Arity

Unary — publicVariableServer "<variableName>".

publicVariableServer <string>   // quoted variable name

Description

Sends the value of a global variable to the server only (not to other clients). The variable name is passed as a string. Useful for clients sending data to the server without broadcasting to everyone.

Placeholder/stub — full networking implementation is the host's responsibility.

How It Works

Fires the host's public variable event targeted at the server only. More efficient than publicVariable when only the server needs the update.

Usage

// Client sends request to server
_playerAction = "ready";
publicVariableServer "_playerAction";

// Client reports position to server
_clientPos = [1234, 5678, 0];
publicVariableServer "_clientPos";

Thread Safety

Depends on host implementation.
