVar[13] + 1
    RestoreContext() 

    *msg %player% you deside to run away 
    *msg $targetName %player% ran away 
    $gPlayerVar[14] = $gPlayerVar[14] +1 
}

anybody know if these exist?

*removebuildinginvestment
$gBuildingInvestment

I seem to think they do, but I can't find any record in the lists (or I'm not lookign hard enough)
