passing objects through triggeractions
 

Hi,

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated(){

  thiso.objtest=NULL;

  thiso.objtest=new TStaticVar();

  echo("before:" SPC thiso.objtest.test1);

  thiso.objtest.test1="blah";

  echo("after:" SPC thiso.objtest.test1);

  findplayer("projectigi").triggerclient("-trgtest",thiso.objtest);

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onActionClientSide(){

  player.chat="s" SPC params[0].test1;

}

don't works, is there any way to correctly pass an object through a triggeraction?

I have noticed this too. The only way I could partially do this was to do something like this:

If this is inside a weapon, it obviously will not work because onCreated() and such events are not called on the serverside in a weapon.

they are called if youu update the script
else it wouldnt say
before:
after: blah

in my rc...right? XP

You can't pass objects through triggeractions. The method I told you works, but is probably not efficient for most cases.

Also, your triggerclient is not using correct syntax. it should be triggerclient("gui", ..)

onCreated and onPlayerEnters events are not called serverside in a weapon. >.>

well you're wrong

Dude, I'm not.

I'm sorry but in this case you are wrong. Stefan has said this many times before, serverside weapons are technically not "created". I cannot verify for sure if onCreated() will work serverside or not, I know at one point it worked but only because it was a catch that I think stefan put in iirc. What you shoudl be doing if you require something to have serverside things activated when the weapon is updated/someone logs on/has the weapon added to them you should have an trigger on the client like: triggeraction(0,0,"serverside","init"); Although I do think there is a triggerserver() and triggerclient() now (I'm just coming back and trying to catch up myself).

It would be nice if you could pass objects through a trigger though. I don't know if this so much qualifies as a bug but moreso as a feature that should be added if possible.

It is called serverside if you UPDATE the SCRIPT
how else my rc would generate the output...

projectgi is right in this case. onCreated() is sent to a WNPC when you update the script in NC.

Then that is related to NC updates only. If there is an onCreated() block in the serverside part of a weapon script, and a player logs on, I highly doubt onCreated() will still be called on the serverside.

I never said it will be called if a player logs in O_o

He didn't, he's been telling you the whole time that it is called when he updates the script from his RC. Ajira needs some glasses :cool:
