Player meta func everywhere ?

[Gigabaitt]

On sv
local meta = FindMetaTable("Player")

function meta:Example()
self:HelloWorld(self:GetName())
end

function PrintName(name)
return name
end

How to run Example func on client side ? because it work only on server side.
And function "PrintName" work only on server side.

If you want a meta function that can be both run on client and server, it needs to be in the shared file. Right now it's only in the server file (sv), so it can only be ran server side.

Ok, can u write example for how me get data from server using net and player meta ?

For example i writed code, but i don't get "Hello" string, only nil.

-- SH
local meta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )

function meta:GetSomeVariable()

local data = ""

net.Start("GetSomeVar")
print("Sended!")
net.WriteEntity(self)
net.SendToServer()

net.Receive("SendData",function()
print("Received!")
data = net.ReadString()
end)

return data

end

-- SV

local str = "Hello"
net.Receive("GetSomeVar",function()
local ply = net.ReadEntity()
net.Start("SendData")
net.WriteString(str)
net.Send(ply)
end)

-- CL

print(LocalPlayer():GetSomeVariable())

I need get data from server using ply meta. Maybe someone know a better method than mine ?

--SV

util.AddNetworkString("Request.Var")

--SH

local meta = FindMetaTable("Player")

function meta:GetVar()
    //All net operations are async aswell, due to physics constraints
    //You are supposed to initialize the var before
    return self._cached
end

net.Receive("Request.Var", function(l, ply)
    if SERVER then
        ply._cached = 2 + 2
        //We can use the same net message as dual link between realms
        net.Start("Request.Var")
        net.WriteInt(ply._cached, 2)
        net.Send(ply)
    else
        //Now meta:GetVar() returns 4 and not nil
        ply._cached = net.ReadInt(2)
        //If we have setup a callback, we run it
        if (ply._callFunc) then
            ply._callFunc(ply._cached)
            //We mark the job as done
            ply._callFunc = nil
        end
    end
end)

--CL

function meta:RequestVar(callBack)
    net.Start("Request.Var")
    net.SendToServer()
    if (callBack) then
        //We save the callback, this is just an example scenario
        self._callFunc = callBack
    end
end

local ply = LocalPlayer()

ply:RequestVar() --Requests the var
MsgN(ply:GetVar()) --Will print nil

//Async example
ply:RequestVar(function(var)
    //Once we get the variable sync, this function will be ran
    MsgN(var) --Will print 4
    MsgN(ply:GetVar()) --Will print 4
end)

It depends on what you're actually trying to accomplish, the meta tables seems like a dumb approach to do that.
Also net.Receive on the server has the ply who sent the message as the second argument, your code is not safe.
