Using variables from other scripts. - zappydude - 27.09.2012

Basically, I've got a registration script which I plan to put a 'VIP' type system into. However, I do plan to put in special buildings etc. that are only accessible by VIPs - now, for me to check if they are a VIP, I'd have to read from the file using INI as the variables of course that hold whether they are a VIP are stored in the filterscript.

In terms of getting around this, I can only think of the file reading method, however I usually only update the files using INI when they disconnect - the problem this poses is that if I make them a VIP while they are connected, it will stay in a variable that's created for every player and it will not be updated in the file until they disconnect and it writes.

As a solution I could make it save automatically after a command that edits the game-file, however I'd rather not.

Any clues? I'd also like to avoid joining the filterscript to the gamemode - worst case scenario I'll put all of the VIP system related code within the registration system, but I would of liked to of kept it within the gamemode just so I'd be able to keep all the vehicles (specifically the VIP ones) inside the gamemode.

This is what PVars are used for. They're cross script.
