Weapon Attr's Serverside to Clientside

[ZeroTrack]

Umm shouldn't this work???

PHP Code:

function onActionserverside(){
  returnval = findnpc("temp1").test;
  this.attr[1] = returnval;
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() { 
  triggeraction(0,0,"serverside","Temp","");
  checkReturn();
}

function checkReturn() player.chat = findweapon("Temp").attr[1]; 


Even tried first to do this.attr[1] but it didn't read thats when i used findweapon... but i can read the attr serverside... This is supposed to work does it not?

I have never heard of weapons having attr's, but I am sure players do =o

would be so much nicer if i could return values from triggers, cause i reallyyyy realllyyy dont want to have the sloppiness of client to server to client triggers for 1 string....

for now i suppose i'll use a player.attr unless anyone has a better CLEANER way of doing this

(For future improvements then...)
Err yeah come to think of it ... if they weapons have images and x,y positions, even though they are 0, they should have attributes

would be nice if you could add attr's and strings to an weapon like you can with a dbnpc, like making a sword named "Swords/Test" in the weapon list
and in weapons list you could right click and it pops up a menu with like
"Edit Weapon/Gui Flags" and "Edit Weapon/Gui Script"
and double left click would default open the script

and a new button could appear like server flags but,
like an guitreeviewctrl like:

-Weapons
-Swords/Test
-weapon.name=Test Sword
-weapon.description=A mighty test sword.
-more weapons etc...

and you could like load the current weapon. strings in the current weapon/gui script, like in Swords/Test you could do like

temp.info = {weapon.name, weapon.description}; and it returned
temp.info = {"Test Sword", "A mighty test sword."};

^-- clientside, if the weapon. string doesn't exist,
it gives a error message in the rc window

Serverside you can do like
temp.stuff = findweapon("Swords/Test").loadVar(description); would return:
temp.stuff = "A mighty test sword." because it would look for weapon.description, and you can load the current weapon. strings of the current weapon serverside to, etc..

I just wrote this, I thought this would be a good idea or something,
I am thinking that I am writing this in the wrong thread/forum part
but I don't know if this is a good idea or not..

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionServerSide(action)
{
  switch (action)
  {
    case "send":
    {
       triggerclient("gui", this.name, "return", 150);
       break;
    }
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired()
{
  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "send");
  player.chat = "SENT";
}

function onActionClientSide(action)
{
  switch (action)
  {
    case "return":
    {
       player.chat = format("Recieved: %s", params[1]);
       break;
    }
  }
} 


Like that?

Then reserve a player attr or a clientr. string for such =o?

[Chompy]

would be funny to do like:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside()
  return params[0];
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  temp.info = triggerserver("gui", name, "blahblah");
  player.chat = temp.info;
} 


or anything, I did try it before, my client crashed xd

[ZeroTrack]

LoL thats what i said =p i tried that first just to check lol my client didnt come close to crashing though lol

I just saved it to like the last player attr.... 29... but i would really like a better way to handle this and maybe , like cheetos brought up a good point, stefan should add lower level access like better socket support... would help A LOT

[xAndrewx]

function onActionServerside()
{

}
//#CLIENTSIDE
triggerserver("weapon", this.name);

[Chompy]

I gotta try that
so my client don't get funny
or weird, lol

Again not gonna do that ... lol don't want to have to client - server - client .... ew and i refuse

[Chompy]

hmm, would be cool too break through serverside from clientside and vice versa

liek:

PHP Code:

function bahOnServerside(text, more, stuff)
  return (text SPC more SPC stuff);
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  if (player.chat == "ommg")
  {
    // text = 0  more = 1  stuff = 2              {     1    }  { 2 }  {  3  }
    info = getServersideFunction(bahOnServerside, "parametres", "lol", "etc..");
    player.chat = info; // would return "parametres lol etc..."
  }
} 


or something liek that

    player.chat = info; // would return "parametres lol etc..."
  }
} 


or something liek that

Seems pointless when you can just organise your script so that it is not as badly affected by the serverside-clientside barrier.
