alright how does it work

[_Z3phyr_]

I see people say prefix.("varname" @ temp.towahth @ "wejthakwlh") = 1;

If this doesn't have anything to do with what I'm about to ask then just pretend I didn't metion it and answer the question anyway:


When you want to declare a value/assign/whatever... nevermind how do I do this:

this.thisismyvarONE = the variable I that I want to edit.

this.varname = "ONE";
this.("thisismyvar" @ this.varname) = 1;


^ please explain how to do because I'm doing it wrong apparently.

What you're doing should work.

You could also do this..

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
 this.varname = "ONE";
 makevar("this." @ this.varname) = 1;
 chat = "this.ONE =" SPC this.ONE;
} 


Its just a matter of personal preference I guess..

Indeed it is, I'm starting to use makevar, however I prefer to use this.("blah" @ LOLDIE); =(

makevar() is untidy and I strongly dislike it when people use it. this.(@ foo) = bar; is the best way in my opinion.

So if I'm going to start the variable's name with the value of another variable, I need to use the @ sign to start it off?

this.(@ varname) = value;

I think you only need it for a variable name only or if a variable name is first.

PHP Code:

this.(@ foo @ "bar") = baz; 


However, I do it out of habit even when a string is first. It is probably good practice for consistency and legibility.

I was on RC when you posted this...why didn't you just ask me? Loser.

Although you wouldn't have gotten as good help, I actually like the way Skyld has it formatted better.

I dunno why people are using makevar
-longer too write
-looks more complicated if you ask me, but isn't

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.a = "lol";
  temp.(@ temp.a @ "lipop") = "hmm?";
  player.chat = temp.lollipop;
} 


is lesser to write then:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.a = "lol";
  makevar("temp." @ temp.a @ "lipop") = "hmm?";
  player.chat = temp.lollipop;
}

Ive actually started to use makevar() instead of var.(more stuff) lately. I like it more now, and it feels more.. organized?

I always did var.(@ some @ "thing") but when i saw makevar() I thought i was doing it the wrong way

*shrug* anyway instead of making a new thread how about I pose another question?

How does...

PHP Code:

if (playerleaves) { 


... translate into GS2?

I know it ain't

PHP Code:

function onPlayerleaves() { 


so what is it?!

Since GS2 is function onEVENTNAME(params) {

It would be

PHP Code:

function onPlayerLeaves() {
// ...
}

It has to be :P
Playerleaves is an event, and read above :P
