OnPlant: Problems...

[cucumberdude]

I've been trying to script a lil' cash mod for educational purposes and I am having problems with my brick plant detection. Can someone show me the right way to make this?

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdplantbrick(%client, %brick)
{
	if(%client.Blocks>=1);
	{
		Parent::ServerCmdplantbrick(%client);
		%client.Blocks--;
	}
	else
	{
		schedule(75,0,%brick.killbrick);
	}
}

I've tried a few forms other than this one and none of them have been sucessful. (For example, fxDTSbrick::onPlant()...)

Thanks!

Please tell me it's packaged.

There are different ways to do this, I'll just give you my version:

Code: [Select]

package BlockBuild
{
   function fxDTSBrick::OnPlant(%data, %brick)
   {
      if(%client.blocks>=1);
      {
         Parent::OnPlant(%data, %brick)
         %client.blocks--;
      }
      else
      {
         %brick.schedule(0,delete);
         %brick.getGroup().client.centerPrint("<just:center><color:ffffff>You do not have enough blocks to place this brick",3);
      }
   }
};
activatePackage(BlockBuild);

Or you can subtract the amount of resources compared to the area of the brick like so. This isn't tested since I'm not on my home computer.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdplantbrick(%client, %brick)
{
%Bmass = %brick.BrickSizeX * %brick.BrickSizeY * %brick.BrickSizeZ;

	if($BrickMass == "On")
	{
		if(%Bmass <= 0)
		{
			echo("Invalid Brick Mass!");
			%brick.BrickKill();
			return;
		}
		else
		{
		Parent::OnPlant(%data, %brick)
		%client.Bricks -= %Bmass;
		}
	}
}

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, but I don't believe you need quotes around "on", since it's one word. The parent also looks funny to me (although I wouldn't know) your modifying servercmdplantbrick, but your parenting ::onPlant. Just pointing out what looks funny to me, simply correct me if i'm wrong.

[AGlass0fMilk]

Yeah, that is an error, it wouldn't work.

Well, I feel like an idiot. When I wrote that I had two different notepads open and I guess that I took the wrong snippet from the other notepad. Also, I do believe you need the quotes because it's referring to it as a string, although I have no idea because I'm not on my home computer. Once I get to my other computer I'll post a working version.

Plus %brick is not an argument of servercmdplantbrick.

I'm not even sure what he's trying to kill in 75 miliseconds if there was no brick planted in the first place.

But you used == instead of $=?
So you're saying that's it's not a string. It still works, just you should use $= for checking strings.
And lilboarder is correct, you don't need the quotes because it's only 1 word but it's still better to use quotes.

fxDTSBrick::BrickKill does not exist. I assume you meant fxDTSBrick::killBrick.

[AGlass0fMilk]

My code should work.

[Chrono]

Your code won't work because you check for %client.blocks when you don't even have %client.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdplantbrick(%client)
{
	if(%client.Blocks>=1);
	{
		Parent::ServerCmdplantbrick(%client);
		%client.Blocks--;
	}
	else
		%client.centerPrint("<just:center><color:ffffff>You do not have enough blocks to place this brick",3);
}

This way the brick isn't even planted at all if they don't have the blocks, and we have %client as an argument so it will work.

Yep, what I posted was completely inaccurate.
