Hello poeple!

I am just busy with a simple admin script. But have some little questions, i’ve always make clientside script, no serverside. Untill now! I’ve have an problem, i want that the server van send a string to the client. In this case the player rank. And that string (playerrank) that has send from the server to the client i want to set it in the variable KEV_STR_RANK. Is there any tutorials about this? Or someone who can show me an example about it :)?

Files:
[CLIENT] https://kev-admin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lua/kev_client.lua
[SERVER] https://kev-admin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lua/kev_server.lua (Lol empty :P)

usermessages, or SetNWString I believe.

[lua]Msg("= * BlackHawk23, Learning me LUA =")[/lua]

You might want to change that to “Teaching me LUA”

Sorry, your right. My English isn’t that good haha :frowning:

Editing now, thanks!

#4

lol, anyways I think that’s how most admin systems work, I have never looked into them. Just set the NWString or Int to Admin or Super admin or w/e.

#5

aha, right. I an try now to use datastream :slight_smile: hopes that will work!

#6

To send a short? Bad idea.

#7

Oh, ok. it is just better to use NWstring?

#8

Umsg?

#9

Yeah, usmg works fine! Thank you all. umsg supports max 255 chars, right? and if it is larger than 255 chars using datastream?

#10

Or two usermessages

#11

There is no good reason to use datastream. If the stuff you need to send doesn’t fit in a single user message, send more.

En hoe oud ben jij, Kevin?

#12

Yeah. One umsg. Or TWO Umsgs. Easy as that.

#13

Yeah, i understand. thx :slight_smile:
