will test it out after my stupid history class

[50% Packetloss]

ew, just read through the merv tutorial, guess i could have used playertags instead of having a new variable in the player stuct. o well, works the same

[k0zy]

Does it use *objset ?

[50% Packetloss]

nope, *objon and *objoff, havent heard of *objset, explain...?

[SuSE]

"?objset +1,+2,+3,-78,+24,-33,-12,"

that would turn on the images with object ids 1, 2, 3, and 24 - and it would turn OFF numbers 78, 33 and 12

one command line instead of typing seven different commands

it doesn't really matter, especially in this case since there isn't really a need to turn images both on AND off simultaneously

[50% Packetloss]

ew, bot doesnt support overlapping object areas, ill get on fixing that

[k0zy]

[SuSE]

I suppose you could use it in that instance - but would it be worth the extra coding?

eh, whatever

[ExplodyThingy]

Not really. In fact it may even be less coding. Store all the obj numbers to a string, including the +- as needed. Then simply send the string with a *objest stuck in front. This way it does not need to pick between a *objob or *objoff, especially if there is ever a need to send more than one of those, such as a switch between them. Its how i simpliefied the scoreboard for MG.

I think your bot differs from the original request (perhaps by design)

To me it sounds like the request was that you would only see inside the building if you were inside, otherwise you would see the roof. Whereas it seems you've made it so everyone can see inside if there is someone in there.

[50% Packetloss]

dont think you can turn a object off for one person and leave it on for another. Objects are either ON or OFF, for everyone in the arena. Or i havent seen otherwise

[50% Packetloss]

almost done with one that will allow overlaping object areas. just going to test everything and make sure it is stable
should fix questions like this guy has,

You need to send *objset privately to do it individually. If someone helps me out with my ASSS module it will have this functionality (see my plea in Custom Code).

[50% Packetloss]

ok, sounds fair, ill see what i can do. let me make sure i get this right, i can just PM a player with
ex- /*objset +5, or /*objset -5,

and a comma has to be placed at the end? would /*objon 5 or /*objoff 5, work also with Priv messages?

[Smong]

most likely, yes

[50% Packetloss]

thx for the help smong, added that to the bot so that you can specify if you want an object to be sent privatly or not.

[50% Packetloss]

Bot now supports overlaping coords, so that a player could be in multiple areas at once. You can use this for switching between 2 objects, like above, a player moves behind a tree, the tree becomes transparent. Also included the stallion smong's comment, you can set a object to be turned on privatly to a player, /*objon 1, so that the example at the top can be done now.

Code: Show/Hide #objects.ini examples [Obj1] #   ^------- Up to 255 Objects, can be increased by editing bot source FromX1=459 FromY1=472 #^^^^^^^^---- Topleft corner, for object to be switched on/off FromX2=481 FromY2=488 #^^^^^^^^---- Bottomright corner, for object to be switched on/off ObjStart=1 #        ^---- Object starts turned on or off, 1=ON AND 0=OFF SentPrivate=0 #           ^----- Object is sent privatly to a player if set to 1, 1=ON AND 0=OFF ObjNum=1 #^^^^^^^^^---- Object Number (found in the lvz's .ini file) [Obj2] FromX1=459 FromY1=472 #----------- FromX2=481 FromY2=488 #----------- ObjStart=0 SentPrivate=0 ObjNum=2 [Obj3] FromX1=459 FromY1=544 #----------- FromX2=481 FromY2=561 #----------- ObjStart=0 SentPrivate=1 ObjNum=3

cool I really will try to test it sometime

[WarFan]

Hey 50,

Just got back from a trip and see you have the bot finished..sweet! My first run, I had troubles getting it to work but Ill keep trying.Does it matter if the lvz image is in a certain layer to work ( aftertiles..ect ). Heres my objects.ini -

16x16 image in the IMAGE1 slot of the lvz, it shows on the map when you enter but doesnt seem to want to switch off when I move over it. The dll is in mervbot spawns.txt as tile ( renamed it to tile instead ofTM Baw- LVZ ). The plugin shows up as installed when I do a /!plugins to my bot.

Code: Show/Hide [Obj1] #   ^------- Up to 255 Objects FromX1=8192 FromY1=8192 #^^^^^^^^---- Topleft corner, for object to be switched on/off FromX2=8192 FromY2=8192 #^^^^^^^^---- Bottomright corner, for object to be switched on/off ObjStart=1 #        ^---- Object starts turned on or off, 1=ON AND 0=OFF SentPrivate=0 #           ^----- Object is sent privatly to a player if set to 1, 1=ON AND 0=OFF ObjNum=1 #^^^^^^^^^---- Object Number (found in the lvz's .ini file)

Im sure its a simple problem on my end. Thanks for the bot, great stuff!

[50% Packetloss]

you have lvz coords in there , divide those by 16 to get the correct ones
or open SSME and get the coords that way

it uses map coords instead of lvz coords

[50% Packetloss]

Code: Show/Hide [Obj1] #   ^------- Up to 255 Objects FromX1=512 FromY1=512 #this is where the image starts FromX2=528 FromY2=528 #then add 16 to it for the bottom corner of the image ObjStart=1 #        ^---- Object starts turned on or off, 1=ON AND 0=OFF SentPrivate=0 #           ^----- Object is sent privatly to a player if set to 1, 1=ON AND 0=OFF ObjNum=1 #^^^^^^^^^---- Object Number (found in the lvz's .ini file)

so here is another example

Code: Show/Hide (0, 0) +--------+ |        | |        | |        | +--------+ (10, 10) Then we just put in the ini: FromX1=0 FromY1=0 #^^^^^^^^---- Topleft corner of obj area, on the map FromX2=10 FromY2=10 #^^^^^^^^---- Bottomright corner of obj area, on the map

[WarFan]

ok, Ill give that a try

[Dustpuppy]

That example looks strangely familiar...
