Getting data from one addon and get in tranfered over to another.

[Melonos]

Basically, i wanna transfer data from one file(Addon) to another file.

So when a player collects money on a money printer I want to transfer data.

[U]BUT[/U] both files are server sided that is very important!

Let's say we take the money printer snippet of code here.
[LUA]
function ENT:Use(activator)
-- Logs that money has been claimed

-- Claims money here
end
[/LUA]

So what little bit of code is needed where it says "Logs that money has been claimed
" to actually send the data to another addon.

It's just an entity that looks like a computer, and all I need is to send a string to another file, so that an NPC can show you what has been bought on the computer.

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;51815966]Just make a function in the logging addon and call it from the computer addon.

Logging addon:
[lua]log = {};

function log.Add(message)
print(message); // do whatever you want to log it here
end;[/lua]

Computer addon:
[lua]function ENT:Use(activator)
-- Logs that money has been claimed
if(log and log.Add)then
log.Add("Money has been claimed by " .. activator:Nick());
end;

-- Claims money here
end;[/lua]

Or something similar.[/QUOTE]

Thanks!
