Important Shared Variables

    With todays GMod update and the CW update that went with it, it's important to note the following:
    • You must register shared vars now or they will not work (done in the ClockworkAddSharedVars hook). There are error messages in the server's console for unregistered vars being used, but not on the client. I'll look into automatically registering shared vars in the future with the type of the value they are given if they don't exist yet.
    • Global/Player shared vars must now follow the type they are registered with. Global vars didn't have this restriction before, they do now.

    Alternatively feel free to use your own networking vars system until all bugs are ironed out, or manually the invoke the GMod methods.

    Also cool, you can share tables if you specify a third argument for Clockwork.kernel:SetSharedVar.
    Code:
    Clockwork.kernel:SetSharedVar("TableKey", {nyaah = 1}, "MySharedTable");
Clockwork.kernel:GetSharedVar("TableKey", "MySharedTable");
    All connected clients will receive the table, and all future clients will receive it as well. You can individually share a table with a single player using
    Code:
    Clockwork.player:SetSharedVar(player, "TableKey", {nyaah = 1}, "MySharedTable");
    It uses datastreaming.
