LibRPC RFC
This function was added in LibRPC (API 1.2).
Description:
This method is used to call server functions from npc script using streams as medium. Calling RFC will returns function which can be used to call remote functions of server( i.e. functions in squirrel gamemode) when called with their parameters. Note that a single call to RFC(..) will return function and a double call RFC(..)(param1, param2, .. ) where param1, param2 are parameters of remote function only will call the remote function. RFC stands for Remote Function Call
Parameters:
([string]funcname or [userdata])
funcname : The name of the remote function or userdata returned by F. (Assuming F is calling a function which will return a function which is our target function)
Return Values:
This will return a function object which can be used as if it is the remote function itself.(except of return values)
Example
- Calling 'SetGravity' function of server from npcscripts:
RFC("SetGravity")(0.0)- npc setting skin of itself:
RFC(F("compilestring")("FindPlayer("+GetMyID()+").Skin=0"))()Related Functions
