Can I add a datablock mid-server? [SOLVED]

[Club559]

Is it possible to add a datablock mid-game without having everyone leave/crash?
I was told to do this...

Code: [Select]

function allReloadDatablocks()
{
messageAll('',"\c6Reloading datablocks...");
for(%i=0;%i<ClientGroup.getCount();%i++)
{
commandToClient(ClientGroup.getObject(%i),'missionPreparePhase1');
commandToClient(ClientGroup.getObject(%i),'missionStartPhase1');
commandToClient(ClientGroup.getObject(%i),'missionPreparePhase2');
commandToClient(ClientGroup.getObject(%i),'missionStartPhase2');
commandToClient(ClientGroup.getObject(%i),'missionStartPhase3');
}
}

But that doesn't actually download the datablock. Is there a way to force datablock redownloading?

Does the new datablock have files that aren't already used by previous ones?

Not really, just the datablock itself.

...
does it reference any files

I just answered that pretty much. It only references files that have already been used by other datablocks. The only new thing about it is the datablock itself.

transmitdatablocks(); should do the job then. takes a few seconds to finish.
