CLIENTSIDE Question

[cell424]

I was wondering if //#CLIENTSIDE had to be in every NPC you script with the client, or jsut in the NPCs that have NPC Server Functions in it?

[Python523]

Its for every npc that you don't want to NPC Server to control

[happyme]

oh ive been thinking the opposite x.X

toweapons works clientsided, addweapon works serversided, also dont do any serversided scripts inside of weapons since they are clientsided

This is pretty much completely incorrect. toweapons causes the weapon to be added to the weapon database. You can put serverside scripts in weapons, but you have to do it a weird way:

serverside part of the weapon:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

  setlevel2 leveltest.graal,30,30;

}

---

Clientside part of the weapon:

NPC Code:

---

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,God Ring,warpplayer,#v(this.cursor),;

---

k Thanks alot, so if I got this all right I guess when you first put a NPC up you use toweapons, go to the item and touch it so it adds itself to the database, then change it to addweapon for everyone else. k I think I got it. Here is one of my scripts, would this work?

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Trunks (Owner)

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  toweapons *System;

}



if (isweapon) {

  //Map Systems

if (!startswith(sidi_miningcaves,#L)) {

  setmap sidimap.png,sidimap.txt,x,y;

}

}

//Shoe System

if (isweapon) {

  if (!madeshoes && !strequals(#C3,orange)) {

  setplayerprop #C3, orange;

}

else

  timeout=0;

setplayerprop #C3, #C3;



if (!madeshoes && isonmap) {

  timeout=10;

}



if (timeout && isonmap) {

  hurt 1;

  timeout=10;

  say2 You really should make yourself#ba pair of shoes before you really#bhurt yourself..

}

}

---

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  toweapons Bow;

  hide;

}

if (weaponfired && playerdarts>0) {

  freezeplayer 0.3;

  setani shoot,wbow1.gif;

  timeout=0.25;

}



if (timeout && !fireonhorse) {

  shootarrow playerdir;

  playerdarts = playerdarts-1;

}

---

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  toweapons Bomb;

  hide;

}

if (weaponfired && playerbombs>0) {

  if (playerdir=0) {

    putbomb 1,playerx+0.5,playery-1;

  }

  if (playerdir=1) {

    putbomb 1,playerx-1.5,playery+1;

  }

  if (playerdir=2) {

    putbomb 1,playerx+0.5,playery+2.5;

  }

  if (playerdir=3) {

    putbomb 1,playerx+2.5,playery+1;

  }

  playerbombs=playerbombs-1;

}

Would they work online in a P2P Server?

I do believe all of that would've worked with the //#CLIENTSIDE in them.

toweapons/addweapon must be called on the server-side,
otherwise you are disconnected (hacker activity)

:P, cool beans

[Saga2001]

I got cha, thats smart. . Well it makes sence at least.

[cell424]

So then, it doesnt really matter which one I use. Ok thanks alot Stefan for making it clear for me.

[SaijinGohan]

Both should be used server-side as stefan said, toweapons you use when you want the script to come from the NPC itself, addweapon you only use if the weapon in the weapons database already.
