fileexist() question

If you mean specifically download a file into /graal/ I don't think it's possible, otherwise fileupdate("filename"); would download a file to it's relevant folder.

So let's say someone overwrote pics1.png.

Could I make it

PHP Code:


			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerLogin()

{

 fileupdate("pics1.png");

}

To fix the file?

To make it fix the file everyone

Depends on whether the function compares the modification time of the file on your client with the file on the server in order to re-download or if it forces it, but if it does force the download it wouldn't be a good idea to have pics1.png being downloaded every single login.
You'd probably want to be comparing against a pre determined modification time of the original pics1.png beforehand.
