Phil Assignment 1

Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerTouchsMe(){
  if (player.nick in {"Phil Smith", "David K?", "Zeus Condero"}){
    this.chat="Scripting Class is the bomb!";
    sleep(2);
    player.chat= "I know!!";
  }
  else {
    player.SendPm("Do you Know about Scripting Class?");
  }
}

I didn't really want to go that far out of the assignment, but I needed the creativity and I was kinda bored.

It's good to go that extra limit, it helps us learn. ^.^; I thought in was only for like player.x in |,| ... didn't know about any other uses for in..

And I recently learned it.. so it works for arrays too? Anything else?

I don't suggest using "foo in |var,var2|" in this example, because "|var,var2|" is considered "between", such as "if number10 is between 0, and 20".

for your example, using brackets would be alot better (normal array), such as

Code:


this.array = { "me", "you", "hello", "something" };
if (var in this.array)

// or...

if (var in {"me", "you", "hello", "something"} )


edit: jeeze, find the PHP tag's already, i can't even tab to make it look better...

No worries, I was asking if there were any other ways to use it in general, and stating that was the only way I was taught. ^.^

But in this case I can see it being used in a good way.. if player touchs me this.chat = ???; then a statement using while player.x or player.y in |x1,x2| and such, the npc could keep talking..

If I were creating a level I'd like the npc to be as interactive as possible.. if the npc was showcharacter it would say more than one thing, would talk if hit, thrown at, or possibly grabbed..

Most levels I go into I slash or throw something at the npc character to test it out. :3 Sadly no one does anything that far.. D:


Either way, I'd still like to know... are there any other ways to use 'in'? I don't quite understand 'with' either..

i am not aware of all the uses of "in" but i do know the two basic ones, and that is the array and "between" (as i'd like to call it), i've heard that there are a few more, but i don't know the uses of those, and therefor i'm not going to speculate in what those does.

about throwing a bush at a npc, AFAIK; there is no way to detect if a npc been hit by a bush or a stone, unless there is some undocumented event that i've never heard of.
showcharacter should be showcharacter(); too, as without the (); it is GS1.

the best way to detect if someone is "in-range" using the "between-method" is in a timeout event, where you are checking if there is anyone close to it endlessly.

Ahh I see.. hopefully Phil know.. D:

Slightly unsure why the conversion was listed, but I know it's under GS1, I suppose it could work in GS2 as well:

peltwithblackstone the npc was pelt with a blackstone
peltwithbush the npc was pelt with a bush
peltwithnpc the npc was pelt with another npc
peltwithsign the npc was pelt with a sign
peltwithstone the npc was pelt with a stone
peltwithvase the npc was pelt with a vase

I can't say I've tried them but they are listed in the command list I posted. I'll have to try it thursday...
Can't now..

I guess it depends what you are doing ..
Someone may want to use a while to only check endlessly once until they are out of the 'area'. But even with timeout you can have an 'off and on' switch so it turns off out of range, and after the playertouchs npc it could set it back on until they leave again.. Personal preferences lol Could even use an infinite for loop.. D:
