something useful

Hey guys. Just thought I'd tell you this because, like a lot of people, much of my time is spent trying to work out/bug test things to do with the %client object.

Write a little script like this:

GlobalActionMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "F8", "", "clientCmdAdd_snapcam_observer();");

function clientCmdGetClient()
{
commandToSever('StoreClient');
}

function serverCmdStoreClient(%client)
{
$me = %client;
}

I personally find this invaluable. I'm sure a lot of you do this already though.

You can then do useful things in the console like:

$me.player.dump();
echo($me.camera.getTransform());

etc etc.
