Classes help -.-

[Seichi]

I dunno why, but they won't work for me. ;o For example, I create a class test. Inside test, I have:
//#CLIENTSIDE
public function sayHi() {
player.chat = "hi!";
}

And in a weapon testweapon I have:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
join("test");
}
function onWeaponFired() {
sayHi();
}

What am I doing wrong?

I think you need to join the class directly to the player via:
player.join("test");

and then run it via player.sayHi();

That should work.

Yeah, I read that whole document and I tried it but it still didn't work...

You need to use join serverside.

[KuJi]

Ahh, yeah, you can only join to a player via serverside. I usually make 1 class called playerfunctions, then join it to the player on the server start, and it all works fine, and perfect, and saves me a ton of time and lines in my code :-)

I tried that too, it doesn't seem to work.

Class: test

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function sayHi() {
  player.chat = "Hi";
} 


Weapon:

PHP Code:

join("test");
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired() {
  sayHi();
} 


This should work. If you want an example using a player joined class, feel free to ask.

Didn't work....but I don't think you can just have join(); floating out there, can you? :P I guess now would be a good time to ask for an example....but I'm trying to use a class with a weapon. Off topic a bit, but how do I set flags in GS2? I noticed that there are flags when you look in the /open account name, like clientr.whatever = whatever; In my scripts I use clientr, but they never appear in the script flags underp player attributes.

The classe example should be working... Just tested it to make sure. Are you sure that in the join part, you have the name of the right class there?

And for your next question, clientr. flags should be set serverside.

FYI:
client. flags can be set and read both serverside and clientside.
-If it doesn't need to be secure, then it's OK to make it a client. flag.

clientr. flags can only be set serverside, but read both serverside and clientside.
-If it needs to be secure, only use a clientr. flag.

Thanks, I got the flags now. Yeah, I made sure that the classname is correct, it doesn't work.

Zzz.. Look at some of my scripts, you silly goose.

You're joining them to a weapon, so you don't want to be using public functions.

To the people above, you can join classes to NPCweapons in the clientside.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  join("test");
}

function onWeaponFired() {
  sayHi();
}

For one reason or another, I was told that it is best to have join serverside, and not inside any kind of event block.

O-o
I don't see why.. I've had no problems.

[Seichi]

I did look at your scripts Yen, and I did everything you did but it didn't work. It works when I create a new class and NPC, but when I do the same thing with a real weapon and a real class, it doesn't work, telling me it can't find the function in the weapon.

I'll check it out when you get home.
