Most "comments" are marked with "//".

//#CLIENTSIDE actually reads every line of script below it in a clientsided manner, so you have to put the serverside stuff above it and trigger it.

someone should make a guide to scripting with explains instead of good old commands.rtf

Contrary to the newbie rumors. //#SERVERSIDE doesn't exsists. Just telling you now incase you are wondering. //#CLIENTSIDE is just a divider line, nothing more.

what ive been wondering is why //#CLEINTSIDE is necessary, why not just make the npc controller be able to automatically recognize what is clientside-only and serverside-only and make adjustments to its actions accordingly?

because some things can be done differently clientsided...

For instance, the timeout minimum for serverside is 0.1, while clientside, you can use 0.05

Also, Clientsiding things means: it only happens to the client (player triggering the script)..
You can use Clientsiding to:
Show messages only to that player
Set a client.string
Make that player the only one who can see or be hit by a projectile (for some odd reason)
etc etc..
