this.attr[#] not carrying across, triggerclient not working either
 

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated()

{

  showcharacter();

  this.target = findplayer(this.owner);

  this.attr[2] = new[5][2];

  setTimer(.3);

}

function onPlayerChats()

{

  if (player.account == "raeiphon" && player.chat.starts("/destroy")) { this.destroy(); }

  if (player.account == "raeiphon" && player.chat.starts("/show")) { this.chat = this.attr[2][0]; }

  if (player.account == "raeiphon" && player.chat.starts("/halt")) { triggerclient(); }

}

function onTimeout()

{

  if (this.attr[2].size() > 5) { this.attr[2] = this.attr[2].subarray(0,5); }

  this.attr[2].insert(0, {this.target.x,this.target.y});

  triggerclient(this.attr[2]);

  setTimer(.05);

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

 //setTimer(.3);

}

function onTimeout()

{

  this.x = this.attr[3][4][0];

  this.y = this.attr[3][4][1];

  setTimer(.3);

}

function onActionClientside(var)

{

this.attr[3] = var;

}

Originally this started out just setting this.attr[3] on the serverside, since I was told by Tig that it apparently carries across through clientside/serverside barriers and whatnot. That quickly turned out to be false, so I stuck a triggerclient in the timeout to simulate this being the case.

However, it doesn't work. Simply does not work. This.attr[3] is 0 always. Don't tell me that attrs can't hold arrays either, because they can - a echo on the variable on the serverside tells us this (see /show).

Any ideas?

The problem here is that you are trying to use the attributes as arrays, which won't work. You can, however, use them as string, seperate each element with a comma, and use tokenize(",") on them when reading them. So they would be a semi-array, or something..
Anyway, when you've done converting your code to do that, it will also reflect itself between server- and clientside.

Try this:
You've proven they attr's can store arrays... I'm just not sure if they can be passed to the clientside.

This is what I've come up with:
Will echo 4.

No need to tokenize or anything, what I posted works fine :)

Mh, I tried several things to get arrays working with attributes on Era, and it didn't work for some reason. Weird.

That's because attributes doesn't support arrays, and you have to convert it into a string and then "pretend" it's an array. The only drawback is that it's impossible to use sub-arrays in it, since it won't be able to tell a difference between it.

I had no problem with the script I posted. It works fine and I even did some pseudo-smooth-moving and such with the baddy. Subarrays worked and everything.
