Player Classes and Variables

[devilsknite1]

I am attempting to create player. variables through a player-joined class. If this is not possible, then I suppose that is valuable information, and I will resort to something like clientr. variables, but nonetheless, I thought logically I would be able to create player. variables within a class when it's joined by using this. variables in the class.

I am attaching a class to a player upon log-in in the Control-NPC, as such:

PHP Code:

function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  player.join( "foobar" );
} 


Afterwards, in the class itself, I am attempting to set the player variables:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.foo = 1;
  this.bar = 2;
} 


I have also attempted the following within the class:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  if ( this.foo == NULL && this.bar == NULL ) {
    createVariables();
  }
}

function createVariables() {
  this.foo = 1;
  this.bar = 2;
} 


I have also attempted using a weapon NPC to check the player variables and then consequently call upon a public function within the class to set said player variables:

Weapon NPC:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  if ( player.foo == NULL && player.bar == NULL ) {
    player.createVariables();
  }
} 


Class NPC:

PHP Code:

public function createVariables() {
  this.foo = 1;
  this.bar = 2;
} 


I thought this was a simple matter, but I'm not getting any return from what I can tell. Any ideas?

EDIT: Solved. For future reference for all of those rusty folk like myself out there, here is what worked for me:

Control-NPC:

PHP Code:

function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  player.join( "foobar" );
  if ( player.foo == NULL && player.bar == NULL ) {
    player.createVariables();
  }
} 


Class NPC:

PHP Code:

public function createVariables() {
  this.foo = 1;
  this.bar = 2;
}

Because you're referring directly to the player, I'd put the check INSIDE the class. Otherwise you're defying the point of player classes.

Inside the 'foobar' class I'd do the following

  //Call the check on login
function onCreated() {
  this.createVariables();
}

  //Do the check here
public function createVariables() {
  if (this.foo != null && this.bar != null) return;

  this.foo = 1;
  this.bar = 2;
}
