Can you use an int in ParseArg?
2002-03-28, 11:36 AM #1
So, if I set up an int and use it on the runspeed (for example), will it work right? Yes, I know this is easy to test, but I'm a little short on time, and I'm sure you all know anyway. Thanks for the help!

Hideki once suggested using JKstrings for parsearg, but Ive not heard of any success wiht that.


Parsearg() is used with strings. The value is contained inside of that string, so variables, IE ints, dont work.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're going to have to use a long set of relational tests with different parseargs to get what you're after. ^^^ Like he said, variables don't work with parsarg.

Plus it doesn't sync worth a crap (if at all?) through multiplayer.

Hold on. If I use ParseArg to change my run speed, why would it need to sync? Doesn't my speed just increase and then my position is sent out like normal? Or perhaps I missed something.

Beyond that, is there any way to have a slightly randomized run speed generated without using if's or a for loop (which I always screw up anyway)?

You would have to use an if statement and a Rand() statement, but it would be relatively simple.

Code: 
temp=Rand()*10
if (temp==1){
ParseArg(player, "whatever");
}
else if(temp==2){
ParseArg(player, "whatever");
}

etc.


Rather odd that you would want to use ParseArg to change ones speed...

temp will be a flex number so you need to use <= instead of ==. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
