LUA - GetServerVariable
Return to: LUA | Tutorials | Portal | Forum | Project Manager | Bug Tracker
GetServerVariable()
Gets the value of the server variable
Syntax
var = GetServerVariable(param1)
Parameters
- Required - param1 (String)
- param1 is the name of the server variable to get
Returns
- String
Usage
function hailed(NPC, Spawn)
local var = tonumber(GetServerVariable("Quest1_Global_Complete_Count"))
if var == nil or var <= 4000 then
OfferQuest(Spawn, Quest1)
else
OfferQuest(Spawn, Quest2)
end
end
This will offer the player a different quest if the server variable Quest1_Global_Complete_Count is less then or equal to 4000
Notes
If the server variable is not a number then tonumber returns nil, hence the check for nil.
Also, if the value is a string, for example a 'motd' variable, or an existing non 'LUA_' prefix variable_name, it will return as NULL. Use GetVariableValue() for those criteria instead.
