Problem displaying multiple arrays

[sssssssssss]

the array is set up like this:

PHP Code:

client.system.messages="""[System Message]: Welcome To Armageddon."",1,1,1,pmbubble_admin.png","""[System Message]: Say /help for some commands!"",1,1,1,pmbubble_admin.png","""[System Message]: Say /news for the Main Info H 


Im trying to simply show any arrays that are already set up on onCreated and so forth, then simple add new ones in as they come. New ones do get added in, but ALL values are duplicated every time a new one is added.

PHP Code:

// set total size of all except system
  temp.totalSize = client.mass.messages.size() + client.tell.messages.size() + client.guild.messages.size() + client.system.messages.size();

  // add new items to category all after init
  while (this.tempChatSize < temp.totalSize && this.active == "all")
  {
    if (client.mass.messages.size() > 0)
    {
      ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @client.mass.messages[this.tempChatSize][4]@ " id=sendImg" @client.mass.messages[this.tempChatSize]@ "/>" @client.mass.messages[this.tempChatSize][0] @ "<br>", false);
    }
    if (client.tell.messages.size() > 0)
    {
      ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @client.tell.messages[this.tempChatSize][4]@ " id=sendImg" @client.tell.messages[this.tempChatSize]@ "/>" @client.tell.messages[this.tempChatSize][0] @ "<br>", false);
    }
    if (client.guild.messages.size() > 0)
    {
      ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @client.guild.messages[this.tempChatSize][4]@ " id=sendImg" @client.guild.messages[this.tempChatSize]@ "/>" @client.guild.messages[this.tempChatSize][0] @ "<br>", false);
    }
    if (client.system.messages.size() > 0)
    {
      ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @client.system.messages[this.tempChatSize][4]@ " id=sendImg" @client.system.messages[this.tempChatSize]@ "/>" @client.system.messages[this.tempChatSize][0] @ "<br>", false);
    }
    
    // add to total added
    this.tempChatSize++;
    
    // force scroll to bottom
    ChatBox_WindowText.scrolltobottom();
  }

Re-script your system to use triggerclient (preferably via a player public function) and public functions for client-side messages instead of adding messages to client variables and looping on the client-side.

example of triggerclient for a similar system

Thanks guys.

I still did need to use either client vars or a npc db to hold what has been since since the player was on, and to not worry about load I continued to use client vars.

However I completely eliminated any need for a time out for this system to work outside of a count down doing what you guys said along with the client vars so I appreciate it very much!

There should be one central function where all messages go through on the client-side. You can just put script there to remember the last 10 or so messages.

Could always store the chat history in a txt file clientside and load on login and append on receive.
