I've noticed on the clientside if you join a class clientside you can't use the functions from the class right away.

ex:

PHP Code:

//class: whatever
//#CLIENTSIDE
function somefunc() {
  echo("!");
} 


Then doing following..

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  join("whatever");
  somefunc(); // the somefunc in the class would not actually be called..
  this.trigger("WildEvent", ""); // so I would use a trigger..
}

function onWildEvent() {
  somefunc(); // and ! would be displayed in F2
}

That's weird. Have you tried:

PHP Code:

whatever::somefunc(); 


??

Just tried it, it only happens when you login/connect though, not when you update the script.

My above script didn't work with the trigger, however this worked fine and isn't noticable.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  join("whatever");
  whatever::somefunc(); // the somefunc in the class would not actually be called..
  this.scheduleevent(0.1, "WildEvent", ""); // so I would use a trigger..
}

function onWildEvent() {
  somefunc(); // and ! would be displayed in F2
} 


So I'd recommend joining serverside if you don't want to deal with the workaround above..

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  join("whatever");
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() { 
  somefunc(); // the somefunc in the class is called.
}
