say(int) not working?

I have an npc with the following code in it:

PHP Code:


		
			
  //#CLIENTSIDE
  function onPlayertouchsme(){
  dir = 3;
  say(1);
  sleep 3;
  dir = 2;
}

But everything except the actual sign text works when i touch it.

I have also tried:

PHP Code:


		
			
  function onPlayertouchsme(){
  dir = 3;
  say(1);
  sleep 3;
  dir = 2;
}

PHP Code:


		
			
  //#CLIENTSIDE
  function onPlayertouchsme(){
  dir = 3;
  say 1;
  sleep 3;
  dir = 2;
}

and

PHP Code:


		
			
  function onPlayertouchsme(){
  dir = 3;
  say 1;
  sleep 3;
  dir = 2;
}

but with no luck. say2 seemed to break when I tried using the image codes (or perhaps it was the line breaks). Otherwise it works when I put in something like say2("!");

Any ideas why my say(int) isn't working though?

The default sign messages are serverside only for using with say();.

I've tried that but it doesn't work.

Last time I actually used this was 2007, not sure if it's still supposed to work, don't suppose you're doing this on a gmap?

I am, actually. Perhaps that's somehow part of the problem? Though the sign is in the same level too..

This is likely to be the problem then, even sign messages positioned in place that don't require say(); are problematic on a gmap.

Just thought I would note that, Jiroxys7's only reason why he wouldn't use say2 was because the message codes weren't working properly for him.

Message codes still work, you just have to use them in the string like so:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerEnters() {

  player.say2("WINNING!#b  - Charlie Sheen");

  player.say2(format("Welcome to my level!#b#n #i(%s,0,64,32,32)", player.head));

}

The command is not say(test);. It is say("test");.
You could also use player.chat = "test";.

Wrong. say expects the sign ID as the parameter, and setting the player's chat is something different entirely.

Whoops, I was thinking of a different command. Sorry.
