does triggerserver work in classes? (originally named "does...")

does triggerserver work in classes?

something really simple like this doesn't even work so I'm assuming it doesn't work in classes :X

PHP Code:


			
function onActionServerSide()
{
  message("hi");
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
  if (player.chat == "hi")
  {
    triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "");
  }
}

I always thought it did

PHP Code:


			
function onActionStuff() {

  echo("Somebody just trigered a test class! Odamn..");

}



function onCreated() {

  setshape(1, 32, 32);

  dontblock();

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  setshape(1, 32, 32);

  dontblock();

  

  triggeraction(this.x, this.y, "Stuff", NULL);

}

Don't use "ServerSide" as the action name, this wont work. I'm also not sure if the shape on the clientside is needed, I just always do it

Edit: Neo also has a valid point. If it's joined into a weapon, it should work.

in a level
I'm assuming I have to use triggeraction instead because of that?

ohi crow, didn't see your post yet

Yes, it works if you triggeraction with a seperate name then ServerSide (onActionServerSide will not work). For ones that are joined to NPCS/Weapons, triggerserver will work fine.

Also, you should use name instead of this.name, there are cases when it will return something invalid, or so I have been told. Someone feel free to correct me.

Never had any problems with this.name.

Probably some inexperienced scripter who was trying to get this.name inside of another object when (s)he should have been using thiso.name

I've heard people on the forums mention this, in any case, if this.name works, use it!

I'm just going to use name since it is less typing ...

I said that in Sidney's post. You should avoid this.name in most cases and use either thiso.name or just plain name as this.name might be overridden by a function call by another object. Only really matters with public functions and function calls inside a with block though.
