I have Icons on my map called Camaras and then in one room theres a computer called teh Camara Computer i want the camera computer to allow the user to choose what camara to watch.
Camara_Computer()I had a go but it isnt directly cenected to the camara just is on the spot where the camera is also it has a bug and isnt a good code how could i improve it and make it also conect to the camera no matter where that camera is. | |
Camara_ComputerI followed nearly everything u said yet it isnt working im confused i dunno why? | |
I followed nearly everything u said yet it isnt working im confused i dunno why? He's right, you followed basically nothing I've said. Your code doesn't use the tag anywhere (so even if you've set it, it has no effect). Re-read my previous post for more information. Though looks like I probably shouldn't bother, as this: Chrislee123 programmed: > DblClick(usr.client.eye != usr) Changes you from 'needing to read' this to HAVING to do it. You really need to read the ZBT tutorials, and then the DM Guide, because you don't understand the language enough yet to be using it. | |
Dude i just rly want ppl to stop giving complex answers that way i may learn....and tutorials dont help....i need you to tell me what to do and where to do it and what that actually does

The "answer" you want is complete code already written for you to copy&paste, but in actuality, that teaches MUCH less because you won't learn from simply copy&pasting. and tutorials dont help.... This is incorrect. Additionally, realize that a help post on the forums is basically a 'mini-tutorial' - both things tutor (/guide/help) you through getting something done. So if a tutorial can't help so, so can't I. Please read this article (it's different from the one I linked previously, and isn't a tutorial). i need you to tell me what to do and where to do it and what that actually does I already have. If you have truly tried to understand and follow my explanation, just tell me what you don't understand, and I'll attempt to explain it in more detail and clearness. Also, not only I can't help you if you're not willing to put an effort to help yourself first, I'm also not willing to. Remember, no pain, no gain. | |
Yer but it would be easier if you did it like this:
sleep(30) - Tells it to stop for 30 millaseconds tags - Camera(1) - thats blah blah blah Like that and also give an example other than what im gonna sue it for cause that would be rly effiecnt help and that way i can help myself by learning what it does and how to use it and etc. | |
I made a loop and a list so its looking quite good now but it would be better if i learned the tag thingy.
obj/camarasystem/Camera_Computer Right ill take a look at your first post. | |
goto is pretty bade practice why not make the DblClick call a proc and instead of goto just call the proc again.
| |
That's also bad practice. A proper loop construct should be used, not a repeating call, which gives relatively crappy implications. Also, not proofreading your post before posting is also a bad practice.
| |
obj/camarasystem/Camera_Computer Theres probably a few things wrong with this however look at it and look at the way you can select a camera just by adding them all into a list. This is what Kaioken was trying to explain. | |
obj Right i done that and added a couple more cameras. Y does it set them all to the camera? | |

This is invalid syntax, and it shows you don't really understand the DM language very well. You ought to read this.
It is kind of difficult to understand what you mean here and what is the specific problem with your code. However, I can reply to this part:
You could use the tag variable and the locate() proc in order to do this. Give every camera obj a unique tag variable (through the map editor's Instance Editor), then give the computer a variable that contains the tag(s) of the camera(s) it can access. The cameras (and their location) can then be dynamically found by your code that has access to the computer.
