[Black_Rose©]

Hello everyone,

In this tutorial, I'll guide you on setting up communication between quests and the client interface. While there are modern game sources available, some might prefer this reliable older approach. Let's get started!

Sending Information to the Client

To initiate communication from the quest, you can use a simple command that's familiar to most developers.

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

On the client side, you will need to update game.py:

Locate the following section:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Under this section, add:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Next, define the function in Python named command_name_python or the name you used:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Make sure all functions and text are properly aligned with TAB key spaces.

Starting a Quest from the Client (for Button Presses)

The quest structure can be set up like this:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

For the client, add to game.py under the same section:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Then, define the function as follows:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Before continuing, don't forget to open constInfo.py and add:

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

You can now utilize this function throughout your Python code:

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

This method is particularly useful for button actions. Be cautious not to trigger this function from within a quest to avoid creating infinite loops.

Retrieving a Variable from the Client (For Updates 34 & 40k)

This trick is essential and requires careful attention to detail. Your quest should look like this:

On the client-side, make the following additions to game.py:

Now, modify interfacemodule.py for versions 34k and above:

For lower versions, open uiquest.py and add the check:

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Finally, implement these functions in game.py:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In

• Sign Up

Ensure that the last line of your Python files is left blank.

Sending Multiple Information to the Client at Once

To send several values at once, use the following method:
