A small question about strings and clients

Gohan43331 · #1 03-08-2002, 10:11 AM

I've been noodling this at school for over a week now...

if you have a client.-string (or a client.-var) and you want another client to edit it (ex: bank script and hp script) can you do (if they are in level & have client.blah set to 10):

NPC Code:



message #s(strtofloat(players[2].blah));

and actually have it message player index 2 string client.blah?

I'm trying to think of workarounds to p2p commands.

Is there a way to technically get around the with(getplayer()) for p2p using non-p2p commands?

Perhaps if a certain event happens (gani == certain gani) they would post their hp to the level, and the other client would deduct their sword power from that and then the client would re-instate the new variable for the old... Would that work?

u could use the gani thing, then post it to a string, like server.levelname.account.hp=whatever

:P

A server var? the players are in the same level, so why not save a server var and use level.hp1 or something...?

its really sh***y if you are making non-p2p caus ya cant fake the efficiency of the npc server

i am making a control system for free servers using server.strings and client.strings but i advise if you use the method for a free server you make sure you utilize any strings you use ...
