what is the use of this , for instance Stefan gave me this (thanks you for that by the way)

if self:getIsActiveForInput() and InputBinding.hasEvent(InputBinding.TOGGLE_BLINKING) then
self.doBlink = not self.doBlink;
setVisiblity(self.blinkLight, false);
self.blinkTimer = 500;
g_client:sendEvent(ToggleBlinkEvent:new(self.doBlink));
end;

but what is the advantage to this , is it easier than having a separate function for the event or what ? if it is i would really like to know as it will save me a lot of time ,


all help would be gracefully accepted , thanks.

This is for sending the blink event to the gamehost, who will broadcast it to all other clients.

Is is importent, so all clients can see that you have start/stop blinking.

But you should only sendevent when the player who starts/stop blinking is the client. When server you should broadcast the event.

Look in some other mod luas for doing this.
