Advanced Scrolling maps

[Matt]

I was wondering if anyone knows where to start for blitting the items on the surrounding maps. So that if you're standing on map one, you can see the items on map 2.

Just need a pointer in the right direction.

[Matt]

Wow, you lost me. Lol.

Would this same method work for npcs and players?

And would you be willing to get on gtalk and help me out?

[Matt]

Hm.. I know you weren't trying to lose me, but it's not hard these days. Lol.

I figured you'd give me a little more help, but hey, a little help is better than none. Thanks alot Ver. I'll see if I can get this done.

[Matt]

Sorry for double post, but when you said sendmapto, I assume you meant the subs like sendmapitemsto and sendmapitemstoall and so on, right?

[Matt]

Heh, sounds like it would work. Just doesn't get the gears in my head going. I dunno how to do what you're talking about. I was actually hoping for some sort of example, that would get me started. Once I get started, I can get it.

[Matt]

Well, I got the server to realize that there is an item on map 1 when I'm standing on map 2, though I can't get it to show for the life of me..

Any pointers?

I'm not going to give you the code (this time), but i'll give you this piece of info... if it knows it's there... and it isn't showing up... i'd look at the BltItem stuff.............


But seriously, kind of mess around with that stuff, and see if you get it... if you can't let me know and i'll try to hint you through it... kind of like i did with binary stuff...

Make it so you download the surrounding maps of your map, then after bltItem add 'bltItem Surround Maps' or something.

In there, go through the surrounding maps, seeing if there is an item (map(myindex).up) if so, blt it accordingly.

Make sure you only do it for the half that you can see. (Or quarter in the corner maps)
