Scheduleevent/trigger class

[Pelikano]

I've got two small questions:

1) Can I start a scheduleevent Clientside and run it Serverside?
Example:

PHP Code:

function onTest() {
// blabla
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
scheduleevent(5,"Test","");
} 


2) How do I trigger a class?
I know about: "triggerserver("gui",this.name,blabla);
But how do I trigger a class using triggerserver? "class" instead of "gui" doesn't seem to work.

1) No.

2) Errr? I don't think you know how classes work. When a script is joined to a class, that class becomes a part of that script.

1.) This is an impossibility as of yet.

2.) You don't "trigger" a class in the traditional sense, you must first join the class to the script so you can trigger it. This is how classes work, by the way:

PHP Code:

// Class "dothis-test"
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onDoThis()
{
    echo("Doing this...");
}

// Weapon
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
    this.join("dothis-test");
    scheduleEvent(5, "DoThis", null); 
} 


What the join method does is merge the class into the script, so the actual code viewed by the interpreter is this:

PHP Code:

// Weapon
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
    scheduleEvent(5, "DoThis", null); 
}

function onDoThis()
{
    echo("Doing this...");
}

Classes are like code that is copy-pasted into an object when you join the class to it. Though the OnCreated() in a class is run at the time it is joined to an object.

Yeah, as aforementioned, a class doesn't actually exist.

Strictly speaking, a class is just flat text.

Either you join the class to a weapon, or to an npc.

Then, you can either trigger the weapon (with triggerserver) or the npc (with triggeraction and the coordinates of the npc).

For #1, try something like this:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(cmd) {
  if (cmd == "meep") {
    // destroy the planet
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  scheduleevent(5, "Something", "");
}
function onSomething() {
  triggerserver("gui", name, "meep");
}

Thanks

Now I know what classes are.
Well, I was just a little confused because of "putnpc2()", but now I know that putnpc2 creates an empty NPC where you put in a "class".
