How to detect RC login

Hello. I'm not new to GS2, but I am new to now trying to take it seriously in creating my own things and not just know a few commands and loops and such.

I am currently trying to make a message (or announcement) to echo on RC when a players RC is logged on.

I am using the control NPC to do this, and am wondering if it is possible. Right now I can only get a message to be triggered when the players client logs in. So I have something like.....

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

   this.staff = { "Arch_Angel", "Omaster", "littlekinky" }

}



function onActionPlayerOnline()

{

   if( pl.account in this.staff )

   {

      echo( "Welcome back " @pl.account );

   }

}

Now this of course, is aimed to just send the message to RC when the players client logs in. Is there another function or something I can do that would recognize the RC instead?

Sorry if this is so simple, just trying to progress. Thanks ahead for any responses. Will rep accordingly.

Unless a function was added to handle it, I've been using a timeout loop. I.e:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

  // Clear array of detected RCs

  this.lastRCs = "";

  // Start Loop

  onTimeout();

}



function onTimeout() {

  // Declare an Empty Array for RCs

  temp.rcs = {};

  // Loop through All Players currently online

  for (temp.a: allplayers) {

    // Check if they're in a level

    // No level usually means they're an RC

    if (temp.a.level == NULL) {

      // Player's level was NULL

      // Player is actually an RC

      // Add Player to Array of RCs

      temp.rcs.add(temp.a);

    }

  }

  // Check if the amount of RCs is greater than the last amount of RCs online.

  if (temp.rcs.size() > this.lastRCs.size()) {

    // RCs have logged on.

    sendtorc("Staff Reminder! You're all special C:");

  }

  // Record the new array of RCs for the next timeout

  this.lastRCs = temp.rcs;

  // Continue Looping

  setTimer(0.5);

}

That's just a way I've doing it though.

Also instead of maintaining a 'this.staff' array you can just directly reference your server options.

temp.staff = serveroptions.staff.tokenize(",");

The tokenize(",") is just in case someone messes up the array formatting.

}

little complicated for me to fully understand how you coded everything, but thats a giant help. Thanks, appreciate it.!

rep++ if i can

I updated my post with the proper documentation for the script, so you should get a better idea of what's actually going on now.

Annoying that we can't get basic events like onRemotePlayerLogin and have to use timeouts for stuff like this.

Like Cubical was suggesting can't you just check to see if the level exists or not with onPlayerLogin(obj)?

Or am I missing something?

99% certain it's not called when RCs log in.

I'm 100% sure it's called when an RC logs out :p.

Edit: Yeah that is odd.

I've never had a reason to try it on login, I assumed that it would work on login because it works on logout.

There should be an easier way to do this without timeout.. I have a script currently that shows players who login on your screen like XBL and PSN do.. it uses a funciton when the player logs in.. this also shows rc's... have you tried
on PlayerLogin() I think is the command.. might be wrong its been a while. then do a check for null level..

    sendtorc("HEY! Listen!" SPC pl.account);

}

This is what im using, and when an RC log's in.. my screen is alerted IMEDIATLY.. also, upon logoff.. therefor it MUST Be possible without a timeout.. im dead serious.. load this weapon on testbed for proof.. "public/scriptless/public"

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerLogin( pl ) {
  for ( temp.npl : allplayers ) {
    if ( temp.npl.communityname != pl.communityname ) {
      with( findplayer(temp.npl) ) {
        if ( temp.npl.level != NULL )
          triggerclient("gui", this.name, "notify", pl.communityname, pl.head, "on");
      }
    }
  }
}

function onPlayerLogout( pl ) {
  for ( temp.npl : allplayers ) {
    with ( temp.npl ) {
    if ( temp.npl.level != NULL )
      findplayer(temp.npl).triggerclient("gui", this.name, "notify", pl.communityname, pl.head, "off");
    }
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionClientside() {
  if ( params[0] == "notify" ) {
    this.notify_account.add(params[1]);
    this.notify_icon.add(params[2]);
    this.notify_status.add(params[3]);
    noti();
  }
}

Looking at this script it looks like it would not show rc logins but it for some reason does.. o_o

And I know this for FACT because when I login my rc.. I get the error "you do not have admin rights" unless i use in-game rc.. and it will spam my notification system so bad i have to reconnect or sit thru a half hour of spam

I just tested it again with the script in a weapon and it did not work.

scriptless

07-11-2011 06:58 AM

I retested my script, conclusion!

(F6) Does NOT show work.

(Remote Control) This works with my method.

Not sure why there is a difference. But I can post a demo script if you would like?

*EDIT* Tested using Graal6

i'm not sure triggerclient would work on RC's... for the reason that any clientside actions doesn't work on RC's "players"...

I just tested the code on Testbed too and it doesn't work, at least not for the scenario this thread wanted to use it on.

"I am currently trying to make a message (or announcement) to echo on RC when a players RC is logged on."

I just tested your script and it didn't work either. Only onPlayerLogout worked not onPlayerLogin.

Therefore it's broken or not implemented.

onPlayerLogout really shouldn't be called either. I didn't realize it was—that's probably introduced a couple bugs in things I've made before. We need onRemotePlayerLogin and onRemotePlayerLogout.
