Gets players to "force" gm to run a macro.

[Shadow Wizard]

I have the following at the end of a macro script:

[h: link = macroLinkText( "Write HPs@lib:Wizard", "gm" )]
[h: execLink( link, 1 )]

However, when a player clicks on it, it doesn't seem to run.

If it matters the macro it is running is as follows:

Code: Select all

[h:pcids=getPC()]
[h:exportplayername="c:/maptooldata/names.txt"]
[h:exportplayerhp="c:/maptooldata/hps.txt"]
[h:exportData(exportplayername, "", 0)]
[h:exportData(exportplayerhp, "", 0)]
[FOREACH(id,pcids), CODE:{
	
	[h:exportData(exportplayername, getName(id), 1)]
	[h:hpdataexport=getProperty("HP", id)]
	[h:hpdataexport=hpdataexport+"/"]
	[h:hpdataexport=hpdataexport+getProperty("MAXHP", id)]
	[h:exportData(exportplayerhp, hpdataexport, 1)]
}]

Basically it need to write a file on the GM's computer when the players execute the first script.
Lil help?

Afaik, you can't send or receive data to the client computer without going through REST or in part the File Sync Directory.

I don't need to send it. The data already exists. Its just, if I use the GM computer to click the " "Write HPs" it writes it to where it needs to be. What I need is the players to run a macro, and that macro causes the GM to run " "Write HPs" macro.

So, I found a workaround. Instead of getting the players to "force" the GM to run the macro, I just did the exportdata to a network location. Now the players can write to it directly.
