I dont know about XML but you can use .ini file if you want to save location

save by
WriteIniString( "yourfile.ini", "Position", "Pos", format( "%.4f %.4f %.4f", player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, player.Pos.z ) );
and get by
local coord = ReadIniString( "yourfile.ini", "Position", "Pos" );

They are from Warcheif.

If you want a timer that save the pos automaticly than you also have to make a integer outside the timer and add 1 to it at the end of timer.

local i=0;

function mytimer(player)
{
WriteIniString( "yourfile.ini", "Position" + i, "Pos" + i , format( "%.4f %.4f %.4f", player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, player.Pos.z ) );
i++
}
dont forget to add i in the Position and Pos.we add it so the name dont match with any previous save as it will replace the previous other than making a new.
For reading u will use a for loop and u will ++ the number and get the positon.
also dont forget to split it in x,y,z
by
local splitpos = split( coord, " " );
local pos = Vector(split[0].tofloat(), split[1].tofloat(), split[2].tofloat());


Today i release a simple function
What it do is add a gate ,at the entrance of Mansion,which can open and close by hotkeys.

OnPlayerStart function.
we bind the key and create the gate here.Also we will make a global variable that tell us is gate open or close.
OnServerStart()
{
open <- false;
mansiongate <- CreateObject(6000,0,Vector(-277, -495, 10),255);

opengate <- BindKey(true,0x104F ,0,0); //The Key IS "O"
closegate <- BindKey(true,0x205A,0,0); //The Key IS "Z"
}

OnKeyDown function
where we will add our function.
function onKeyDown(player, bindid)
{
if(bindid==opengate)
{
if(open==false) MoveGate(player,mansiongate.ID,"open");
else MessagePlayer("Gate is already open.",player);
}

else if(bindid==closegate)
{
if(open==true) MoveGate(player,mansiongate.ID,"close");
else MessagePlayer("Gate is already closed.",player);
}
}

MoveGate function
we will open or close the gate here.
function MoveGate(player,gate, status)
{
local obj=FindObject(gate);
if(obj)
{
if(status=="open")
{


MessagePlayer("Opening Gate",player);
obj.MoveBy(Vector(8,0,0), 2800);
open=true;
}
else if(status=="close")
{

MessagePlayer("Closing Gate",player);
obj.MoveBy(Vector(-8,0,0), 2800);
open=false;

}
}
else MessagePlayer("Object could not be found.",player);
}

This is it for this function or
If you want to only use 1 key for both opening and closing then use this.

OnPlayerStart function.
Same just we dont bind the key "Z".
OnServerStart()
{
open <- false;
mansiongate <- CreateObject(6000,0,Vector(-277, -495, 10),255);

gate <- BindKey(true,0x104F ,0,0); //The Key IS "O"
}

OnKeyDown function
we will only use one key here.
function onKeyDown(player, bindid)
{
if(bindid==gate)
{
if(open==false) MoveGate(player,masiongate.ID,"open");
else MoveGate(player,mansiongate.ID,"close");
}

}


MoveGate function
Same func
function MoveGate(player,gate, status)
{
local obj=FindObject(gate);
if(obj)
{
if(status=="open")
{


MessagePlayer("Opening Gate",player);
obj.MoveBy(Vector(8,0,0), 2800);
open=true;
}
else if(status=="close")
{

MessagePlayer("Closing Gate",player);
obj.MoveBy(Vector(-8,0,0), 2800);
open=false;

}
}
else MessagePlayer("Object could not be found.",player);
}

Screenshots:

Actually it depend on others, which colour they want to add. So i didn't added any

It depend on player when he know about it.These are good but i think player would also need a list of skins/colors according to ids so he can choose the skin/color he really want instead of trying from 0 to end of the ids.

That's the code I posted.

Then that code should work.

Code: [Select]

// [Ka]Juppi's func from http://forum.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/index.php/topic,398.0.html
function GetForwardPoint( pos, angle ) // you must pass an angle in degrees
{
local rad = angle * PI / 180; // we convert to radians
                local x = pos.x, y = pos.y;
local x2 = x + 1.0 * cos(rad) - 25.0 * sin(rad); // we calculate
local y2 = y + 1.0 * sin(rad) + 25.0 * cos(rad);
                return Vector( x2, y2, pos.z ); // return a vector
}

Object.MoveTo( GetForwardPoint( player.Pos, player.Angle ) )

Not tested, but it should give you an idea.

That just move the object in only 1 place no matter what the angle is.
About u saying that it can give me idea i cant understand it.

I dont know about PI,cos,sin i am just in class 8 and it haven't been taught to us.

Anyone

I have an idea to use a custom object as a bullet but there is a problem.

I can make that object and also move it.But the problem is that how do I figure out in which direction to move.
For Example: I used it but i am pointing it a little away from straight but the object goes straight and missing the player.

Can anyone give any idea so that i can move object to where the player points.
I know its possible.

Ouch, that will spawn an infinite timer every time a player presses F3 two times.
It's better if you use one, infinite timer that will loop through all the players and update the text if they have the system enabled. That way you'll only end up with one timer overall, instead of a million after your server has run for an hour or two.

In that case i will just make a infinite timer on server start.
Well updated the code
