Help with Grey ZOne

[zocheyado]

hey everyone i had a freind start to make a GREy and a BLUE zone , the blue zone u died and lost 1/3 ur EXP and GREY u could die but u would lose nothing , my freind assumed the grey area was for an arena so he named it arena and when i die it says has been killed by . has been defeted in the arena....i wnat it to say has been killed by and i dont want a red name , and i know this is kinda a lot, but i know it wont take anyone with some skill more then 10 mins and it is almost stopping production on my game so could anyone do that for me please?

Search for the text that is said when you died. Then you will find that Call PlayerMsg and just change the text and color.

i did it i found it changed the text and color but there is one more thing it says getplayername (victim) on BOTH sides of the txt should i change number 2 to stop it from saying i killed myslef?

[William]

Post the code

[zocheyado]

' Player is dead
If Map(GetPlayerMap(Victim)).Moral = MAP_MORAL_ARENA Then
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " was killed by " & GetPlayerName(Victim) & "." & (GetPlayerName(Victim) & " lost no EXP."), BrightRed)
Else
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & GetPlayerName(Victim), BrightRed)
End If

You should not use Victim as the Index for both the killed and the killer. Check what more Index there is in that sub.

i know i dont want vitim and victim it says i kill myself >> i was asking what i put in to change that

[Rian]

you need to change it to attacker. This should work.


' Player is dead
If Map(GetPlayerMap(Victim)).Moral = MAP_MORAL_ARENA Then
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " was killed by " & GetPlayerName(Attacker) & "." & (GetPlayerName(Victim) & " lost no EXP."), BrightRed)
Else
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & GetPlayerName(Attacker), BrightRed)
End If

that is what i am getting , any other help?

[Gilgamesch]

heh, you need the sub: playerattackplayer (or something like that) and not npcattackplayer

[Rian]

Since we're looking for the npcs name, instead of a players name, and we already have a variable that holds the npcs name, which is "Name"

Just replace

Code:

GetPlayerName(Attacker)

With

Code:

Name

omg this is sooo close i got it narrowd down now it works it says " has been killed by but then after that it says "

[Rian]

I think the code you want is just below what you've circled. It's hard to tell. I don't really get what you're saying about EXP, and it's really easier if you post code instead of screen shots.

[zocheyado]

when i die it says "omally has been killed by a pigon. omally has lost no exp, im trying to get rid of that last part

[Rian]

Post some code please.

[zocheyado]

Code:

' Player is dead
        If Map(GetPlayerMap(Victim)).Moral = MAP_MORAL_ARENA Then
            Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " was killed by a " & Name & "." & (GetPlayerName(Victim) & " ."), BrightRed)
        Else
            Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & Name, BrightRed)
        End If

[Rian]

you could change it to this:

If Map(GetPlayerMap(Victim)).Moral = MAP_MORAL_ARENA Then
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & Name, BrightRed)
Else
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & Name, BrightRed)
End If

Or, most simply, remove all that and just add this:

' Announce Players Death
Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Victim) & " has been killed by " & Name, BrightRed)
