Thread: What's the correct way to make attack only appear in wilderness?

lol unless your going to make it so its impossible for any other client to connect its not smart to do that much client sided, but little things isn't that bad as long as you have some protection.

That's what she said.

Yeah, put attackButton() wherever steps are processed. There'll still be a bit of processing but definitely not as much. Also if you are using actual wilderness you can use an extra check..

Code:

if(absY > 3500)
attackButton();

Don't really know where wild starts but 3500 is probably pretty close.

The one silabgarza is talking about didnt let you attack people.

However the falador massacre happened because some guy booted his hundreds of guests out of his house, which was a big strain for the server causing all the guests to still have the ability to attack players.

just make it check if its in the wild\pits\where ever else you fight at.

I don't recall saying it was the best?

How would it cause "adverse effects"? An extra bit of processing? That's a hell of a lot better than processing in the whole map.

I never said make everything above 3500 Y wilderness, I said check for wilderness above 3500 Y.

Youd call that frame every time you take a step

It would already be called every 500 or so MS if it was in process??

I don't understand what you guys are looking for.....it isn't going to get much more efficient than step-by-step processing in a certain area..
