player.rupees issue
 

I am having a problem with the variable "player.rupees".

When I use the following:

The gralat amount goes down to what it should be (as instructed by above), but then it goes back to what it was before about 0.5 seconds later.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

You can't permanently modify it on the client-side, you have to do it on the server-side.

Also don't use "var" since it's a keyword that likes to mess with scripts.

Ok, is it possible to use onPlayerChats serverside?

And "var" was just an example. I used a different variable name in the actual script.

Never mind, I have figured it out. (Should have tested before I posted >_<)

Thanks

triggerserver sould be used instead of onPlayerChats() serverside

For clarification, if onPlayerChats is used serverside in something like a weapon, it could have adverse affects along with inherent security risks. Best to do the initial checking clientside as a first step authentication to weed out any unauthorised use (saves a trigger) then trigger the server with the data. Serverside can authenticate and perform the action.

....what?

You had a problem following that?

Security risks like what? Would that even work in a weapon script?

My understanding is that weapon scripts act like Control type NPCs on the server-side. So I doubt it would.

Anything can end up being a security risk in the hands of uneducated scripter.

last I checked, onPlayerChats doesn't work in weapons.

:oo: what?

that's what I was thinking.

He's probably talking about the serverside.

Even I know that it does :O

Why would you use onPlayerChats on serverside anyways..? It's a clientside only function

No, it is not. It's quite useful on the serverside when used in NPCs.

onPlayerChats is called clientside-only in weapons. If it was called serverside in weapons, that would usually be the preferred way to use it for most things. It certainly wouldn't be less secure.

This is why Twinny's post made no sense to me, and still does.

No it's not?
