Light effects, do you have to use //#CLIENTSIDE for light effects to show up? Someone told me you didn't, I just want to make sure.

That has to be done online. Though offline they work perfectly without the //#CLIENTSIDE

These things are as in NPC_SERVER_DOC.txt graphics manipulation, make it clientside, why would you need it to be server side if you have a npc maybe i could help out some...

Well, I made my dim to bright light, and it goes something like:

NPC Code:



if (created||playerenters){

  setimg light4.png;

  dontblock;

  timeout=.1;

}

if (timeout){

  this.color1=1;

  this.color2=2;

  this.color3=3;

  doDimtoBright();

}

function doDimtoBright(){

  setcoloreffect this.color1,this.color2,this.color3,0.1;

}

Now, would it work if I put the //#CLIENTSIDE before the function, or, will it not call the function right? I'm not sure about it...

Serverside and clientside parts are loose parts of the script, so basically if only the function is clientside, the serverside part of the NPC wouldn't know there is a function to call.
So i this case you'd just have to make the whole script clientside.

I suggest adding //#CLIENTSIDE to everything you do on non-p2p, so atleast SOME OF the scripts will work if you ever get an NPCs Server or something.

Also, in that script you showed, I see nothing that needs to be serverside...and if you have a timeout around it, it will show serverside.

I just want to clear something up. Everything on what used to be free servers is clientside?
