Retrieving Server-Sided Information

[Jeep]

I am trying to retrieve a text file from the server via a client mod. Does anyone know how to do this?

[Nexus]

the server can send data by doing commandtoclient(%client, 'Mycommand', %data);

This will trigger the corresponding clientcmdMycommand(%data) on that client

It's like servercmd except the other way around

You need a server mod too.

yes, that's essentially what nexus said

yes, that's essentially what nexus said

What

commandtoClient and commandtoserver are default functions

No stuff, lol.

Nexus said:

Code: [Select]

//server code
commandtoclient(%client, 'acommand', %data);

//client code
clientcmdACommand(%data)
{
//stuff
}

reread, then kick yourself a few times

[Evar678]

Oh. derp..

Here I go not thinking about what I'm reading again.

So, how do I call a server function via the client?

[Ipquarx]

commandToServer('name', %data);

[Jeep]

commandToServer('name', %data, %moredata);
Is this how you handle multiple args?

[Treynolds416]

^ yes

[Ipquarx]

Note that the arguments each have a maximum length of 255 characters.

'Lil exemple of what i learnt by asking the same question 1 month ago:

Server Sided:
server.cs

function serverCmdGetfruits(%client)

Code: [Select]

{
    commandToClient(%client, 'ReceiveData', %client.apple, %client.kiwi);
}
Client Sided:
client.cs

Code: [Select]

function clientCmdReceiveData(%apple, %kiwi)
{
echo("You have "@%apple@" apples and "@%kiwi@" kiwis! ");
}
I know you already have been answered but I just want to make sure :P

[Jeep]

Now, how would I create a file?

i.e. config/server/test/whatever.txt ?
