Not sending the full array

[Tricxta]

I have this code

PHP Code:

function onPlayertouchsme(){
  temp.heads = 0;
  for (temp.i:level.(player.BowlingGroup @ "_BowlingGroup")){
    temp.head = findplayer(temp.i).head;
    temp.heads.add(temp.head);
  }
  triggeraction(this.x+1,this.y+1,"Show",(temp.heads));
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
funciton onCreated(){
  setshape(1,32,32);
}

function onActionShow(){
  temp.heads = params[0];
  this.chat = this.attr[1];
  //this.chat = temp.heads;
  with(findimg(300)){
    image = "tricxta_group-bowling-gui.png";
    x = 100;
    y = 100;
    layer = 4;
  }
  for (temp.i=0;temp.i<4;temp.i++){
    with(findimg(301+temp.i)){
      image = temp.heads[temp.i];
      partX = 0;
      partY = 64;
      partW = 32;
      partH = 32;
      x = 100;
      y = 132 + temp.i*32;
      layer = 5;
    }
  }
} 


The problem is it constructs the head array fine but once sent by the triggeraction to the client, it only receives the first element. Does anyone know a way around this or how to send the whole array?

Is this in a class or level npc?

Why the extra parentheses around temp.heads here?

PHP Code:

triggeraction(this.x+1,this.y+1,"Show",(temp.heads));

Yeah, wouldn't this be coercing the array into a string?

Also:

PHP Code:

//typo
funciton onCreated(){
  setshape(1,32,32);
}

No, I've tried it without parenthesis, same result. I've tried a heap of stuff. I talked to eye and he said it might be that you have to convert it into a string before sending. I've tried this, although I've had no luck but I didn't spend too long on it as well.

Have you tested to make sure the entire array is being sent from the server?

Also this could well be a limitation with triggeraction, triggerclient would be more conventional and definitely achieves this, it would require moving the code into a weapon however.
If you absolutely had to keep it as triggeraction, you could try coercing it into a string, and then using tokenize() clientside.

Use a weapon script instead of a level script. Then you can use triggerserver and triggerclient directly to the server and player.

triggeraction does not support sending arrays or the use of commas as a separator for data in one variable.

Thanks for the info guys. It really helped
