Why doesn't this function work? - Norn - 05.09.2009

pawn Код:

stock GetPlayerIDFromName(playername[])
{
    new name[255];
  for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
  {
    if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
    {
      GetPlayerName(i,name,sizeof(name));
      if(strcmp(playername, name, false) == 0)
      {
        return i;
      }
    }
  }
  return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
}
forward AddNPC(name[64], skin, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:angle);
public AddNPC(name[64], skin, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:angle)
{
  ConnectNPC(name,"npcidle"); //npcidle is just a blank script default with the 0.3 package.
  new npcid = GetPlayerIDFromName(name);
  SetSpawnInfo(npcid, 0, skin, x, y, z, angle, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
  return 1;
}

AddNPC is the function that doesn't work, GetPlayerIDFromName works fine.

NPC connects to the server, but he's not ingame. Any ideas?

Norn, you have to spawn your NPC. SpawnPlayer(id).

I'm not certain, because my test script spawns any player automatically when they connect.

I never used SpawnPlayer(playerid) as i was told that the NPC spawns automatically on connection like you said.

Can you test it in your script and see if it works for you? Perhaps i have a script bug.

Alright brb.

Edit:

Alright I completely tested with and without auto-spawning. My bot Does connect and Is in-game. My guess is it has something to do with your "npcidle" (i used my own npcmode).

npcidle is just this

pawn Код:

//
// NPC Test Script
// Kye 2009
//

#include <a_npc>

//------------------------------------------

main()
{
  printf("npcidle: running");
}

//------------------------------------------

And my other npcs work fine doing it the old fashioned way, i wonder whats wrong.

I tryed your function with the npcidle. The bot still connects and is still in-game.

Edit: But he spawns in the defualt place, not in the place defined by your function.
