player.vars can be added serverside or clientside (and changed), but there are some disadvantages (and advantages).

For serverside, you can add a player.var. This is not synchronized with clientside. For example, "player.staffLevel = 4".

On clientside, you can use it for storing objects or something. However, they are cleared when the player logs off. You can do stuff like "player.equippedItem = this" for equipping standard weapons.


Just use it like

PHP Code:

putnpc2(x, y, script);

// You can also do

putnpc2(32, 32, "join block;");

// but that's GS1 and poor scripting
// instead, you can use GS2

putnpc2(32, 32, "join(\"block\");");

// but that's a mess and hard to read
// which is why I prefer to do

temp.npc = putnpc2(32, 32, "");
npc.join("block");

// and it's also easier to set attributes this way, such as

npc.spawned = true; 


Try this:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code, key, char) {
  if (key == "p") {
    temp.img = findImg(200);
    img.visible = ! img.visible;
  }
} 


Awesome.

Another thing, I was under the impression that variable type is automatically detected, but it seems like setting a variable to a string of text doesn't work?

Trying to do something like this:

PHP Code:

clientr.weapon_img = weaponname.png;

if (trigger){
   showimg index,clientr.weapon_img,,,;
} 


Also, I tried using:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code, key, char) {
  if (key == "p") {
    temp.img = findImg(200);
    img.visible = ! img.visible;
  }
} 


Not sure how to implement this, as a function, isn't it redundant to do this?:

PHP Code:

if (keypressed){
  onKeyPressed(,p,);
} 


Hrrm, am I doing this properly?


Doesn't this work?

PHP Code:

showimg 200,imagename.png,,,;
hideimg 200;

if (keypressed) {
  if (strequals(#p(1),p)) {
    temp.img = findImg(200);
    img.visible = ! img.visible;
  }
}
