Player's account in showani?

[12171217]

I'm using a scripted showani and I need to know what the client's account is.

Let's say I simply wanted to showtext the player's account where the gani is. I want the account of whomever is VIEWING it, not the client SHOWING it.

Gani scripts will show the viewer's "values" when using client. or clientr.vars, so you'll have to store the account in one.

Just use a global variable, in some system script:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  localPlayer = player;
} 


then access like

PHP Code:

localPlayer.account

I would've preferred to do it without hackery, but I guess it's the only way.

Sure that works?

I can't see any reason it wouldn't, but I haven't tested it.
