join() & public function

[xXziroXx]

Cant say im a bad scripter, yet several threads in this "scripting help" forum has been created by me lately..


Anyways, Ive been trying to get a public function to work - without success.


Example on class (named "className" in this test):

PHP Code:

public function funcName()
{
  player.chat = "foo";
} 


Example on Control-NPC:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  player.join( "className");
} 


Example on Weapon:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters()
{
  player.funcName();
} 


If you can tell me what im doing wrong/tell me how to do it properly - I would greatly appriciate it.

Inside player.join'd classes, it is best to refer to the player using this., so:

PHP Code:

this.chat = "foo"; 


Also, I might be mistaken but I think that player. joining only works serverside, and so the function call also has to be serverside.

using player.chat would not break the script, though. If you know this. is always going to be a player, I don't know why you'd want to use this. instead of player. (player. is easier to read, because you know what you are modifying)

Indeed
