server flags... My things never work online...
 

Hrmh how come simple if flag is true script like this doesnt work online?

if (serverr.flaggy) {setimg picture.gif; y=24;}

Simple as that. I need a server flag to change image on an npc.
Client or server side it doesnt work online.
Im not sure if I should use server. or serverr.

Curse the npc server. I never tought it could mess up a script so simple.

I propably need to do some trigger action and function crazyness again but Im not realy sure how...

Please, learn about the NPC Server before trying to code for it.

how are setting the flag, offline if you just did it would set it as a player flag, how ever online it tries to set it as a server flag, but sence it has no value it just deletes the string, however if you set it as and are checking just the name as you are above it will come back false cause the value attached to the flag is 'true'. therefore you'd have to set and check it like so.
although serverr.flags have to be set serverside, you can still check them clientside as well as serverside
the diffrence between server.flags and serverr.flags is that serverr.flags can only be edited serverside.

I gather thats what hes doing here, tring to understand better is what this forum is for.

No one is talking about strings.

im pretty sure server flags HAVE to be strings..... considering thats what hes talking about, or are you just out to try and put me down for some unknown reason?

Man, you ignored the entire latter half of my text.

And that's utterly wrong.

thats the diffrence that only pertained to this matter, are there other diffrences yes , but it is true that r flags if there clientr. flags or serverr. flags they can only be edited in serverside thats why there mostly used now for custom money and hp systems cause the way hackers USED to hack money is by somehow putting one of their weapons in a level (this is also why toweapons is considered a hacking command if you watch RC when you touch a weapon with that in it , it will warn you) and have it drop tons of money, now even if they tried that they can't add weapons, and even if they tried to change the flag if they figured it out, trainers can only work clientside , there is no way to edit those flags unless done serverside.

[DOESNT-KNOW-GSCRIPT-SO-WILD-THOUGHT]
Isnt clientr. only READABLE by the client, preventing writing (e.g: Editing by the client to cheat/abuse)
Cant think of how to apply it to serverr flags, but its the same sort of read protection I think. But without knowledge on how its wrote to, to change it, I can't have a wild thought on it. [/DOESNT-KNOW-GSCRIPT-SO-WILD-THOUGHT]

This is very sad.

No type of server flag can be edited clientside. The only distinction between server and serverr flags is that the latter can be read by the client.

i said that.......i said it can ONLY be edited serverside, please read up more.

Both can only be edited serverside, you buffoon.

sence when , i dont remember them both, and buffoon is heading you back to preschool maturity. besides i really dont use server flags cause they're laggy and useless, as far as the r part i was just using my knowledge from clientr. flags cause they can only be edited serverside. thanks for showing your true immature side, if you can't give any insight without making a lame atempt to insult someone maybe you should'nt comment at all.

That's hardly my fault.

It's easy to say that, but what is so immature about using choice insults? And what excuses you from the rule?

In any case, I would have been more restrained if you had not suggested that I had failed to read your post.

Oh man. You really shouldn't be attempting to advise people in this forum.

ok thats why i've helped more people here, why don't you just insult them cause thats the cool thing to do, and hey if your so great... how come your not gobal? cause i think part of being gst is to help people not insult them, which most of your posts are, hence i dont think you should be tring to give any advice what so ever , as far as i am considered your just a washed up g2k1 scripter

You're starting to annoy me, Sern.

who are you.... and how am i getting annoying when im pointing out facts or does everyone seem to have a personal problem with me

Than me? Not a chance, junior. But I really don't think this should be a competition on how many people we've helped. We should at least include all the ones you've hindered.

Because I voluntarily quit the GST?

It seems that I'm more qualified for it than you. Does bad advice become better than good advice if it's accompanied by a smile?

Haha! As far as I'm concerned, you're just a nobody desperately trying to convince himself that he has some relative worth despite lacking the skill to back it up.

whatever dude , why dont you keep insulting people at least we all know who has the more maturity , if you believe your more qualified than me i'd be happy to prove your not , i've prob been scripting for graal for about prob as long as you, 4 years , im not tring to prove anything little boy i m just tring to help people, and for your information i haven't hindered 1 person on this entire forum.

Yes: The one that isn't pretending to be something he's not. You yap about maturity and whine about insults, but then you show yourself to be a hypocrite by insulting me back. Personally I don't think that willingness to insult should necessarily be a factor in determining maturity, but if it were then you'd be just as guilty as I.

Perhaps so, but you don't seem to have learned much from it.

When I first read this statement I laughed out loud, because I had guessed from your typing and your arguments that you were about fifteen at the most. Then I checked your actual age and laughed even more :)

That kind of claim doesn't usually work when it's made in a thread where you've already given inaccurate advice.

just drop it this is stupid, were all here for the same reason i dont know why people have to argue like this

It's because Kai has no life besides arguing with people :whatever:

Then some honest introspection is required.

Well, my life is certainly very much different to yours, but I don't think that is a negative factor :)

Dear Sern,
please remove the "&& Scripting Judge" from your title. It holds no meaning.
With regards, Chad

I think it was 2 years ago or maybe 3 when I was like woah look it's Sern. Now he's arguing with the forum's most popular/smartest/arguative people and trying to win a losing battle.

whats that have to do with anything i believe its personal choice what goes there , i m really not looking for a "title". With regards, Sern

:frown:

if you guys are going to try and argue against Kai's personal agenda or whatever, take it to pms, it doesn't concern any of us

Yes it does, since Kai argues with pretty much anyone >_<

Salaisuus, if you want to read any sort of server.flag, you have to set said flag serverside. You cannot set server. or serverr. flags clientside. It is this way for security reasons.


Sern, please refer to rule 4 of this forum.

BABABABAABA lost of useless talk in my topic.

Anyhow, the script works now so thanks.

As for the rest... Well Im sure I have said this before but I wish that people would just post scripting related messages in this forum and leave the "ur dumb u stupid smel hed" messages out of it.

im not giving bad advice! the only thing i was "wrong" on was the fact that BOTH have to be changed serverside i believe i was dead right on everything else

He has got it to work, Close this thread.

So this statement:

"the diffrence between server.flags and serverr.flags is that serverr.flags can only be edited serverside"

Was bad advice, no?

Ugh, more backseat moderators.

We can't do much more than backseat moderate, besides it's relatively fun.

That not 100% true =p, all my advice was good except that which i didnt know cause like i said i dont use server flags, anything needing anything like that i use db npc's i havent used server flags sence i scripted on sanstrata about 3 years ago, i just used my knowledge about clientr. flags for that, cause it sounded right in my head =p

"ALL MY ADVICE WAS GOOD EXCEPT IT WAS partially WRONG"

So the remainder was bad advice, yes?

PMing a moderator is an option.

That does not, however, mean that I will close a thread for a silly reason.

Here's a simple idea: if you don't know what you're doing, don't give advice. That's all I ask.
