Client sided questions

[Aide33]

How would I get every player name in the server(client side)?
Also how would I put all of the names in a list?
Example:

Code: [Select]

%list = [apple,banana,orange];
if("banana" in %list)
    //docode

TorqueScript does not have support for lists.
In any case, get them from the player list GUI.

Damn, Torquescript doesn't have support for almost anything :c

In any case, get them from the player list GUI.

Any idea how to do that?

[HellsHero]

To get all the players into a 'list' use this:

Code: [Select]

function getPlayerList()
{
for(%i=0;(%row=NPL_List.getrowtext(%i))!$="";%i++)
{
%name = getField(%row,1);
if(%list$="")
%list = %name;
else
%list = %list TAB %name;
}
return %list;
}
Then to search the string made by that function use this:

Code: [Select]

function findField(%sourceString,%searchString,%offset)
{
%count = getFieldCount(%sourceString);
if(%offset > %count || %offset $= "")
%offset = 0;
for(%i=%offset;%i<%count;%i++)
{
%field = getField(%sourceString,%i);
if(%field $= %searchString)
return %i;
}
return -1;
}
Hope that helped and sorry for spoon feeding, I was bored..

[MARBLE MAN]

%list = "apple" SPC "banana" SPC "orange";
%list2 = strReplace(%list,"apple"," ");
if (%list != %list2)
{
echo("an apple is in the list");
}


go nuts

:/

function isWordInList(%list, %word)
{ return striPos(" "@%list@" ", %word) != -1; }


EDIT:

Also, please figure out why that's wrong before trying to help others further. :u

TorqueScript does not have support for lists.

It does too. %list = new GuiTextListCtrl(); Just don't add it to any guis and it works fine as a list object.

Yup.

Go ahead and compare the performance of using strings as lists and using something that isn't meant for storing data at all.

I also seem to recall that even making a new GUI element will crash a dedicated server.

It would seem that is not the case
I lauched a dedicated server and typed this into it:

Well, first, guiTextListCtrls are meant for storing data, second I never said that it was efficient. I said that it exists.

Nexus is right, it doesn't crash, that's why I said that it does work on dedicated servers.
