Triggering serverside, then clientside

[pig132]

So, I have been trying to learn how to trigger to clientside from the serverside and I read cbk's post on it. Ive been messing with this script for a little while and I have no idea why this is not triggering on the clientside. I have put checks in on the serverside and clientside and both check out fine except for other players (besides me) on the clientside:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  if (params[0] == "show") {
    for (temp.pl: allplayers) {
      if (pl.level.name == nil)
        continue;
      pl.triggerclient("gui", this.name, "disp");
    }
  }
  if (params[0] == "sendpm") {
    findplayer("pig132").sendPM(player.account @ " clicked!");
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat = "/test") {
    triggerserver("gui", this.name, "show");
  }
}

function onActionClientSide() {
  if (params[0] == "disp") {
    CreateMenu();
  }
}

Try debugging it with echo's I.e:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  echo("trigger received from " SPC player.account);
  echo("trigger params: " @ params);
  if (params[0] == "show") { 
    for (temp.pl: allplayers) { 
      if (pl.level.name == nil) 
        continue;
      echo("triggering client " @ pl.account);
      pl.triggerclient("gui", this.name, "disp"); 
    } 
  } 
  if (params[0] == "sendpm") { 
    findplayer("pig132").sendPM(player.account @ " clicked!"); 
  } 
} 
//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onPlayerChats() {
  echo("player chatted " @ player.chat
  if (player.chat == "/test") { // You only had one = in your script before, should be double.
    echo("triggering server");
    triggerserver("gui", this.name, "show"); 
  } 
} 

function onActionClientSide() {
  echo("Trigger received: " @ params);
  if (params[0] == "disp") {
    echo("Displaying menu!");
    CreateMenu(); 
  } 
} 


echo's on the client-side will appear in your console (F2).
echo's on the server-side will appear on RC.

You'll be able to pinpoint exactly your script stops flowing this way.

Yeah I tried that before I posted. It triggered everywhere but when it came to triggering other players (besides mine) clients, it failed, but I don't understand because everything was being triggered. Maybe something to do with allplayers? I've messed around with it for a while now and I can't seem to understand it

Do the other players have the weapon?

I wasn't aware they needed it if I was using a allplayers check...hmm I must be mistaken then.

So if i am using an allplayers check, I can't do anything with it when triggering clientside unless they have the weapon too?

If you're triggering a weapon clientside, then yes, the player must have that weapon.
