I tried using

if(%col.getclassname() $= "PlayerStandardArmor")

But it doesn't work?

....why didn't you just put "echo(%col.getclassname());" so you'd know what it returns for a player?

Tried that, for some reason it didn't echo anything.

And, thanks Ephi that worked.

Another question: Is it possible to get someones name from their bl ID?

Code: [Select]

function findnamebyblid(%blid) {
� %cl = -1;
� for( %i = 0; %i < ClientGroup.getCount(); %i++) {
� � %cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
� � if (%cl.bl_id == %blid)
	%cname = %cl.name;
� � }
� return %cname;
}

And find player object by name:

Code: [Select]
function findobjectbyblid(%blid) { %cl = -1; for( %i = 0; %i < ClientGroup.getCount(); %i++) { %cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%i); if (%cl.bl_id == %blid) %pobject = %cl.player; } return %pobject; }

Both them scripts are identical...

Code: [Select]

function findplayerbyname(%name) {
  %cl = -1;
  for( %i = 0; %i < ClientGroup.getCount(); %i++) {
    %cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
    if (%cl.name == %name)
%cobj = %cl.player;
    }
  return %cobj;
}

And if you want the Client object:

Code: [Select]

function findclientbyname(%name) {
  %cl = -1;
  for( %i = 0; %i < ClientGroup.getCount(); %i++) {
    %cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
    if (%cl.name == %name)
%cobj = %cl;
    }
  return %cobj;
}

I searched for my old script, I posted a quote, edited quote to a name one and saved, then searched again and didn't notice I was quoting what I just posted. Fixed....I'm mad....trying not to rip apart the universe to punch you through the internet....because it was a simple little thing

Anyone know how to open a gui on the clients side? canvas.pushdialog(blah); works, but for some reason i seem to remember someone saying that's not how you do it.

In RTB i used something like commandtoclient('OpenClose'); but it doesn't seem to exist anymore?

-=>RR<=-MasterCE · March 31, 2007, 05:20:43 AM

You can't as what RTB did would actually be considered a type of exploit to opennig thigns on a client...you could actually spam that command and annoy the crap out of people on your server. No crap like that in Retail.

But how do i make it open for only the person that did it? Like when you hit something with a wrench, it opens the wrench gui. How i have my thing now, you hit something, and the gui opens for only me.

There already is a way to make annoying GUIs pop up in Retail. See the F11 BrickBin trigger.

Trigger code is dso'd?

I tried doing:

Code: [Select]

function clientcmdPush(%gui)
{
	canvas.pushDialog(%gui)
}

( Stolen from rtb :P )

But it just goes unknown function clientCmdPush.

Thats a load. That would just check that %player was equal to 1, or not nothing, or something.
