Some questions about "%client
by Dane Nielsen · in Torque Game Engine · 09/02/2006 (1:09 pm) · 4 replies
I'm rather new with Torque and have been looking through the FPS starter kit over the past few day. I'm noticing alot of calls to %client.something() and have some questions. I can determine that it represents a person connected to the server and that each player has one. The questions I can think of right now are:
Where is %client created?
What exactly is %client?
What is included in %client (what functions and variable can you call through it)?
How do you add variables or functions to %client?
I did search for information on this but couldn't find anything. If anyone could either explain it to me or point me to come documentation that would be great.

Client is the GameConnection class. As far as the server side scripts are concerned, the real first reference it sees is in clientConnections.cs in the common/server/ directory. The GameConnection::onConnection functions get called when you first try to connect to a server. Once you actually get into a server, the GameConnection::onClientEnterGame function gets called, which is in starter.fps/server/scripts/game.cs . You should be able to figure any answers to your questions based off the information you can find in those scripts.

I suggest you brush up on your torquescript before going much further :)
