Client to Server string

ZeroTrack · #1 08-20-2004, 09:37 PM

see my problem is in clientside the string this.trade shows all the items selected , the thing is when its transfered to serverside the string automaticly trims itself ?

and only the first string in the set is seen.... now there are ways around this which i've already done . but why does this happen??

NPC Code:



if(actionserverside){

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

    tokenize #p(3);



//Start put in for testing

       with(getplayer(#p(2))){

     setplayerprop #c,#p(3);}

//End put in for testing



    for(n = 0; n < tokenscount; n ++){

      if(strtofloat(#s(clientr.amount_#t(n))) > 1){

        this.remove = strtofloat(#s(clientr.amount_#t(n))) - strtofloat(1);

        setstring clientr.amount_#t(n),#v(this.remove);

      }else {

        removeweapon #t(n);

        setstring clientr.amount_#t(n),0;

      }

    }

    with(getplayer(#p(2))){

      for(a = 0; a < tokenscount; a ++){

        if(hasweapon(#t(a))){

          this.add = strtofloat(#s(clientr.amount_#t(a))) + strtofloat(1);

          setstring clientr.amount_#t(a),#v(this.add);

        }else{

          addweapon #t(a);

          setstring clientr.amount_#t(a),1;

        }

      }

      sleep .5;

    }

  }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE   

     triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Items/Weapon Trader,trade,#a,#a(k),#s(this.trade),;

//#SERVERSIDE doesn't exist.

I'm not the best at scriting, but try putting your serverside scripting before the "//#CLIENTSIDE", considering "//#SERVERSIDE" doesn't exsist, as I use it for organization.

Have a little common sence, this is a scripting forum the people that will help you will know which script is where without the "//#SERVERSIDE".

wow your all way too litteral, and stupid for that matter. Is there a problem should i edit my post , is it that big of a deal where your gonna cry about it or explain to me why that happens. i've been scripting on graal for over 5 years im not stupid and im deff no new at this. if your really gonna keep going on about it i'll edit it so you can stop whinning about it.

HAPPY..?? gosh

If this.string uses commas to separate indecies, you probably want to put #s(this.trade) in quotes.

ZeroTrack · #8 08-20-2004, 11:47 PM

every string uses commas to separate indecies, i added setplayerprop #c,#s(this.trade) in the clientside before the triggeraction to see if the full string would show. and it did the problem happens when it sends the string to serverside it seems to automaticly trims it and only use the first string in the list or it can only see the first string in the list for some reason... so for example:
if, this.trade = gun,sword,bombs
in clientside it'll see all 3 but in serverside it only sees gun

Please do not come in this forum calling people stupid for pointing out your error. How long you claim to have scripted for Graal is wholly irrelevant.

To address your original problem: place quotation marks in your triggeraction around the comma-containing string.

It can be used clientside and serverside.

Basicly my original question was.... why does this happen?

XiLe · #13 08-21-2004, 04:41 PM

Serer strings trim themselves for no apparent reason. Probably the fact that the character initiated in the gserver has a limited length, so it truncates anything beyond that. Try using DB-NPCs, their strings seem much longer.

For example, replace this:

NPC Code:

setstring serverr.asdf,1234567890;

with this:

NPC Code:

with (getnpc(moo)) {

  setstring this.asdf,1234567890;

}

Don't forget to read up on this. and thiso. strings/variables, as they play a role in DB-NPC interation.

lOl why thank you very much, i've kinda kept low cause i didnt want people to think i was tring to be something just for power or w.e so i decided not even to try for GST anymore , i dont care if i get it or not i just love helping people and scripting
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm very weird why it does that.... then again tis true that graal script goes against all other scripting languages in the world lol
