ACS_SendString(int scriptnum, str s)
ACS_NamedSendString(str scriptname, str s)
These functions will launch the specified clientside script and send the string to it. For example:
ACS_SendString(123, "Hello there"); ACS_NamedSendString("myscript", "A test string");
To receive a string, the receiving script must be like this:
script 123 (int a, int b, int c, int d) CLIENTSIDE { // Do nothing if the string hasn't been fully received. if (!ReceiveString(a, b, c, d)) terminate; // The string has been fully received. It can now be retrieved using GetReceivedString(). Log(s:"Received string: ", s:GetReceivedString()); }
Use GetReceivedString()
to retrieve the string that has just been received.
