Fonline Development Common Mistakes and Pitfalls.

(1/1)

Slowhand:
As the title suggests, he is a collection of commonly made mistakes.

Good to know:


* You can reload client scripts without restarting server. Very useful for unit testing function.
Common mistakes:

Pitfalls:


* When a character is offline (and enough time passes?) or server resets, it's object (Critter& player) will be freed. Thus a Critter& player object can become a null reference exception on a timer, stucking some value indefinitely. Always use ID's instead of objects to get game variables, etc.
* Using Critter.Stat[SK_SMALL_GUNS] for Skills, instead of Critter.Skill[SK_SMALL_GUNS].

OO related:

* You cannot load sprites images in class constructor. Wasted 2 days on that.
