Prop ID Question

[Blacktearz89]

how do i find the prop ids for my props? the prop scripts im tryin to use require prop ids but where do i find them?? (sry if this sounds sorta dumb but im new at all of this)

For this you need to add a script to a room or your Palace Clients Cyborg script. You can check if you have a script already by saying "pid" in your Palace. without the " " quotes off course :)

If you know how to add a script to the Palace Client cyborg.ipt then here is the script:

if chatstr="pid" then
for i=1 to nbruserprops
s=s+format(userprop(i),"-0")+" "
next
logmsg chr(34)+trim(s)+chr(34)
chatstr=""
end if

Add it to the ON OUTCHAT part of the script, make sure you BACKUP the Cyborg.ipt before edting it, only edit it with textpad.

Then go to your Palace, wear the prop you want to addd, say "pid" and the prop id's should show up in the Palace log. You can copy paste them from there.

EDIT:

Ok found a dump script, this is a pretty handy script to add to your Cyborg, it drops the props at the point where your mouse is and gives you the prop IP numbers in the log, not sure but I think you can add this to a room by adding ON INCHAT to it:

;dump script to get prop ids and drop props at your mouse position
{
"" CHATSTR =
"" ttosay =
{ " " topprop itoa + theprop =
theprop ttosay + ttosay =
mousepos dropprop
} {topprop} while
"\"" ttosay + "\" " + logmsg
} CHATSTR "dump" == IF

thanks for your reply! much appreciated.

i'm not exactly sure how to add scripts to my cyborg, how do i go abouts doing that?

ok, i found the location of my cyborg.ipt and u say to only edit it in textpad....can i use notepad? pretty much the same thing right haha prolly a stupid question lol oh and how do i backup my cyborg?

Ooops yes it is called notepad on Windows, Textpad is the mac version. You van backup any file on your computer by simply duplicating it. Best thing to do: make a new folder inside your Palace folder, call it backup and COPY the cyborg and palace.prp (your props file) to the backup folder. This way you can always go back to what you had.

So how to add, well besides the whole MANUAL section we have with detailed instructions lol... (Palace Planet the Palace Chat community Portal - Advanced Features)

Open the cyborg.ipt in notepad, find the part that starts with ON OUTCHAT and add it just after that line.

Make sure you do not mess up any "if" or "endif" stuff, every piece of script should stay intact, if you are lucky there are blank lines in between every script in there.

Good luck :)

(I think something is wrong with the links in the clients manual... ooops.. and oh dear..)

ok so ive attempted to edit my cyborg but it will not let me save it. everytime i do it says "cannot create the c:\program files\brainhouselabs\......Cyborg.ipt file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct." which they are, so i dont understand why it wont let me. even when i try to replace the original file it says the same thing.
