player's string problem

[xXziroXx]

Ok, so, im trying to set another player's string to a value, but it wont work.

PHP Code:

with (findPlayer(this.target[1])) client.tradereq = playero.id; 


this.target[1] equals the targets account name, so theres no problem there. What happens with this is that instead of setting the targets client.tradereq, it sets it on the current player.

PHP Code:

with (findPlayer(this.target[1])) player.chat = "Trying to set your chat!"; 


That works perfectly fine, so theres no problem in accessing the player.. Ive had -alot- of player-to-player communication errors on Mythic, stuff that works on other servers wont work on there..

Any ideas about whats wrong?

findPlayer(this.target[1]).client.tradereq = player.id;

Normally also it is best to specify the object you are working with, i.e.

PHP Code:

with (findPlayer("Skyld"))
{
  player.clientr.foo = "bar";
}

How about using this.?

PHP Code:

with (findPlayer(foo))
{
  this.clientr.bar = baz;
}

I tried setting client flags on players remotely on his server. I've never tried this clientside but apparently it would work.

I did

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  if (player.chat == "test")
  {
    temp.e = findplayer("xXziroXx");
    player.chat = temp.e.client.testflag SPC temp.e.chat;
    sleep(2);
    temp.e.client.testflag = "RawrTest";
    player.chat = temp.e.client.testflag SPC temp.e.chat;
  }
} 


First time round my chat showed his chat then after 2 seconds i saw 'RawrTest' followed by his chat. When repeated, it showed 'RawrTest' in both phases.

Ziro couldn't read this clientflag that was set on him and when he reconnected it was gone. Kinda wierd

When i used serverside to set player.attr[5] though i could not read a client flag that was set through RC on him. I normally do this thing serverside but if it if supposed to work clientside that would be cool.

What? You're supposed to be able to work with client flags clientside.

You can't edit other players clientside, no matter if it are "client." flags.

I was talking about working with your own clientside. I would think it would be obvious that you can't edit other players clientside.

You can try it and it wont work. Something like:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
 if (player.chat.starts("/test")) {
  tokens = player.chat.tokenize();
  findplayer(tokens[1]).client.testvar = tokens[2];
 }
} 


It will only work if you set it to yourself, not anyone else.

This was the odd part Gambet. It saved my client string to the players object. I verified it was the same object as It showed the players chat as well. It may not have been stored as a client in the end but it was still there.

Most likely just temporarily storing information for you to handle. None of it would be saved unless you sent the temporary information in a trigger over to the serverside to be set.

Come to think about it, I never have been able to SET data for other clients clientsided, only ACCESS player attributes. Those temporary stored information strings blah blah must have confused me.

Bah. Just run it serverside.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(cmd)
{

  switch(cmd)
  {

    case "setchat":
    {
      
      with(getplayer(params[1])) player.chat = "Trying to set your chat!";

    break;
    
    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{

  if (player.chat.starts("/find"))
  {

    triggeraction(0, 0, "serverside", name, setchat, player.chat.substring(6,-1));

  }

} 


That should work
