Unexpected type for argument error.

[BigBurrito]

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening. I'm still learning how to manage these values. Thank you in advance.

 

prontera,150,150,1	script	Pronterian#1::Pront[1]	844,{


OnInit:
getmapxy("$mapPRT"+strnpcinfo(2)+"$", $xPRT["+strnpcinfo(2)+"], $yPRT["+strnpcinfo(2)+"], UNITTYPE_NPC, "strnpcinfo(3)");

end;
}

I get this on my console:

[Warning]: Unexpected type for argument 2. Expected number.
[Debug]: Data: string value="+strnpcinfo(2)+"

My bad, i missed an apostrophe XD

getmapxy(getd("$mapPRT"+strnpcinfo(2)+"$"), getd("$xPRT["+atoi(strnpcinfo(2))+"]"), getd("$yPRT["+atoi(strnpcinfo(2))+"]"), UNITTYPE_NPC, strnpcinfo(3));

Anyway we can help you better if you post the script or infos of what you really want to achieve.

Maybe this could help too

-	script	Pronterian	-1,{
	end;

OnInit:
	donpcevent "::OnSetPCoord";
	end;

OnSetPCoord:
	.@id = atoi(strnpcinfo(2));
	getmapxy(.@map$, .@x, .@y, UNITTYPE_NPC);
	setd "$@PrtMap"+.@id+"$", .@map$;
	setd "$@PrtX"+.@id+"", .@x;
	setd "$@PrtY"+.@id+"", .@y;
	end;
}
prontera,150,150,1	duplicate(Pronterian)	Pronterian#1	844
prontera,150,152,1	duplicate(Pronterian)	Pronterian#2	844
prontera,150,154,1	duplicate(Pronterian)	Pronterian#3	844

then fetch the variables with $@PrtMap1$ $@PrtX1 $@PrtY1 and so on..
PS: I haven't test the script myself

You have a few hidden symbols at first strnpcinfo(2) before and after 'o'

Just retype this part

[crazyarashi]

getmapxy(@mapname, @mapx, @mapy, UNITTYPE_NPC, "strnpcinfo(3)");

No need to make it hard :))

@Jarek what do you mean? Can you point it out if you wouldn’t mind please. Thanks :D

 

@crazyarashi that wouldn’t work for me.. since I’ll be duplicating the npc many times, and will be used in different locations, i dont want to set up one by one changing the numbers since i use these values couple of times in the middle of the script. Would be easier for me to just change the hidden npc name part and just change it to 1,2,3,4,5.... 

[Technoken]

You need to use getd to fetch the reference of the variable. and since strnpcinfo(2) returns a string, you need to convert it to number using atoi command.

Try

getmapxy(getd("$mapPRT"+strnpcinfo(2)+"$"), getd($xPRT["+atoi(strnpcinfo(2))+"]), getd($yPRT["+atoi(strnpcinfo(2))+"]), UNITTYPE_NPC, strnpcinfo(3));

 

[BigBurrito]

@Technoken interesting. I will try once i get home. I wonder if instead of #number i use letters. Like Pronterian#A , Pronterian#B, etc? Would i need to convert too? Thanks for your response.

Got this error now.

I think I'm gonna have to do it manually..

[BigBurrito]

I think I've found a workaround. Can anyone confirm if this would not interfere with each other?

PD: Also, I've noticed the use of prefix . (dot) However I might need to call for other npcs X and Y pos, that is why I'm doing it still with [.npcNum]

 

///////////NPC1

prontera,150,150,1	script	Pronterian#1::Pront[1]	844,{


OnInit:
set .npcNum, atoi(strnpcinfo(2));
getmapxy(.PronterianMap$, .xPRT[.npcNum], .yPRT[.npcNum], UNITTYPE_NPC, "strnpcinfo(3)");

end;
}

///////////NPC2
prontera,150,152,1	script	Pronterian#2::Pront[2]	844,{


OnInit:
set .npcNum, atoi(strnpcinfo(2));
getmapxy(.PronterianMap$, .xPRT[.npcNum], .yPRT[.npcNum], UNITTYPE_NPC, "strnpcinfo(3)");

end;
}


///////////NPC3
prontera,150,154,1	script	Pronterian#3::Pront[3]	844,{


OnInit:
set .npcNum, atoi(strnpcinfo(2));
getmapxy(.PronterianMap$, .xPRT[.npcNum], .yPRT[.npcNum], UNITTYPE_NPC, "strnpcinfo(3)");

end;
}

@Technoken Thanks man. Worked. 

I tried your second suggestion. Doing duplicates, but for some reason, the .@id only sets to one number for all NPCs. I check this by using mes "+.@id+"; and they all showed the same number even tho on the NPC name I assigned them different numbers. Maybe a bug? I dont really know why it happens.
