Client.strings + GuiTextCtrl

How would I go about displaying a persons client(r) strings in a GUI?

Would it be something like

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionserverside()

  {

  if (params[0] == "findinfo") {

      with (findplayer(params[1])) {

      thiso.stat1 = client.stat1;

      thiso.stat2 = client.stat2;

      thiso.stat3 = clientr.stat3;

      NewGuiWindow();

    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

  {

  NewGuiWindow();

  triggeraction(0,0,"serverside",name,"findinfo",target);

}



function NewGuiWindow()

  {

  new GuiWindowCtrl(Window) {

    awake = true;

    canmaximize = false;

    canresize = false;

    height = 180;

    profile = "GuiRedTransWindowProfile";

    text = "Title";

    visible = true;

    width = 160;

    x = 0;

    y = 120;



    new GuiTextCtrl(Text) {

      x = 10;

      y = 25;

      width = 140;

      height = 20;

      useownprofile = true;

      profile.fontcolor = {1,1,1};

      text = thiso.stat1;

    }

  }

}

If not, how would I be able to do it?

You should just be able to read them normally on the clientside if you're using your own strings at all, but for other peoples, I guess something like what you are doing is needed.

You cannot call clientside functions from the serverside. Try something more along the lines of this:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerside() {

  if(params[0] == "fetchinfo") {

    with(findPlayer(params[1])) {

      temp.statarray = { client.stat1, client.stat2, /* Etc */ };

    }



    player.triggerclient("gui", this.name, "retreiveinfo", temp.statarray);

  }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onActionClientside() {

  if(params[0] == "retreiveinfo") {

    this.stat1 = params[1][0];

    this.stat2 = params[1][1];

    // etc

    NewGuiWindow();

  }

}



function onCreated() {

  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "fetchinfo", "KewlPlayer001");

}

 bla bla a lot of **** here..

From you, I'd expect something 20 times better.. fool.. you are creating lag for him!

What you should do is reserve a few player.attr[ index]'s for stats, so that you can load them clientside.

Example:
--------
Every player has this in a clientside script:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function statUpdate() {

  temp.statarray = { client.stat1, client.stat2};

  for ( i = 0; i < temp.statarray.size(); i ++)

    player.attr[ 10 + i] = temp.statarray[ i];

}

The fact I did player.attr[ 10 + i] is because 1 - 5 could be reserved for custom bodies (in case you'd get those later).

A clientside script for loading:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function loadStats( plr) {

  temp.statarray2 = new[ 2];

  for ( i = 0; i < 2; i ++) 

    temp.statarray2[ i] = findPlayer( plr).attr[ 10 + i];

}

    temp.statarray2[ i] = findPlayer( plr).attr[ 10 + i];

}

It's pointless to waste player.attr[] variables on something like this. There is little to no lag in a simple request for them. I'm pretty sure requesting player.attr[] variables from other players generates the same (if not more) lag, as they are sent to everyone all the time, instead of just being requested.

Also, don't call my script 'a lot of **** here..' until you fix your half-assed lame formatting.

And how are you sure that he will only need 2 or 3 variables? IIRC, there are a lot of different stats that a character can have. player.attr[] variables are meant to be accessed with ganis, not to be used to save arbitrary information like this.

You just lost, nice try though.

If the strings you want to obtain follow a pattern (i.e. clientr.stat_<whatever>), you can use getstringkeys(start).

getstringkeys() returns the suffix of all variables beginning with 'start'.
For example, if I have:
clientr.zomg_hp = 3
clientr.zomg_rawr = lawl
clientr.zomg_pi = 3.14something
temp.keys = getstringkeys("clientr.zomg_");

temp.keys will be an array containing the strings {hp,rawr,pi}

It's really useful. :)

Uh, you do realize what Okie said works fine with little to no lag?...

He's just being an idiot, pay no attention to him. If you're updating player.attr[] flags in a 0.05 timeout that's going to generate a lot more lag than just polling for the values once via triggeraction.

0.1 is minimum on serverside.

I'm not talking about setting the attr's serverside, fool.. I'm talking about clientside..

What contiga said. It would still cause lag because the attr[] flags need to be sent to everyone when they are updated. If you're doing it in a 0.05 timeout, Lookout Jesus.

Didn't I read somewhere that if you didn't know what you were talking about, you were not meant to say anything?
