Faster way of serverside...
 

Could a way be added to make it less laggy to use serverside commands constantly? For something I am making, I will be needing to access all players/npcs attributes constantly and I already know that will generate a ton of lag, or how about this idea (which I would prefer more), maybe make a way to use
with(npcs[index]) and with(players[index]) to fetch attributes as long as you do not edit them?

like clientcsr.vars?

(clientside read only)

kindof, I was asking more of a way to use with(players[index]) clientsided as long as you don't edit anything, but stefan said that it cant be done currently since other attributes aren't sent to the client :(

bah :(

You mean instead of something like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside)

{ for (i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++)

  { if (strequals(#a,#p(0)))

    { id = playerid;

       this.bombs = players[id].bombs;

       readbombs();

     }

   }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired)

{ triggeraction 0,0,serverside,NPC,#c or what not;}



function readbombs()

{ what you want to do with it;}

---

That DOES seem like an awful lot of work... perhaps make a simple trigger like that built into an NPC, like triggeraction 0,0,serverside,-triggers,bombs,#c; or something. I was considering making a hidden NPC named -triggers so that I could use common triggers whenever.

There's already "local." for that. Flags starting with local. won't be sent to the server.

did you even read jagens post?

I am trying to NOT have to do that since there is some lag time in that, I am asking for a way to get other attributes without going serversided

another suggestion:
maybe make a serveroption
sentflags =
and any string in there would get sent to the client, like if i had
sentflags = clientr.hp
and if you are in the level with someone, you could access this string by doing
#I(sent.clientr.hp,id) or maybe something similar? (this is kindof like players[id].x vars but would be a string and you get to choose what strings get sent via serveroptions)

Stefan said he'd do something similar, wether it will be in the next version is arguable, but I wouldn't count on it.

or or or!!!!!

//#SERVERSIDE

Uhm, no.

doesnt exist

No **** ¬_¬
