Help

How would I go about it so that if the player said something (eg. /help), the NPC Server sends a pre-set PM?

[Yen]

Check if the player says /help in a system weapon.
When it checks that they said /help, make it send a trigger to the serverside telling the NPC Server (or the system) to send the PM.

[Omini]

So in the system NPC -

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats) {

if (strequals(#c,/help)) {

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,"NPC-Control",help;

}

}

---

And System NPC -

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

if (strequals(#p(0),help)) {

sendpm Pre-defined PM;

}

}

---

EDIT: Replacing "NPC-Control" with the correct NPC name

Or,

NPC Code:

---

function onPlayerChats()

{

  if (player.chat == "/help") sendpm("All text here, HTML works!");

}

---

This is a serversided script.

The more I see GS2 scripting, the more I hate it.

Heh. Thanks for your help

I am not sure why - the new engine makes much more sense than the old one.

Same thing but in GS1 then:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats && strequals(#c,/help)) sendpm All text here, HTML works!;

---

GS1 sucks.

Why post for help in the gs2 forums then? =/

Moved thread to the correct forum.

I tried that first and it didn't work, so I asked for help.

True, but I just get confused with all that stuff. Heh. Wait till Stefan makes a new scripting language in the future and call it GS3 - then I'll get the hang of GS2 (because I seem to be getting the hang of GS1... heh... perhaps a little GS2, but I don't really know).

I posted it in the GS2 forum because my server is enabled for GS2, and I find that GS2 screws around with GS1 scripts sometimes.

[Raeiphon]

Alot of Developers still code in GS1, but I find GS2 to be far more efficent, and definately more fun to work with. It's also easier to read GS2 long, single lined statements, than GS2:

GS1 - if (playerchats && strequals(#c,/help)) sendpm All text here, HTML works!;
GS2 - if(player.chat=="/help") { sendpm("Blahstringblah"); }
