Request Help defining player

[Mollieshane]

Hello, i'm trying to make a spell and i've got most of it down however, i cant seem to define the player ive looked through tons of the source but came up empty the piece im trying to define is

PlayerObject player = player;

it says its not set to the instance of an object and im not sure how to define it i have tried

PlayerObject Player = (PlayerObject)ob

but this also doesnt work, any help would be appreciated.

what kinda of skill you trying to make?

 

[Mollieshane]

hemorrhage only attacks from behind it checks both players directions here

if (player.Direction == targets.Direction)

but crashes because player isnt defined properly

 

[IceMan]

i dont remember it crashing on the master code? Did you compare to that?

 

[Mollieshane]

nah, i mean i changed hemorrhage to make it work only from behind sorta like backstab but when it checks your facing the back of the player it crashes because PlayerObject player = *****; isnt defined because im not sure what to put there.

Can't you look at the trading system ? Just do the opposite to what that checks

I have found the location of the players back but the code is asking me to define what player means ? Mate

Difficult to help if you don't post code lol which player are you trying to get? Attacker or target?

                #region BackStab                magic = GetMagic(Spell.BackStab);
                Direction = Direction;
[COLOR=#ff0000]                PlayerObject player = ;[/COLOR]
                MapObject targets = player.Target;


                if (magic != null)
                {
                    
                    {
                        if (player.Direction == targets.Direction)
                        damageFinal = magic.GetDamage(damageBase);
                         LevelMagic(magic);
                        S.ObjectEffect ef = new S.ObjectEffect { ObjectID = ob.ObjectID, Effect = SpellEffect.BackStab };


                        CurrentMap.Broadcast(ef, ob.CurrentLocation);


                        if (ob == null || ob.Node == null) continue;


                        long calcDuration = magic.Level * 2 + Luck / 6;


                        ob.ApplyPoison(new Poison
                        {
                            Duration = (calcDuration <= 0) ? 1 : calcDuration,
                            Owner = this,
                            PType = PoisonType.Bleeding,
                            TickSpeed = 1000,
                            Value = MaxDC + 1
                        }, this);


                        ob.OperateTime = 0;
                        BackStab = false;
                    }
                }
                #endregion

not able to define player so the script causes crashes, im trying to define the attacker not the target.

Thanks for the help

If thats within the PlayerObject class then just use the keyword 'this':

PlayerObject player = this;

or change your variables to exclude player.

 

[Mollieshane]

just checked and now it errors on the if (player.Direction == target.Direction) for reason "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Whenever you want to reference a property of an object, you should first check that it is not null.

if (player != null && target != null && player.Direction == targets.Direction)

or the short hand version ::

if (player?.Direction == targets?.Direction)

This will return false if either objects are null instead of throwing an exception.
