Clearing Vars

[[email protected]]

I don't understand why these vars are not storing? They're being deleted once I reconnect

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  echo("Size:" SPC this.getCharacterList());
  
  for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < 5; temp.i++) {
    this.onCharacterCreate();
  }

  echo("Size:" SPC this.getCharacterList());
}

function onCharacterCreate() {
  temp.charsize = this.getCharacterList().size();
  if (temp.charsize >= 15) return false;
  
  temp.char.level = 1;
  temp.char.exp = int(random(20, 99));
  temp.char.gender = randomstring("Male", "Female");
  temp.char.brave = int(random(1, 10));
  temp.char.faith = int(random(1, 10));
  temp.char.move = int(random(5, 10));

  temp.stats = {"str", "dex", "con", "int", "wis", "cha"};
  for (temp.i: temp.stats) {
    temp.char.(@ i) = int(random(5, 16));
  }
  
  temp.char.hpmax = int(random(75, 110));
  temp.char.mpmax = int(random(75, 110));

  temp.list = {"Squire", "Knight", "Chemist"};
  temp.class = randomstring(temp.list);
  temp.char.classes = temp.list;
  temp.char.class = temp.class; 
  temp.char.(@ temp.class).level = 1;
  temp.char.(@ temp.class).exp = temp.char.exp;
  temp.char.(@ temp.class).jp = int(random(5, 25));
  
  temp.buffs = { {"dex", "str", "hpmax"}, //Squire
                 {"str", "con", "hpmax"}, //Knight
                 {"int", "wis", "mpmax"} //Chemist
               };
  for (temp.i: temp.buffs[temp.list.index(temp.class)]) {
    temp.char.(@ i) += int(random(5, 15));
  }
  
  temp.char.hp = temp.char.hpmax;
  temp.char.mp = temp.char.mpmax;
  
  this.clientr.("char_" @ (temp.charsize + 1)).copyfrom(temp.char);
  echo("Created" SPC temp.charsize + 1);
}

function getCharacterList() {
  return getstringkeys("this.clientr.char_");
} 


Any suggestions? thanks

[Don't comment on the this.clientr/clientr, that isn't the problem]

clientr. variables can't save objects when the player logs off (They're saved as strings in the accounts/*/* folder)

hmm- how would I resolve this? any ideas?

Make the object into an array before they logoff, then turn it into an object again when they logon. :]

Ahh- that seems pretty pointless... I think I'll just stick to an array kind of format, thanks though!! =D

When I was working on GK's quest system, I was storing information in a clientr. TStaticVar object, and upon onPlayerLogout(), I converted it to several strings (one for each quest), and then reloaded it into the object (and removing the strings) upon onPlayerLogin().

Works a charm =D
Thanks

One question... I was thinking of storing the information as client. vars, but thats quite insecure, however on login it will be converted to clientr, is that a bad idea or? (as the player won't have time to edit anything on login or whilst they're logging out, right?)

Just go with clientr. vars from the start, and save yourself a lot of trouble.

awesome- thank you


Edit:

Something like this you mean, right?

function onLoadCharacters() {
  for (temp.i = 1; temp.i < clientr.cha_size; temp.i++) {
    temp.list = getstringkeys("clientr.cha_" @ i @ "_");
    for (temp.var: temp.list) {
      clientr.("char_" @ i).(@ var) = clientr.("cha_" @ i @ "_" @ temp.var);
      clientr.("cha_" @ i @ "_" @ temp.var) = null;
    }
  }
}
  
function onSaveCharacters() {
  temp.list = getstringkeys("clientr.char_");
  clientr.cha_size = (temp.list.size() + 1);
  
  for (temp.i: temp.list) {
    temp.data.copyfrom(clientr.("char_" @ i));
    for (temp.var: temp.data.getdynamicvarnames()) {
      clientr.("cha_" @ i @ "_" @ temp.var) = temp.data.(@ temp.var);
    }
  }
}
