Scripts

The Client Script tab is designed to contain the action script that is run by the client when the update is launched. Generally this script will consist of actions to show client screens such as a welcome screen and a progress screen used to download the server configuration files using the Screen.Show action. If the download of the server configuration files is successful, the Server Script would be run using the TrueUpdate.RunScript action.

Generally this script should be written in such a way that it does not need updating after the client has been distributed.

Note: If the client script has been modified after being distributed, the TrueUpdate Client will need to update itself causing the update process to restart after the server configuration files have been downloaded.

The Client Script contains all of the features of the action editor, but is represented in a tabbed view rather than a window. All of its features can be accessed from either the right-click context menu, or from the Script or Edit program menus.
