CEO's GMHidingstone

[CEO]

Summary:
/*
Script Name: GMHidingStone.cs
Author: CEO
Version: 1.1
Public Release: 06/05/04
Updated Release: 10/06/05
Purpose: A stone that allows for multiple hide/appear effects for counselors and above.
*/

Updated to 1.1:
Added 4 additional effects provided by Jebbit.
Added the ability to set the color of the effect.

I've lurked here for about a week. I've always been impressed when someone's first post is a script on the forums I moderate, so figured this would be the only chance I'd get to do the same thing.

And it also proves anyone with abit of motivation and ability to read and learn can write something. This is my first ever .cs program let alone runuo script/program.

I hope someone finds it useful.



Description:
Although it's called GMHidingStone it can be used by Counselors or higher. This stone, when clicked, will hide or appear the GM to players. The property gump gives you the ability to modify the effect for both hiding or appearing using several different methods from flamestrike to multiple explosions/lightning effects. Very pretty to watch too!

Installation:
Unzip the file, Install gmhidingstone.cs in custom scripts folder and restart runuo.

Thanks! It's my first, quite simple really, but I thought useful and a good "first program" to code and good first effort IMHO. I'll have a few more as I tinker around and get time to learn more when I'm not working other things. Fun stuff too, hats off to Ryan for making something like this possible and completely freeing us from the OSI shackles.

[raffy]

Can't wait to see your future scripts sir! As all of your other programs worked perfectly for me!

[infotech1]

[Jebbit]

I will give it a go. Toss some feed back. Good to see you on the Runuo boards. Jebbit from Easyuo

[Jebbit]

Been having a blast with this script. All my helpers have their own special entrance and exit. I hae also added 5 more effects to it as well. We do whats called a full throttle effect with it. We have it repeat and run around dragging the multiple effects behind us. Makes some pretty cool animation considering the game lacks in that area. Thanks again for bringing something fun and practical to the game.

Aslong as CEO doesnt object, please post your mods

[nomad707]

Good to see you on Runuo forums CEO.
Ive used yer turbo tailor scripts before, Nice work, If you get that good at scripting for runuo,,,, wow, We can all expect great scripts from ceo!

[PennyLane]

CEO you have been my euo hero for a long long time nice to see you here!

[BIRD-MAN]

Nice script man, it will help out alot on my shard.

CEO,
With your permission, I'd like to post some mods I have done to this script that handle the delays better and I added an extra effect... I never really liked the default delay with [hide and [unhide and your GMHidingStone could really use it too. The delays are setup by a variable so that each effect can have its' own delay amount. I modded this for RunUO 1.0.0, so if I post it, I would like to post it in the RunUO 1.0.0 scripts.

Please let me know!

[kyleman]

[ohhello]

how do i make it to where theres one just with a lightning bolt?

[Orbit Storm]

Eeerm.. I know this is a late download..lmao.. but can anyone that uses this thing tell me what exactly this error is from?

- Error: Scripts\Customs\GMHidingStone.cs: CS0234: (line 13, column 14) The type or namespace name 'StoneEffect' does not exist in the class or namespace 'Server' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

If anyone can help out I'd really appreciate it

[Ohms_Law]

*sigh*
what'd you delete?
first few lines (after the using references) should be:

namespace Server.Items 
{ 
	public enum StoneEffect {

you somehow modified or removed the namespace declaration.

[Orbit Storm]

errrm... it does have that.. thats the problem... when i downloaded this thing i didn't get any "StoneEffect" file... lol
Heres what i have:

/*
Script Name: GMHidingStone.cs
Author: CEO
Version: 1.0
Public Release: 06/05/04
Purpose: A stone that allows for multiple hide/appear effects for counselors and above.
*/
using System;
using Server;
using Server.Misc;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Targeting;
using Server.StoneEffect;
namespace Server.Items
{
public enum StoneEffect {
FlameStrike1, FlameStrike3, FlameStrikeLightningBolt, Sparkle1, Sparkle3, Explosion, ExplosionLightningBolt, DefaultRunUO

[Ohms_Law]

ok, then tell me where this:

using Server.StoneEffect;

came from?

[Orbit Storm]

LMAO.... no frickin idea..... it was there.. odd.... lol.... let me delete it and tell you what happens.. lol...

My newest motto.. "If it doesn't work, delete the damn thing"



***Edit***

On after thought.. is this error of the same problem?? lol

- Error: Scripts\Customs\Complete Event System V1.0\EventSword.cs: CS0234: (lin
e 18, column 22) The type or namespace name 'ChylothStaff' does not exist in the
class or namespace 'Server.Engines' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Scripts: One or more scripts failed to compile or no script files were found.
