Warped NPC will not show after being hidden

I'm working on warping a car from one point to another after they leave the car, but for some reason, the NPC will successfully warp to the point I'd like it to warp to, but because the NPC is hidden after the player gets in the car, using show() to make it visible again will not work, and the NPC remains invisible.

Here's a condensed version of what I'm doing.

Class Script - Joined to the car

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

  this.setshape(1, 3 * 16, 3 * 16);

}



function onActionGrab() {

  if (player.client.incar != true && player.account == this.owner) {

    player.client.incar = true;

    player.client.carlevel = this.level.name;

    player.client.carid = this.id;

    

    //Hide the car

    this.hide();

  }

}



/*Called when the player leaves the car, and is triggered from a

control weapon. The car is warped to the correct position, but

the car still remains hidden, and using show() will not show it*/



public function outOfCar() {

  //Attempt to show the car

  this.show();

}

Weapon Script - Warping process

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerside() {

  switch(params[0]) {

    case "getoutofcar": {

      temp.car_level = findlevel(client.carlevel);

      

      for (ln : temp.car_level.npcs) {

        if (ln.id == player.client.carid) {

          ln.warpto(player.level.name, player.y, player.y);

          //Trigger the attempt to show the car

          ln.outOfCar();

        }

      }

      break;

    }

  }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



function leaveCar() {

  triggerserver("gui", name, "getoutofcar");

}

Does anybody have any ideas?

This is because of serverside to clientside synchronisation not occurring outside of triggers/events.
Try using a .trigger() on the NPC rather than a public function.

It's also a bad idea to be using client. variables this way.

I'll convert them to clientr. variables when I'm done then. Thanks for pointing that out.

Alternatively you can just do this.trigger("update"); and leave everything else as it is.
