NPC Help

I know this is a horrible question for me, since I have been scripting for a little while now, but I just noticed I've never noticed how to transfer data from serverside to clientside in level npcs.

What/How kind/much data are you trying to send the client-side?

You can easily use attributes to make strings of data available on the client-side. I.e:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.attr[2] = "Hello world!";
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerEnters() {
  this.chat = this.attr[2]; // NPC will chat "Hello World!"
} 


You may encounter issues if your setting data that is longer than 200 characters, but that's still a fair chunk available and there's still 30 (or 31?) attributes available.

If you need something more complicated you'll need to triggerclient to a weapon, and set it in the NPC.
