keeping a var forever?

well i tried something and im new to this scripting stuff :p
but i kinda suck at this.. anyway i really need help on this:
(deleted the doing stuff xD)

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

  {

  ShowStart();

  ap = 100;

  dir = 2;

  setTimer(0.05);

}

function onPlayerchats()

  {

  function onActionLeftMouse()

    {

    if (player.account == "Shakaraja" || player.account == "Graal685799" || player.account == "DarknessShadow" && player.chat.starts("/statue"))

      {

do stuff;

    }

  }

  elseif (player.chat == "/clear")

    {

    function onActionLeftMouse() {

      if (player.account == "Shakaraja" || player.account == "Graal685799" || player.account == "DarknessShadow" && player.chat == "/clear")

        {

        ShowStart();

        setTimer(0.05);

      }

    }

  }

}

function onTimeout()

  {

  if (this.bla != "")

    {

    with(findplayer(this.bla))

      {

setstring stuff;

addstring stuff (as this.bla)

    }

show stuff;

  }

  else

    {

    ShowStart();

  }

  setTimer(0.05);

}

function ShowStart(){

some more stuff xD;

}

i want it to keep the var forever. that it keeps showing.
because when i say update level or the NPC server restarts/resets
the var will be gone and everything will back to normal
this is in a statue case.

I highly suggest you visit the GScript wiki.

You didn't even separate client side from server side.
And you're using some GS1 commands (addstring)...

:cry::cry:yes but, i cant find it there :cry::cry:

How do i use Addstring as GS2?
its long b4 i scripted about 3 years ago x.X

You might want to just re-set the var in the onCreated event if possible. I'm not sure what types of vars survive NPCServer resets. I suspect server/serverr vars would but you don't want to use those unless you have to. You might want to have a dbnpc (do dbnpc vars survive NPCServer restarts?) that stores vars like this or use a text file.

Store the variable in a DB NPC or a text file.

You do not define functions inside other functions -.-

You don't use setstring or addstring in GS2.

PHP Code:


		
			
//GS1
setstring this.string,This is a String;
setstring this.array,This,is,a,String,Array;
addstring this.array,I am adding this;
//GS2
this.string = "This is a String";
this.array = {"This", "is", "a", "String", "Array"};
this.array.add("I'm adding this");

Also, functions cannot be inside other functions.

You should try to learn the basics about how Functions, Variables, and Objects work in relation to each-other, such concepts apply to many other languages besides GScript.

You should use an event inside of the function to replicate what you're trying to do.

oh i get it thanks guys
