triggeraction clientside,0,0,name,param;
 

does this work? one of the people on my server said it doesn't, but ive seen references to it before

i need the truth

It ought to. It's a new method.

It works in weapon npc's.

It is triggeraction 0,0,clientside,... though, the action name comes after the coordinates.

In other words, no it wouldn't :). Loriel's version is correct :)
Like:
if(actionserverside){
/*
do stuff
*/
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
if(created){
triggeraction 0,0,serverside,npcname,params;
}
Have fun :)!

The actionclientside action only works for weapon npcs.

NPC Code:

---

Code of weapon: "Bank"

if (actionserverside) {

  if (strequals(#p(0),deposit)) {

    if (strtofloat(#s(clientr.money))>=strtofloat(#p(1)) {

      setstring clientr.money,#v(strtofloat(#s(clientr.money))-strtofloat(#p(1)));

      playerrupees+=strtofloat(#p(1));

      triggeraction 0,0,clientside,Bank,done;

    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  tokenize #c;

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,#t(0),#t(1);

}

if (actionclientside) {

  if (strequals(#p(0),done)) {

    showtext -1,playerx+1.5,playery-.5,,Arial,bc,Done!;

    changeimgzoom -1,0.7;

  }

}

dunno if that works, just did it in the reply box :\

Ah, thanks. I wasn't aware of that :)

I'm not sure i havent used it yet so..
When you call actionclientside from a DB npc, it calls that action in all weapons right? Or can you only do it inside the serverside section of a weapon?

I do believe its weapons only...and it looks like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

  //stuff

  triggeraction 0,0,clientside,WEAPONNAME,params;

  //stuff

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

//stuff

if (actionclientside) {

  //stuff

}

It works basically as serverside triggeractions, but sent to client. So trigger from serverside.
