GetUserVariable question

[Someone]

Doing some testing to get a grip of how the engine works.

content.php

 

<?php
SetUserVariable('attack', 1050);
TableHeader("Player Stat");
echo 'Attack: '.GetUserVariable('attack').'<br />';
echo 'Defense:'.GetUserVariable('defense').'<br />';
echo 'Speed:'.GetUserVariable('spvvveedfff').'<br />';
TableFooter();
?>

 

This outputs

Player Stat

Attack: 1050

Defense:1050

Speed:1050

spvvveedfff is not a real variable at all but it returns the attack value.

Here is the config.xml that is used for this module

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.nw-engine.com/modules.xsd">
<module name="Abilities" version="0.1" author="Someone" description="blah" />
<variable name="attack" />
<variable name="defense" />
<variable name="speed" />

</configuration>

 

And how do I set a default value for uservariables

Because you do it wrong, you should not use a string as first parameter but the define which will be automatically setup for you (during module installation) and stored in config/auto_defines.php

Your code should be:

<?phpSetUserVariable(attack, 1050);
TableHeader("Player Stat");echo 'Attack: '.GetUserVariable(attack).'';
echo 'Defense:'.GetUserVariable(defense).'';
echo 'Speed:'.GetUserVariable(spvvveedfff).'';
TableFooter();
?>

 

Yet, for me those should be stats and not user variables, for stats it's a bit differently handled.

Aha

And your abselutely right, those should be userstats
