You'd have to search for "other" instances in the script to figure it out. If you happened to be looking at the script (don't worry, you won't), you might notice I'm in the habit of using similar variables throughout, mainly to reduce verbosity and make things easier to spot. Like using "e" for "event", or "i" for whatever "i" stands for ("idiot"?). I also use comments. Thus "oclient" makes it's first appearance under <div class="quotetext"><strong>Code:</strong> </div> <pre class="code"> // "OTHER" [more commenty stuff you don't need to know]</pre> (there's another variable "client" preceding that section in the script).<br /><br /> You could probably manage it, I concede that "others" might not.
