Packet

[Lenton]

How would I send an .INI value to the client from the server?

Thanks for your help.

In scripting, its Call Getvar, so I guess that works in source too.

[Lenton]

Yer it would but how would I use it?

[AdrianC]

Variable =  GetVar("File.ini", "Header", "VariableName")

[Lenton]

I have EE 1.0, will that function still work?

[AdrianC]

It might, I dunno, wasn't scripting when TE was being used.

[Lenton]

Hold on does this just get a value from a file??

Or does it take the value from the server?

[AdrianC]

Gets a value from a .ini file which you saved in the server.

[Lenton]

I can use ReadINI for that. I want to know how to send information from the server to the client using packets.

[AdrianC]

Well you said .ini files, so I gave you GetVar. I don't do source, so dunno.

[Lenton]

Well in my first post I said:
@Lenton:

> How would I send an .INI value to the client from the server?

I didn't even say how to get an .ini value, only to send it from the server to client.

Thanks anyway.

In source you do this.

Client:
```
Call SendData("case_name" & SEP_CHAR & GetPlayerName(MyIndex) & END_CHAR)

```
Server: (in Sub modHandleData)
```
Case "case_name"
PutVar App.Path & "\Accounts\" & Parse(1) & "_Test.ini", "HEADER", "1", Parse(1)
Exit Sub

```
Put the client code in a message box. And test this code here. Then if you go to the Accounts folder you should See "tehg00n_Test.ini". Well, will say your name but yeah. Then inside should look something like this.

```
[HEADER]
1=tehg00n

```
This example shows you just about everything you need to know. :3
