Need help scripting.

Elm, you don't really need that last argument. It only exists for the use of really big objects like interiors

[elm]

So if I want to see if %targetName = nothing then would i do  this?

Code: [Select]

if(%targetname = "")?

No, that would set it to nothing. To compare strings use $

so

if(%string1 $= %string2)

or

if(%string1 !$= %string2)

if(%targetname = "")?

Targetname would never be blank, if we're still taking about the Raycasting.

Oh, didn't read that aiming part, lol.


Edit:

To shoot a raycast, here is the code below:

//%player should be defined above

What do you mean by that?

Targetname would never be blank, if we're still taking about the Raycasting.

Lets just say what if %potato was blank
Would that mean I would do

Code: [Select]

if(%potato $= "")
{

}?

[elm]

What do you mean by that?

It means that their should already be a %player that is defined, above that code.

[zefoo]

It means that their should already be a %player that is defined, above that code.

Like it should be something?
like %player = Zefoo?
Oh i get it.
So would

Code: [Select]

%player = %client.player.name(); work?

[elm]

Like it should be something?
like %player = Zefoo?

It should be an existing player object, so if that player object is yours or anyone else's, sure.

Re read what i said above.

[elm]

No, because first off, that name isn't stored to your player object, but to your client object. Secondly, the %player should be a player object, not a string.

So how would i get the person typing /command's name

Code: [Select]

%player = %client.player; ?

[elm]

Try learning from this:


function serverCMDShootRayCast(%client)
{
   //Define the client's variables
   //--
   %player = %client.player;
   %name = %client.name;
   //--
   
   %eyeVector = %player.getEyeVector();
   %eyePoint = %player.getEyePoint();
   %range = 100;
   %rangeScale = VectorScale(%eyeVector, %range);
   %rangeEnd = VectorAdd(%eyePoint, %rangeScale);
   %raycast = containerRayCast(%eyePoint,%rangeEnd,$TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType, %player);
   %object = %raycast.getId();

   if(isObject(%object) && %object.getClassname() $= "Player")
   {
      //Define the player who we are looking at's variables
      //--
      %objectName = %object.client.name;
      %objectClient = %object.client;
      //--
     
      messageClient(%client,'',"\c2You are looking at "@%objectName@".");
      messageClient(%objectClient,'',"\c2"@%name@" is looking at you.");
   }
}

[zefoo]

{
   if(isObject(%object) && %object.getClassname() $= "Player")
   {
      //Define the player who we are looking at's variables
      //--
      %objectName = %object.client.name;
      %objectClient = %object.client;
      //--
     
      messageClient(%client,'',"\c2You are looking at "@%objectName@".");
      messageClient(%objectClient,'',"\c2"@%name@" is looking at you.");
   }
}

And if i wanted to see if the object im looking at is not a player or not anything i would do this right?

Code: [Select]

       if(!isObject(%object) && %object.getClassname() $= "Player")
        {
            
        }

[elm]

No, you should change the $TypeMasks type. Go into your console and type $Typemasks then hit Tab until you see what you want. Alternatively you can do $TypeMasks::All I believe, then configure the if statement to filter out anything you don't want.

Would this be the compare not equal sign?
$!

Would this be the compare not equal sign?
$!

To compare strings:

$=
!$=

To compare anything else:

==
!=
