help with targeting system

[shadowjones]

As you can probably tell with the past few posts I've made, I blow at GScript, but, o-well I'll learn soon enough. I've was just curious as to how to make a targeting system. To obtain the target you could just click on them. It'd be nice to have it so that it would show this script:

showtext 201,32,64,Arial,b,Health: #s(clientr.player_hp)/#s(clientr.player_maxhp);
showtext 202,32,80,Arial,b,Mana: #s(clientr.player_mp)/#s(clientr.player_maxmp);
showtext 203,32,96,Arial,b,Class: #s(clientr.player_type);

To show, but instead of it being the users clientr.*, it would be the targets instead.

Any help would be appriciated! ^_^

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown(button){
  switch (temp.button){
    case "left":
      CheckPlayer(mousex, mousey);
    break;
  }
}

function CheckPlayer(mx, my){
  temp.pid = testPlayer(temp.mx, temp.my);
  if (temp.pid > -1) 
    setTarget(players[temp.pid]);
}

public function setTarget(target){
  temp.target = findPlayer(temp.target);

  temp.playerhpstats =  {temp.target.clientr.player_hp, temp.target.clientr.player_maxhp};
  temp.playermpstats = {temp.target.clientr.player_mp, temp.target.clientr.player_maxmp};
  temp.playerclass = temp.target.clientr.player_type;

  showText(200, 32, 64, "Arial", "b", format("Health: %f/%f", temp.playerhpstats[0], temp.playerhpstats[1]));
  changeimgvis(200, 4);

  showText(201, 32, 80, "Arial", "b", format("Mana: %f/%f", temp.playermpstats[0], temp.playermpstats[1]));
  changeimgvis(201, 4);

  showText(202, 32, 96, "Arial", "b", format("Class: %s", temp.playerclass));
  changeimgvis(202, 4);
}

As I said what you have to do now is trigger the server to get the information

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside(action){
  switch (action){
    case "GetTargetInfo":
      temp.target = findPlayer(params[1]);
      temp.hpstats = {temp.target.clientr.player_hp, temp.target.clientr.player_maxhp};
      temp.mpstats = {temp.target.clientr.player_mp, temp.target.clientr.player_maxmp};
      temp.targettype = temp.target.clientr.player_type;
 
    player.triggerClient("weapon", name, "GotTargetInfo", temp.hpstats, temp.mpstats, temp.targettype);
    break;
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionClientside(action){
  switch (action){
    case "GotTargetInfo":
      ShowTargetInfo(params[1], params[2], params[3]);
    break;
  }
}

function setTarget(target)
  triggerServer("weapon", name, "GetTargetInfo", temp.target);

function ShowTargetInfo(playerhpstats, playermpstats, playertype){

  showText(200, 32, 64, "Arial", "b", format("Health: %f/%f", temp.playerhpstats[0], temp.playerhpstats[1])); 
  changeimgvis(200, 4); 

  showText(201, 32, 80, "Arial", "b", format("Mana: %f/%f", temp.playermpstats[0], temp.playermpstats[1])); 
  changeimgvis(201, 4); 

  showText(202, 32, 96, "Arial", "b", format("Class: %s", temp.playertype)); 
  changeimgvis(202, 4); 
}
