Variables on different scripts.

[Dreft]

I have:

scriptone.lua - server side

scripttwo.lua - client side

In server side script "scriptone.lua" i created variable

a = 5

How to know what "a" is equal in client side script "scripttwo.lua" ?

I mean, how to move variables through all same resource scripts ?

[Gamesnert]

It's easy to get them in another server-side script. Synching client-side though can pretty much only be done with triggerClientEvent/triggerServerEvent or setElementData. (imagine the bandwidth usage if every single var that has changed was synched )

Uhm.. ok, how to get it in another server-side script ? If i set a = 5, then in others server-side scripts its automatically set to 5 too ?

[Gamesnert]

Yup

Script 1:

a=5

Script 2:

outputDebugString(tostring(a))

Output:

INFO: 5

[Dreft]

Oh, easy. Thanks for help

And one more question on topic :}

Script 1:

setElementData( thePlayer, "variable.a", 5 )

Script2:

a = getElementData( thePlayer, "variable.a" )

This will be right ?

That is very very good, here i got something else:

Useful functions:

callClientFunction: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.ph ... ntFunction

callServerFunction: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.ph ... erFunction

can callClientFunction be a good alternative to triggerClientEvent?

[CodeMaster]

Yup it can.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.php?title=CallClientFunction for more info about it (but I guess you found it there).

@Gamesnert: You're sure that serverside scripts share variables? Wouldn't that cause some of the confusion? I thought they were separated (partially)...

[Gamesnert]

Only vars in different resources or defined with "local" aren't shared. I'm pretty much sure of that yes.

[CodeMaster]

Ktnx, that helps a lot.

its true, but i think this is not what he meant. it sounds much more like he wanted to know if two separate resources can share cvariables... which would be CHAOS

SO: Serverside global variables can be reached within this single resource, no matter if you used two different files in your resource, but wont be existing in other resources.
