OnInit question.

[Lil Troll]

Hi guys, i just need to clarify something, is OnInit: works like this case below even no global vars used?

- script blahblah -1,{
OnInit:
setarray .blahblah,501,502,503,504,505;
setarray .blah,1,2,3,4,5;
end;
}
function script blah1 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah2 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah3 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah4 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah5 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah6 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah7 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah8 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}
function script blah9 {
 for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.blahblah) .@i++){
  if(isequipped(.blahblah[.@i]) mes .@i+". "+getitemname(.blahblah[.@i)+" "+blah[.@i]+" ";
 }
return;
}

That wouldn't work since OnInit will only trigger on the current script where they are.

OnInit will always run in an enabled script.

The issue is that you're setting NPC variables, which can only be directly referenced in that one NPC. Since your functions are external, you have to use the Getvariableofnpc command to access them.

Thanks sir Euphy, am more enlightened.

Thanks sir Euphy, am more enlightened.

 

Alternatively including the function inside the npc will allow it to access npc variables... but you have to remember each function takes it's own scope... Also returning from a function inside an npc will reinstate your old scope variables, but the function will only be available to that npc.

	function f_func;
	set .@Scope_Variable, 2;
	set .NPC_Variable, 1;
	f_func();
	dispbottom ""+.@Scope_Variable; //Will display 2.
	end;
	
	function f_func {
		dispbottom ""+.NPC_Variable; //Will display 1.
		dispbottom ""+.@Scope_Variable; //Will display 0.
		return;
	}
}
