Passing a list of NPCs from clientside to serverside

Maybe I was being too specific last time;
all I really need is to send a list of NPCs to the server. I got the triggeraction all worked out no problems, but how do I send a list of NPCs that the server can do something with?
I can make a comma-delimited string of npc.ids, but the server can't do anything with just npc.ids apparently.
I can make a comma-delimited string of npc.names, but the client can't get npc.name.
I can make a comma-delimited string of npc objects, but as npcs are not themselves strings they collapse when added to a string list.

Is there a way to concatenate an NPC-object onto a list of NPC-objects, and wind up with the equivalent of the NPC-list you get with findareanpcs? That might work. That or a way to get an npc's name clientside or findnpcbyid serverside.
