well guys i'd like to create a small area after dclicking an item, this area should be at dclicked item's possition as reference and may increase its size depending on some conditions, and also be removed (the area) when a timer gets to 0


i need some help about how could i do that?

ON=@Dclick
if (<baseid> == i_blah)
EVENT????
FUNCTION???
endif

should i add somekind of event??? function?
i need the basics..

ty very much.

I'm not sure, but I think you can't make dynamic areas.

To add events on items -> events +t_events or tevents +t_events
To run functions, just call itself.

Ty, too bad i can't do nothing about the areas :<
i think i might use foritems/forchars to add some flags to nearby players, :/

There may be other ways to do what you want, try to give a general explanation of your idea and we may come with a solution

I don't understand why they never explain what they're planning to do.
Then I always answer with mininum words.

Of course there is a way to do what he wants, but he never say in his threads!!

i dont always say what i am trying to do because i complicate things...
but Extreme made me clear that its not possible to make dynamic areas... and the title is quite precise in my opinion...
but it's my fault... because im not totally sure about which conditions, events or functions i'd use....
at first i wanted to know if i could make a temporaly area by double clicking an item so i could add some flags to players when entering on it.. that's pretty much it

How the players will enter in this area? Dcliking the item? If yes, just set them to get the events/flags when dclicking the item.
What are you trying to do? An arena?

no, its not an arena, @dclick, src double clicks an item, nearby characters gets a flag.
which reference should i use inside a function for character dclicking?

with an areadef i would have used @step

[ITEMDEF i_myitem]
...

ON=@DClick
REF1 = <SRC> //store who dclicked the item if needed
REF2 = <UID> //store the item if needed
FORCLIENTS 5 // affect only logged in players in a radius of 5 or whatever radius you want
SAY Item <REF2.NAME> was dclicked by <REF1.NAME> and I was affected
TAG.MYFLAG = 1 //store the flag on nearby characters
ENDFORCHARS

tag/ctag only?

[itemdef blah]
...

ON=@Dclick
F_bla // this will run the function on the dclicked item, not on people
src.F_bla // this will run in who dclicked the item

[Function F_bla]
ref1 = <src> // if you run the function on item, it should work and <src> = who dclicked
ref1 = <uid> // this is 'who' or 'what' you used the function

it wont work :/

Its logic, if you run the function on item, <uid> = item and maybe <src> = who dclicked
if you run the function on who dclicked <uid> = who dclicked
