How to make the add on to require any face or decal?

[BlockAlpha]

There is a cs file, his name is "server", and like

Code: [Select]

%errorA = ForceRequiredAddOn("Face_IPO");
%errorA = ForceRequiredAddOn("Decal_Crazyswar");
%errorA = ForceRequiredAddOn("Decal_Hoodie");
//if(%errorA == $Error::AddOn_Disabled)
if(%errorA == $Error::AddOn_NotFound)
   error("ERROR: Gamemode_Zombie - required add-on Gamemode_Zombie not found");
elseHow can I do that it will require any face or decal in my marked addons?

You can't require clients to have faces or decals as they're client sided.

ForceRequiredAddOn also only requires the SERVER to be running the inputed add-on. But as faces and decals are client sided, the server can't even do that.

What you're doing above also wouldn't work under any circumstances because you're overwriting the variable.

Oh ok, thanx.
Do you have any idea how to do that?

Do what? I already said that you can't.

Do you remember the Player_beta addon?
Here a link for you, check it.

It does somehow require some of the faces in my add-ons. There is a file there which names Thumbs.db.

Thumbs.db is just a leftover file for generated thumbnail images. It has nothing to do with the add-on. I'm not seeing anything in that add-on's code that would make it require a decal or face. Why are you trying to make a server add-on that depends on the server having a certain client add-on?

This:

Not work with any decal except the basic which everyone gets when they download the game. (for example: Decal_Hoodie, Face_Jirue)
Check the player beta AddOn, when you'll play with this player model you will understand what I'm saying..

That beta player doesn't appear do anything special to work with other add-ons, and it definitely doesn't require them. How are you handling decals in your add-on?

Actually I don't. lol
This is all the problem, I have no idea how this works..

Okay, what code do you have regarding the appearance of your player type?

I'm pretty sure decals and faces work through the setDecalName and setFaceName methods, which tell everybody the name in question. The client then checks to see if they have that image, and if so, applies it to predefined surfaces on the model. If not, it applies a default decal. Could be wrong about this, though; haven't worked with them much, and the appearance system wasn't really designed with expansion in mind.

Omg, I'm an idiot. just found out that the ifl files are a list of faces/decals:
