Getting server datablock information clientside

[Wheatley]

Basically, is it possible to get the client's current player datablock information on the client's side, and if so, how would I?

I basically need this to check a simple datablock field as part of a clientside script. In this case, I need to find the datablock's maxTools.

echo(serverConnection.getControlOb ject().getDatablock()); tree();?

then pull data from fields in tree?

i mean, get the name of fields from tree, the pull data with this: serverConnection.getControlObject().getDatablock().fieldhere

Except maxTools isn't a networked field for datablocks?

fcking

i totally missed literally the last 2 words of the op

THE LAST 2 WORDS

echo(serverConnection.getControlOb ject().getDatablock());

I haven't worked that much with clientside, but that returns a syntax error.
is ServerConnection not a scriptobject or something?

EDIT: echo(isObject(ServerConnection)); returns true.

Thread is full of not seeing things

Also, if that's the case, how does the server tell the client how many slots to show?

By a client command.

By a client command.

Any idea which? I've already looked through all the clientCmds my console gives me, but none of them sound relevant.

try tracing for it when you spawn
I suggest turning off rtb for that

[Wheatley]

Nice idea. I'm guessing changing datablocks might work too?

I'll edit this post when I get results.

EDIT: it seems to draw it with clientCmdPlayGUI_CreateToolHU D(%slots);

Alright, this works. Thanks. Locking.
