stateTransitionOnTimeout[4] = "Fire";
stateTimeoutValue[4] = 0.1;Yeah I get the internet. I don't know the TS specifics of HTTP objects though. I'll figure it out.There should be some references in the coding help section that break it down. There's a sticky with tons of resources found here. (Credits to Elm)
Also as far as just copy/pasting your guy's code1) The point I was trying to make is that when you copy pasta, you need to LEARN from it, not just take our word or skim it, but do some actual thinking and look at the code, see what it does, see how you can use it, how you can modify it, how it fits in with everything you've already made. If you don't do this, you'll never learn from it and you won't be able to build on the knowledge that you never learned to fix these simple errors and understand how you can start coding more complex things.
1) I don't plan to ever release this
2) The only use this add-on will ever have is to look back for references for add-ons I will make in the future.
3) Really the only thing I will use this on my server for is testing to see if it works.
I'm not very fluent in coding.This is a learning process. You should identify that in your text editor the gray means it thought it was a string. Usually this is caused by not correctly closing a quote (such as like accidently escaping a quote or forgetting to escape one).

function newCat(%name, %size, %color, %gender)
{
%so = new ScriptObject() //Usually you can put a name for the object (like the actual BL object, not the name the cat will have) in between the parentheses to access it later but it won't work for me?
{
class = "Cat"; //So this is the class name for your script object. This is used in order to define the methods (functions of a class / object) for this script object
name = %name; //We do some initializing with the variables passed to this function. You can create as many of these fields (variables of a class / object) as you want
size = %size;
color = %color;
gender = %gender;
//I usually initialize all fields that I will ever use so I can remember that this object has them
//I usually do "" for regular variables and 0 for objects that will later get created on the script object
children = 0;

//%so.name = "another name";
//When making objects on a class, youhave to define them outside

echo("Coburn's cat has a cool name. It's name is " @ $cat[3605].name);You're probably familiar with the . but not exactly what it really is. The . is actually basically a class retrieval operator. It will either run a method (function of a class / object) or get a member (variable of a class / object). Sooo%obj; //Come junk object

//What happens over at the purr function

You could also make a cat script object instead of just storing a name and then you can have all the commands that the cat will use in their own namespace and you can store variables on the cat like %cat.name and sooooo much more. It would be nicer than just a few functions that use the cats name or having tons of arrays for all the different cat parameters for all the players cats.
$kitty = 'Georges'
Well, your first major issue is that you're trying to make a client-side mod with server commands
1. Server sided
no if your asking for help, make it easy for the people who are trying to help you to understand what you want, be straight and to the point don't smother your questions inside a full paragraph of bullstuffThis, 100 times this.
One of my first problems is that I have no idea how to name the cat. I want the cat represented by a variable, such as $kitty, you could do something along the lines of $kitty = 'Georges' so the kitty is named Georges. I then think, this solution would only work for one cat, and I want it to work for more!Question 2:
Also, I have no idea how to represent $kitty in chat. If someone said /namecat Georges, what would I put in response? messageClient(%client, '', "Your cat is named $kitty"); Would this solution do it? I don't think so, because variables aren't automagically replaced by what they are. That was my second problem.Question 3:
My third, probably harder and less needed problem, is how would I save said kitty when the player disconnects? I know this is very complex, so it may not end up happening.
//You store all the cats at the index specified by the players ID
//So when making a new cat, you'd do something like $kitties[%client.bl_id] = newCat();
$kitties[3605] = %myCat; //Coburn's cat would be here
$kitties[9097] = %yourCat; //Cloudy8's cat would be here
$kitties[1337] = %haxorCat; //etc's cat would be here
$kitties[0] = %kittyCat; //Badspot's cat would be here
$kitties[1] = %shaderCat; //Kompressor's cat would be here
%client.cat = %myKittyCat;//Using the BLID array thing with SimSets
$kitties[3605] = new SimSet();
$kitties[3605].add(newCat());
//Using the BLID array thing with another array (in effect a multidimensional array)
$kitties[3605,0] = newCat();//Joining strings
%resultStr = "Results go here";
%resultStr = "this" @ "that"; //becomes thisthat
%resultStr = "this" SPC "that"; //becomes this that
%resultStr = "this" TAB "that"; //Hopefully obvious, joins them with a tab
%resultStr = "this" NL "that"; //Joins then with a new line
%that = 100;
%resultStr = "this" SPC %that; //Becomes this 100
%that ="test";
%resultStr = "this" SPC %that; //Becomes this test
Why wouldn't it be okay? Many people have bought keys for friends before.I agree
There's this thing called trust - it's a free key after all, so that's good anyways.
