Jimbo | Assignment 1

Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
  if (player.nick == "Jimbo") {
    this.chat = "Hi Jimbo!";
  }
  else {
    this.chat = "Hi stranger!";
  }
}

I used to know more GS2, but I quit Graal for more than a year and forgot most of it. I've decided to come back and subscribe to this scripting school since I now have taken 2 programming classes in college, and I want to compare and see if I can push GS2 further with what I have learn in class so far!

This is good, the only thing I have to state is, I think you know that it only works by your nickname and once that is changed it will not work..

But maybe that wasn't your intention ^.^;

findPlayerbyCommunityName(community name)
findPlayer(account)

would work for your personal community name or account.

or even

findPlayerbyCommunityName(community name).nick
findPlayer(account).nick

would work for only you, and if you have that specific nick name.


Other then that, I think you will do fine with using what you already know in other classes!

I haven't played Graal much since pre 2010 I suppose. That's my qualifier for this question...

Are community names the names displayed for Graal##### accounts? Can community names be changed? For those with older accounts... would

findPlayerbyCommunityName(darthSaKi)

work if my (classic) account is darthSaKi?

I get this confused sometimes when I'm stating it, because I too am a classic account.

Examples -
Account Number : Graal123456
Community Name: Pineapples

But yes, because our classic accounts are the same, we can use both findPlayer(); and findPlayerbyCommunityName();
however, you'd have to use quotes around the name.

findPlayerbyCommunityName("darthSaKi")

should work. ^.^;

I did know I was using nicknames, and that it wouldn't work when the nickname would be changed

But thanks for the information you gave on community names and graal account numbers, I didn't know that!
