TStaticVar Output Methods

With a little help from DrakilorP2P I created just a script that I'm actually proud of (NOT A SCRIPTER).

Was curious if there was any other easier methods or ways you could handle it?

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide()

{

  if (params[0] == "printMyVariable") {

    myNewVar.loadvars("levels/users/Imperialistic/other/imptest.txt");

    temp.theVariable = base64decode(myNewVar.variable);

    //echo("Loaded ---> " @ temp.theVariable);

    findplayer("Imperialistic").sendPM(temp.theVariable);     

  }

  

 if (params[0] == "saveMyVariable") {

 myVar = new TStaticVar();

 myVar.variable = params[1];

 //myVar.secondvariable = "World";

 myVar.variable = base64encode(myVar.variable);

 myVar.saveVars("levels/users/Imperialistic/other/imptest.txt", 1);

 } 

}

 

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats(){

 if (player.chat = ":load"){

      triggerServer("gui", this.name, "printMyVariable");

    }

if (player.chat.starts("/save")) {

      temp.argument = player.chat.substring(5).trim();

      temp.arguments = temp.argument.tokenize();

      triggerServer("gui", this.name, "saveMyVariable", temp.argument);

  }

 }

Erm, I know you're excited about your first script but it's just not Code Gallery material.

- It's explicit to your scenario
- Improper Indentation / Random white-spacing
- Only uses events (for this kind of script the purpose is to provide reusable functions)
- There's no comments

Also, player.chat = ":load" should be player.chat == ":load"

TStaticVar + loadvars/savevars Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

  // Define Path to File

  temp.filepath = "levels/path/to/randomfile.txt";

  // Create TStaticVar

  temp.file = new TStaticVar();

  // Assign Value to File StaticVar

  temp.file.testvariable = "Hello World!";

  // Save Values to File

  temp.file.savevars(temp.filepath, 0);

  // Destroy and Re-create File Object (Example Purposes)

  temp.file = "";

  temp.file = new TStaticVar();

  // Load File

  temp.file.loadvars(temp.filepath);

  // Display Variable

  echo(temp.file.testvariable);

}

Last time I checked the Code Gallery was for completed scripts.

But if it's a big deal we can move it (mods hint hint)

Not trying to be a smartass about this...
What's the difference between:
player.chat ==
and
player.chat =

" == " is for comparison
" = " is for assigning

Yeah it is for complete scripts but they should have some value to them.

Edit: Cloven's post for = explanation.

I noticed an error that I didn't want to happen..

When I load all of the variables from the .txt file, it only loads the last var entered, any clue why?

=EDIT= Can a mod please move this thread out of the Code Gallery?

You're only using one name. If you want multiple slots you'd want something like this

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide(cmd, slot, msg) {
  if (cmd == "save") {
    temp.vars.loadVars("data/" @ player.account @ ".txt");
    vars.(@ slot) = msg;
    vars.saveVars("data/" @ player.account @ ".txt", false);
  } else if (cmd == "load") {
    temp.vars.loadVars("data/"@ player.account @ ".txt");
    
    if (vars.(@ slot) != null) {
      player.chat = "You don't have a message with the name '" @ slot @ "'!";
    } else {
      player.chat = slot @ ": " @ vars.(@ slot);
    }
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat.starts("/load ")) {
    temp.load = player.chat.substring(6).trim();
    triggerServer("gui", this.name, "load", load);
  } else if (player.chat.starts("/save ")) {
    temp.tokens = player.chat.tokenize();
    temp.msg = player.chat.substring(tokens[0].length() + tokens[1].length() + 2).trim();
    
    triggerServer("gui", this.name, "save", tokens[1], msg);
  }
}

Notice how it uses a different variable for each slot.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it..

Even though it's a huge step from my other script, still trying to figure out all the stuff you did.
