local. strings?

[contiga]

Works:

PHP Code:

setstring local.weapon,fishingrod;
initWeapon(); 


Doesn't work:

PHP Code:

local.weapon = "fishingrod";
initWeapon(); 


(At Stefan, see +FishingRod on Debug)
Anyone has an explaination?

ive had that type of problem before but i dont remmber how i managed to fix it . at one time i had string's that wouldnt set unless i did it the old way couse the new one wouldnt work .


old example * setstring string,value;

new example * this.string = "value";

but id bet your too good to make the mistake of setting a string on the wrong side (client/server) . i think i may have solved the problem by deleteing the npc .

Ghehe, yeah I knew that Skyld already thought it had to do with the Engine.. which I agree with. So I guess Stefan can only fix it.

What exactly doesn't work? When I set a local variable, it sets correctly.

It sets local.* to something, and when doing player.chat = local.*; it also shows what it's set to.. but it can't be read by multiple NPC's.. (a joined class in this case). I have to use setstring local.*,foo; for that (the GS1 ****).

All variables set with setstring that don't have a special leading (this., thiso., server., serverr.) are added to the player (like in GS1), so you need to do

PHP Code:

player.local.weapon = "fishingrod"; 


to stay compatible with the current scripts.

Problem solved, thanks!
