Drag Script Help

Hi, I am farely new to scripting - I have been following through John's tutorials lately. I am trying to test my skills and make a drag command. Can someone help me with this drag command? You are supposed to activate the drag tool by saying /drag and to turn off by /undrag

function drag()
if (player.ap =100)
if (player.chat = /drag)
if (player.chat = "/undrag")
mouse.x = mouse.x
mouse.y = mouse.y
player.chat = "Drag is turned on"
else (player.chat = "You cannot use this command!")

player.x = mousex
player.y = mousey

I just don't know the syntax for like how to pick the player up and stuff, how can you make it so it activates when you pick the player up.

Thanks

This is not to discourage you, but I believe a drag script is too complex for you. Try to make something much more easy. An example of something easy to code is to change the player's chat when they say "hi".

Also, just a few pointers on syntax

- Use semi colons after each statement

- Methods/Functions are cased in curly brackets, just imagine a box.

PHP Code:

---

function onPlayerChats() {
  if (condition) {
    // stuff
  } else if (condition) {
    // stuff
  } else {
    // stuff
  }
}

this would work if you want have multiple checks, but it seems more that he needs a combined if statements for a drag script.

PHP Code:

---

if( <argument> && <argument> && <argument>)
{
} 


---

if (player.ap =100) <<< so.. if the player has 100 attackpower then what?

I think you mean its

PHP Code:

---

If player=group.admin {
  then function drag()
  else null
  pause
 }

Im I right? :confused:

correct me if im wrong (bet im :c )
Im kinda confuse to attach the group to a script but I think my self this is wrong right away

I was just giving an example of a correct method and if statements. It was seperate from the drag script.

A drag script is a bit more advanced than that.

Ahh John, I didn't think it was tough, I try picturing the scripts in my head first then applying them, I got stuck.I tried to PM you on forum but your inbox is full, is there any way I can contact you if I have help? I don't want to spam threads.

I can usually do simple things, I know commands and functions and arrays and things.

Do you have a recommended thing I should try to build my skills with

You do realize ap means align point, meaning the color of your name

This is the simplest drag script I can create in under a minute:

PHP Code:

---

function onActionServerside(cmd, dat) {
  if (cmd == "drag") {
    findplayer(dat[0]).x = dat[1];
    findplayer(dat[0]).y = dat[2];
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.dplayer = "";
}

function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat == "/drag") setTimer(0.05);
  if (player.chat == "/dragoff") setTimer(0);
}

function onMouseDown() {
  for (pl : players) {
    if (pl.x in |mousex - 1, mousex + 1| && pl.y in |mousey - 1, mousey + 2|) this.dplayer = pl.account;
  }
}

function onTimeOut() {
  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "drag", {this.dplayer, mousex, mousey});
  setTimer(0.05);
}

triggerserver is in clientside, but when it's called, it triggers something in serverside..

Thank you
