hasscriptaccess()

[zokemon]

hasscriptaccess(filepath, readonly) - returns true if the file at the given filepath can be accessed with the various load/save functions such as loadlines(). readonly is a bool that is true if you only want to check if the file can be read regardless of if you can write to it.

Example:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  if (hasscriptaccess("Graal.exe", 1))
    echo("I have script access to Graal.exe");
  else
    echo("I do not have script access to Graal.exe");
} 


Would echo "I do not have script access to Graal.exe".

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  if (hasscriptaccess("scriptfiles/" @ servername @ "/newfile.nw", 1))
    echo("I have script access to newfile.nw");
  else
    echo("I do not have script access to newfile.nw");
} 


Would echo "I have script access to newfile.nw".

Of course on the clientside the second parameter would only check if the file was read-only or not.

The function should also be supported serverside which would basically return the (npcserver)'s hasfolderright() to the file with respect to r and rw depending on the second parameter.

What do you think, could you implement this function Stefan? Really would like it for my global client/server file browser I'm making (which is required for my scripted level editor) as well as a few other things.

This would be nice, though I can't think of many uses besides a file browser type thing.

I can't imagine it taking very much time to implement into the new client .

Will this be added?

Ok added something, although it's not exactly identical:
getScriptAccessFile(filename, dowrite) returns the file that will be modified when using the specified filename: when the file extension is not allowed then it will return an empty string, otherwise either the filename (if it was including a path name and it's allowed to access) or a filename starting with scriptfiles or scriptfiles/servername.

This will work with the next update of the npcserver and the next client version.

Perfect, just what I needed! Thank you!

Umm, is the npcserver gonna be updated anywhere? Almost everywhere I've tried the function doesn't exist.
