increment numeric variable
GameBoy
02 Dec 2003, 00:10player startscript if ($name(#playerid#)$ = Squiggle ) then inc <hp[playerid]; 9900>
if anybody can find a fault in that, please correct it for me, coz it wont work... very odd. i might have $name(#playerid#)$ written wrong...

02 Dec 2003, 00:12Where did you get #playerid#? I know of userid, which is an array. So it's %userid%. Such as $name(%userid%)$
GameBoy
02 Dec 2003, 00:23Alex said its not userid its playerid but is it a string or a numeric variable? i dunno
Cryophile
02 Dec 2003, 00:24It's playerid??? Now i'm confused... It should be a %% since it's a number.
GameBoy
02 Dec 2003, 00:36yeah but i want it to find the player name not the player ID. i dont know, see what alex/Al/CW/ITID has to say lol, they're far more better than i

02 Dec 2003, 00:41Check the manual. It says it is $name(userid)$
not playerid and there are no ## or %%.
just something like dec <health[userid];2>

02 Dec 2003, 08:30yeah thats when decrementing a numberic variable belonging to the player, im just trying to see if the player name is set to squiggle before i give it godly powers.
Actually I said it WAS USERID NOT PLAYERID!

02 Dec 2003, 12:40no u didnt!! lol. I showed you the code and asked why it wouldnt work, it said userid in it and you said "it needs playerid" lol.
Anyway, Alex, could you please correct my code so it will work, thanks for the help 8)

No, you had userid in one part and playerid in the other. See:
What code needs correcting now? Can't you try and work it out yourself for once... perhaps read the manual.........
[23:46:49] !!!!PrOuD tO: i cant even get this right...
[23:46:50] !!!!PrOuD tO: player startscript if ( $name(%userid%)$ =
Squiggle ) then inc <hp[playerid]; 9900>

02 Dec 2003, 17:35see then completely confused me.... im supposedto change <hp[playerid]; 9900> to <hp[userid]; 9900>
Cryophile
02 Dec 2003, 19:46that's what I thought to begin with. Are there %'s? I don't think so, but I would like confirmation.

02 Dec 2003, 20:57no %s for the number vars in an array.
Cryophile
02 Dec 2003, 21:25Right. But you can use %userid% by itself in a msg or something, I think.

03 Dec 2003, 01:10$name(%userid%)$ displays the player name
