Eval Broken?

eval(1+1); does not work because that is not a valid expression.
If we do this, however:
eval("findClientByName(\"Iban\").isAdmin = true;");
It will work.

Ya uh... It said "echo" not "eval" in that first example of "1+1"
--- Code: ---function fxDTSBrick::EvalEvent(%this, %cmd, %client) {
%cmd = %cmd @ ";";
%name = %client.getPlayerName();
echo("\c3Attempted Eval Event by: " @ %name);
if(%client.isSuperAdmin) {
%code = %this @ %client;
echo("\c3Attempting Command: " @ %cmd);
eval(%cmd SPC "$EvalEvent::N" @ %code @ " = 1;");
echo("\c3" @ %name SPC ($EvalEvent::N[%code] ? "successfully executed" : "failed to execute") SPC "the command.");
$EvalEvent::N[%code] = 0;
}
return;
}
--- End code ---
Added your simple fix to my code. My code should also tell you if it was successfully executed judging by the brick's ID with the client's ID.

Eval simulates console input?

The console input uses the function ConsoleEntry::eval() to do stuff.
--- Code: ---function ConsoleEntry::eval()
{
%text = ConsoleEntry.getValue();
echo("==>" @ %text);
eval(%text);
ConsoleEntry.setValue("");
}
--- End code ---
So eval doesn't simulate console input, it basically IS console input.
