  triggeraction x,y,Test;

}

Wouldn't the triggeraction be actionserver? (Saw that on another thread. from clientside to serverside) Or is that just a "oganization" tool?

[screen_name]

to trigger something serverside then you would:

triggeraction 0,0,serverTriggerName,params..;

Is there such a veriable as thisr.blah? So that it can only be read by the clientside, and read/written in the server side?

Hiiii, I need help again with a method. Liek, what is the easiest way to transfer mass data in a this. string stored server side, to the client side (the way i want to make it is so that the client side part needs to request it from an event from the player, liek a keypress or chat)?

Liek, this is a way i did it, but its messy, and i don't want to use the client.strings:

if(actionwantstring) {
setstring client.npcpass,this.something1;
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
if(playerenters) {
timeout=0.1;
}
if(playerchats) {
triggeraction x,y,wantstring,;
}
if(timeout) {
message #s(client.npcpass);
timeout=0.1;
}

NPC Code:

---

if(actionwantstring) { 

setstring client.npcpass,this.something1; 

} 

//#CLIENTSIDE 

if(playerenters) { 

timeout=0.1; 

} 

if(playerchats) { 

triggeraction x,y,wantstring,; 

} 

if(timeout) { 

message #s(client.npcpass); 

timeout=0.1; 

}

Hmm... this is Projectshifter again, for some reason my account isn't working on here! x.x But I understand NPc servers now, and I'm a NAT over on Delt...
this.something1 would just display as the text for it, so you would get the message repeatedly that "this.something1" is what you want. If you want to get it from an NPC, say the Control-NPC:

NPC Code:

---

if(actionwantstring) { 

  with (getnpc(Control-NPC))

  { setstring this.npcpass,#s(client.npcpass);

   }

  setstring client.npcpass,#s(this.npcpass);

} 

//#CLIENTSIDE 

if(playerenters) { 

timeout=0.1; 

} 

if(playerchats) { 

triggeraction x,y,wantstring,; 

} 

if(timeout) { 

message #s(client.npcpass); 

timeout=0.1; 

}

But it seems that you have triggeraction going clientside, i don't know if it matters, but i'd go ahead w/ triggeraction 0,0,server,wantstring; and make it hit from the server and change it to if (actionserverwantstring). L8er
