an apple a day...??!!?!

[slippy]

hey all, im lookin to make an npc that will give players an apple every 24 hours...so if u click it itll give u an apple or else say...you've already had todays apple, come back later!

i know this is possible...can someon please post the script i need, or an example...ty ty in advance

 

[DeathWish]

lol hmm i know how to do it but it wud invlove the host clearing summin every 24 hours, maybe u cud make a program that does that instead, that wud be easy enough

 

[slippy]

no, there is an npc command that checks if its been 24 hours mate...i had it on an old server of mine, and i cant remember how,

 

[DeathWish]

o if there is i dont know it >.< ur good at programming arnt u? u can just make it delete a .txt file every 24 hours and thats it then its easy :P

 

[Lilcooldoode]

Only thing i can think of is the NPC giving apple to you only at a certain time of the day o.O

 

[DeathWish]

yea i tohught of that but then wot if u miss the time :S

 

[slippy]

yeah but if i make a program, itll require to make a massive npc script, that will take ages...i think i mite go for the "time of day" one...chestnut, whats the script if i wanna make it between the hours of 5 + 7?

 

[DeathWish]

lmao ages take me less than 5mins, 1sec

<Ok/@exit>\
#ELSEACT
Give Apple 1
Addnamelist apple.txt
#ELSESAY

<Thank you/@exit>\


lol wow thats massive :P

 

[Knightmare]

but that would mean u have to delete the file everyday because your name would still be in the apple.txt

 

[DeathWish]

ur good at programming arnt u? u can just make it delete a .txt file every 24 hours and thats it then its easy :P

lol if u get a program to do it auto then it dont matter

 

[slippy]

[DragonFlame]

whats a apple got to do with a farm may i ask?

 

[slippy]

right, we set it up so players can buyt houses with a garden, which has all stuff like trees (which well pretend are apple trees) and stuff, then u have an apple picker npc, and a meat npc who will give u meat everyday

 

[DragonFlame]

[slippy]

yeah, but u dont gotta kil, the npc will kill em off so it looks good, then give u the meat

 

[DragonFlame]
