This function was added in v1.6 beta and will not work on previous versions.
Description:
This will send data( results in calling onClientScriptData of squirrel-server )
Parameters:
(data)
data: The blob which needs to be formatted as below.
Inorder for the squirrel-plugin of server to read what is send :
1. The length of string is written before the string as two bytes.
2. The word written in (1) should be big endian. Here swap2 function can be used (2 bytes-and hence the name)
Return Values:
true on success, false on failure( instead of blob, some other instance of a class is passed )
Example
Input npcscript
local b=blob(); b.writen( 1234, 'i' ); b.writen( 10, 'b' ); //b - byte b.writen( swap2(5), 'w' ); //w - word b.writen('h','c'); //c - signed char b.writen('e','c'); b.writen('l','c'); b.writen('l','c'); b.writen('o','c'); b.writen(100.789, 'f'); //f float SendServerData(b);
Output from server
function onClientScriptData(p){ print(Stream.ReadInt());print(Stream.ReadByte()); print(Stream.ReadString());print(Stream.ReadFloat()); } [SCRIPT] 1234 [SCRIPT] 10 [SCRIPT] hello [SCRIPT] 100.789
