with() problem

[Despo1]

also i want to read of a db npc and add the worth of the variable to the lokal script also i saw in some scripts:

NPC Code:

---

with(getnpc(Hat-Shops)){

hatc = strtofloat(#s(this.hatc#v(hatn)));

}

---

or

NPC Code:

---

with(getnpc(Hat-Shops)){

setstring server.temp,#s(this.hatc#v(hatn));

}

hatc = strtofloat(#s(server.temp));

setstring server.temp,;

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  setimg sign.png;

}

  with(getnpc(Control-NPC)){

    setstring server.temp,#s(this.hat);

  }

  setstring this.hat,#s(server.temp);

  The newest Hat is #s(this.hat);

  setstring server.temp,;

}

1) You dont need to set server flag w/ the with() operator.
2) with() MUST be serverside.
3) You can't call weapons w/ with() (not sure if youo were doing this. but I think you were)

Assumming you DO have an NPCs server..

i use at my shophats, they use a control npc which i have controll to restock...

If you would like to store information on a Databased NPC, use THIS. You can set serverstrings in any script that is server-side.

i know but any serverstring will lagg the server

just server strings wont loag, constantly calling them might, classic has over 100 server strings/flags and I don't lag much their

[Despo1]

yeah but a server.string foor each hat >=180 also i used the originally script and now i know that but thanxs anyway

[Falcor]

why store server strings when you can use a Database NPC to make a uhm, well, DUH, a Database.
