lol I have another Q for you. What would the code be (in gs1) if I'm trying to make it so only Events Team gang can touch this object (because this object has a script on it) so pretty much the script only activates if the object is touched by someone with the Events Team tag on.

if (playertouchsme && strequals(#g,Events Team)) {
//script goes here
}

if (playertouchsme && strequals(#g,Events Team)) {
//script goes here
}

Also, strequals means if they "match". I will translate john's code into English.

If a player touches me with the events team tag on, I should...
Thats how I think of code I write.

Strequals=String equals

It compares two strings and returns true if they are identical or false if they are not.

PHP Code:

strequals(Monkey, Monkey) <- returns true
strequals(Monkey, Banana) <- returns false 


#g is a GS1 variable containing your players current guildname.

So if my guild was "Amazing"

strequals(#g, Amazing) is effectively doing strequals(Amazing, Amazing) which would be true!

Now, since this function always returns true or false, you can use it in conditional statements (i.e. if () constructs).

PHP Code:

if (playertouchsme) {  // returns true if player is touching so next line!
  if (strequals(#g, Monkey) {   // returns true if guild if Monkey!
    setcharprop #c, Geez I hate GS1!!!;
  }
  else {
    setcharprop #c, You're not in my guild!!!;
  }
} 


Should work. Apply lateral thinking when scripting. If something works here, it may work over here? Do not expect to have your hand held the whole way through =/

ok for the tag team spar, lets say this npc is placed on Team Red's NPC :

once a player is dead, and you want them to a certain place:

to fix any confusions with the npc server, all players must be tag off exept the events team :

if (created) {
dontblock;
}
if (playertouchsme) {
player.#g = "Team Red"
}

actually, Gs1 is far easier than 2 (but i mix them up, it works on training )

This is wrong, you set player attributes in GS1 by doing:
setcharprop #g,A guild;

and so on.. mixing both GS1 and GS2 is a bad habit and is frowned upon, don't do it.

I know, put sometimes setcharprop doesn't work for player, usually npc idk y, I tried  

How do I make the player say something? I did

PHP Code:

if (playertouchsme) {
setcharprop #c, I win!;
} 


But that made the npc say I win and not the player.  

player.chat = "I win!";

player.chat = "I win!";

No, thats GS2 and incorrect for this situation.

char in this context refers to the NPC. You may often find NPCs refered to as characters (e.g. showcharacter;)

To set the player prop, you do this

PHP Code:

setplayerprop #c, I WIN!; 


 

I'm starting also

Told ya, charprop doesn't work only for the npc, it's playerprop...
But I did try player.#g xD it's fun making stuff up
