Adding Server Flags
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello. I am currently working on a way to add, edit and view server flags via a GUI control and again, I have hit a wall. It is quite hard to explain. I want to add flags by making the GUI read from certain text boxes. This is what I have. I am fairly new to scripting so if you want to help simplify or improve my script, please do help!
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  creategui();
  getflags();
  }
function addrowsys_Button1.onAction() {
  new GuiWindowCtrl("addrowsys2_Window1") {
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;
    clientrelative = true;
    clientextent = "260,60";
    isexternal = true;
    canmaximize = false;
    canminimize = false;
    canmove = true;
    canresize = true;
    closequery = false;

    new GuiTextCtrl("addrowsys2_Text1") {
      profile = GuiBlueTextProfile;

      text = "ID";
      width = 12;
      x = 14;
      y = 15;
    }
    new GuiTextEditCtrl("addrowsys2_TextEdit1") {
      profile = GuiBlueTextEditProfile;
      height = 20;
      width = 24;

    new GuiTextCtrl("addrowsys2_Text2") {

      text = "Name";
      width = 34;

  function CreateGui() {
    new GuiWindowCtrl("addrowsys_Window1") {

      }
    }
    new GuiTextCtrl("addrowsys_Text1") {
      profile = GuiBlueTextProfile;
      height = 20;
      text = "A GUI for addding server flags.";
      width = 305;
      x = 9;
      y = 6;
    }
  }
}

function addrowsys_Button2.onAction() {
  if (addrowsys_Window1.isexternal == true) {
    addrowsys_Window1.isexternal = false;
      addrowsys2_Window1.isexternal = false;
   }
   else {
   addrowsys_Window1.isexternal = true;
     addrowsys2_Window1.isexternal = false;
   }
 }

function addrowsys_Button4.onAction() {
  getflags();
}
 function addrowsys_Button3.onAction() {
   say2("You can add rows#bto the GUI by pressing#bthe + button.#bTo switch from external mode,#bpress the = button.");
   }
function onWeaponFired() {
  if (addrowsys_Window1.visible == false) {
    creategui();
 }
 }
 function addrowsys_Button5.onAction() {
   style();
 }
 function GetFlags() {
 addrowsys_TextList1.clearrows();
   for (temp.flag: serverr.getdynamicvarnames()) {
  addrowsys_TextList1.addrow(temp.count, temp.flag, temp.value = serverr.(@temp.flag));
  temp.count++;
}
}
function Style() {
  say2("This feature is still being worked on."); //Working on it.
}

function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat == "/flageditor") {
    creategui(); //Creates the GUI.
    getflags();
  }
} 
I first tried to do something like this.
PHP Code:
function onActionServerside() {
  if (params[0] == "createflag") serverr.(params[2]);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  //GUI stuff here.
}

function addrowsys2_Button2.onAction() {
  addrowsys_TextList1.AddRow((addrowsys2_TextEdit1.text), addrowsys2_TextEdit2.text);
  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "createflag", addrowsys2_TextEdit2.text);
} 
I knew I was doing something very wrong and now I know you can't add flags by doing something as stupid as that. I was wondering if there was some kind of function to create a server flag. If anybody knows it, please share it. I have scanned the Graal bible and I can't seem to find anything. I have seen it done before in a GUI simpler than mine on Graal Inspiration. Thank you for your help. Images are attached below.

No need for a function. You can create server flags dynamically like this:
PHP Code:
serverr.(@ a) = b; 
Where a is the name and b is the content (duh). You just didn't assign anything to the flag in your example, which resulted in it not being created at all.

Replace the "," with an "=" it looks better :P (In the flag reader GUI)

There are many "," in my script. Please me specific.

why would you need a server flag editor

Haven't got a clue, but it was damn fun making it.

@Emera; I've always kept dynamic things like date, time, etc in DPNPC's just in case I want to update server flags through RC.

Half the stuff there I didn't create, and has been created through a script. But thanks for the info.

That's kind of silly, server flags are useful because they can be sent to the client automatically, which makes them ideal for dynamic information (for example, radio stations, weather conditions, clientside timevar2, ...)

yes but if you update them doesn't it update all the flags and not just the one you changed?

Yes, which is why it's probably a good idea to avoid updating them via RC altogether if you have flags which change a lot.

Just like if people have a clock/weather system on their server using flags

In regards to serverr flags updating, it would be nice if there was an event on the client-side that we could use rather than using a timeout or similar.

I.e: onServerFlagUpdated(flag, newvalue);
