clientsided stuff
cucumberdude:
I'm curious as to how clientside stuff works.
Let's say I create a function
--- Code: ---function saywords(%words)
{
echo('Words: ' @ %words);
}
--- End code ---
How does TS know that I want this executed clientside? Is there a different function syntax clientside?
Also, do variables work exactly the same way clientside? Or are there differences?
Thanks.

If you execute that stuff on a pure client, it will be client-sided.
If you execute stuff on a pure server, it will be server-sided.
If you execute it on a hybrid (hosting from the client), it will be both.
When you start a server, code that makes it able to be a server is loaded.
When you load a client, code that makes it a client and not a server is loaded.
thaky:
function saywords(%words)
{
echo('Words: ' @ %words);
}
//===================
//You would have to make /(whatever you want)
//===================
//so...
function clientcmd[whatever](%client, %words)
{
saywords("Hello");
}
//That would make it say:
//
//Words: Hello
//
//It would say that in the client's console.

So if I put that code in a server.cs, upon joining a server I can use the function?
Can you be a tad more specific? I'm new to all this clientside business.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, so I can't be sure, but it looks like you don't know what you're talking about.
Serverside refers to a task that should be carried out on a server, and as such, clientside refers to a task that should be carried out on a client, serverside scripting is put in a server.cs file or a file that is executed by one, and likewise, clientside material in a client.cs or it's executions.
