it makes it able to "react" a function, right? |
The 'cat, tomcat' thing defines the parameters in the serverside function, I will use a different method below to show you how else you can do it.
Triggerserver sends data that you're using on the clientside, over to the serverside.
For example, mousex/mousey are only accessible on the clientside.
PHP Code:
player.chat = mousex;
If you did this serverside it would return '0' where as if you did this clientside, it would return your mouse's position on the level.
Let's say you NEED that data (mousex/ mousey) serverside so you can do certain serverside-only commands.
You can send your mousex/mousey serverside like this.
PHP Code:
// This is serverside.
function onActionserverside() {
switch(params[0]) {
case "positions":
this.mouse_x = params[1];
this.mouse_y = params[2];
break;
}
}
// Clientside, here I come.
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown() {
triggerserver("gui", this.name, "positions", mousex, mousey);
}
You will notice that everything after 'this.name,' gets sent serverside in a list (also known as array, to access this list, use 'params').
So, after doing triggerserver, this is what will be sent serverside:
PHP Code:
"positions", mousex, mousey
This is a great tool for you to know when doing client-to-server scripts.
