How interact variables of torque script and show it in the GUI?

Hi everyone.

I have some questions of how interact the variables that i define in torque script and display in the GUI.

I have created a GuiTextCtrl and a file with the collision function in that function i need increase the variable score.

$client = %col.client;
$client.score += 1;
commandToClient($client, 'SetScoreCounter', $client.score);

I have read the "commandToClient" its use to communicate the with the GUI, its correct ? o how i can display the value of score?

If you're using commandToClient, then you need a corresponding clientCmd (don't put client in a $global, use a %local instead):

On server:
function doStuff(%client)
{
   commandToClient(%client, 'makeClientDoStuff', %arg);
}

On client:
function clientCmdMakeClientDoStuff(%arg) //Note the name
{
   //Do stuff
}

Hope that helps.

Thx, but i still having the same problem.

in my file /art/datablocks/player.cs

function DefaultPlayerData::onCollision (%this, %obj, %col)
{
echo (" DefaultPlayerData Collision with " @ %col.getName());

if (%col.getName() $= "gol1")
{
%this.Anotacion(%client);
}
}


in my file /scripts/server/player.cs

function DefaultPlayerData::Anotacion (%client)
{
%score += 2;
commandToClient(%client, 'setScoreCounter', %score);
echo( %score) ;
}

Finally i create a file with this file is scripts/client/gameClient.cs and added tu client/init.cs

function clientCmdSetScoreCounter(%client)
{
SetScoreCounter.setText("score " SPC %score) ;
}

I wish you can helpme thx

function clientCmdSetScoreCounter(%client)
should be
function clientCmdSetScoreCounter(%score)

Also, in your first function you don't have %client defined.
