It’s player.setDatablock();

what's the difference between changeDataBlock and setDataBlock

I suspect one is for the event
not entirely sure though

one is for the event since setDatablock isnt limited to players only

Code: [Select]

function Player::ChangeDataBlock(%player, %data, %client)
{
	if (!isObject(%data))
	{
		return;
	}
	%oldData = %player.getDataBlock();
	if (%data.getId() == %oldData.getId())
	{
		return;
	}
	%player.playThread(3, root);
	if (%oldData.canRide && !%data.canRide)
	{
		if (%player.getObjectMount())
		{
			%player.getDataBlock().doDismount(%player, 1);
		}
	}
	%player.setDatablock(%data);
	%image = %player.getMountedImage(0);
	if (%image)
	{
		if (%image.getId() == %oldData.brickImage.getId() && %oldData.brickImage.getId() != %data.brickImage.getId())
		{
			%player.mountImage(%data.brickImage, 0);
		}
	}
	if (isObject(%player.client))
	{
		commandToClient(%player.client, 'ShowEnergyBar', %data.showEnergyBar);
	}
}

it's probably better to use changeDataBlock
it seems like it handles things better

It simply is limited for the purpose of events and only works for players. I would use setDatablock personally and use my own checks to make sure it's not loving up such as ensuring the object exists etc.

Edit: Oops didn't realize I bumped this by that much. Oh well, it's all reference for searches anyways.
