I´m doing a script and I need to know if the surface wich the players target is walkable or not. (the surface are statics, not terrain, of course)

In the Spherewiki I have found the tile_flags defined in the sphere.ini, but I have only found how to read them with the MOVE <args> function. And I need to get the tile flags of a selected item, not the tile where the players stand or want move.

Anyone knows the syntax to read tilef values of items?

There is (was?) a built-in function CANWALK... I could find no useful documentation for it however, just this reference in the revisions:

Quote:13-04-2004, Balkon
- OF_NoHouseMuteSpeech (0200) - if enabled players are able to hear each other inside and outside the house
- Started remaking a CanSeeLos and CanWalk, temporary added EF_CanSeeLos_New (0800) to enable both changes
as for now it fixes shoot through walls an fall through the floor in house regions interception area bugs,
more changes here later...

What ChaveS wrote is indeed correct however a word of warning....

I was using tile_flagsin one of my scripts and honestly they are far from reliable. Identical tiles may or may not have the same flags.

Can I ask what you are using it for?

So, tflags was the function I was looking for. Thanks.

I´m using for my city building system. My server is pretty much similar to Minecraft, the players can build anything from the scratch. They build floors, walls, doors, roofs, and everything else tile to tile. And they configure his own towns like they want.

I needed the tflags to prevent some exploits and abuse of the system. I´m using also typer like t_floor, t_wall, t_roof,... but a double check is also important.

Interesting, what is your server?

Post: #7

It´s a spanish roleplay server, I don´t have any web yet, it is in alpha stage. We have only a forum of discussion.

When I´ll finish the development, I´ll put the link under my signature.
