I've explained 3 different possible methods you could use several posts previous, and I've explained the advantages/disadvantages of them where different scripters will have different ideals as to how to do it.

Neither of those 3 functions are intended from communicating between Clientside and Serverside.

To elaborate on my previous post, a triggeraction would work like this:

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){
  this.setshape(1, 32, 32);
}

function onActionDamage(temp.power){
  this.hp = max(0, this.hp - temp.power);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWasDmg(temp.power) { 
  triggeraction(this.x + 1, this.y + 1, "Damage", temp.power);
} 


Whereas a basic serverside area trigger could be accomplished like this within a weapon script:

PHP Code:


function onActionServerside(temp.command, temp.x, temp.y){
  switch(temp.command){
    case "attack":
      temp.tnpcs = findareanpcs(temp.x, temp.y, 2, 2);  
      for(temp.n : temp.tnpcs){  
        temp.n.trigger("WasDmg", player.clientr.power);  
      }
    break;
  }
}


//#CLIENTSIDE
function onAttack() { 
  temp.x = player.x + 0.5 + (vecx(player.dir) * 2);  
  temp.y = player.y + 1 + (vecy(player.dir) * 2);
  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "attack", temp.x, temp.y);
}

You should handle damage entirely on serverside without triggers like that anyway.
