cool summon

[[email protected]]

summons people if you spell their name wrong!!!

account/nickname:- Sidney/feltcher, Darlene/snowblower, PFA/starfish

[/summon] Sid, felt - Summons Sidney
Dar, snow - Summons Darlene
PFA, star - Summons PFA

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside(temp.command, temp.account) {
    if (command == "summon") findPlayer(account).setlevel2(player.level.name, player.x, player.y);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
    if (player.chat.starts("/summon")) {
        temp.chat = player.chat.substring(7).trim();
        for (temp.i: allplayers) 
            if (i.account.starts(chat) || i.nick.starts(chat)) {
                i = i.account;
                break;
            }
        }
    
        triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "summon", i);
    }
}

You might consider using something like this that was posted by me. There is a whole thread about this in the code gallery, called 'Function findName()'.

PHP Code:

public function findName( i ) 
{ 
  this.look = { "account", "communityname", "nick", "id" }; 
   
  for ( temp.a : allplayers ) 
  { 
    for ( temp.n : this.look ) 
    { 
      if ( makevar( "temp.a." @ temp.n ) == i ) 
      { 
        return temp.a.account; 
      } 
    } 
  } 
   
  for ( temp.a : allplayers ) 
  { 
    for ( temp.n : this.look ) 
    { 
      if ( makevar( "temp.a." @ temp.n ).starts( i ) ) 
      { 
        return temp.a.account; 
      } 
    } 
  } 
   
  return false; 
} 


Which is basically a cleaner, reusable way of what you did.

And then please, use braces for each function so you do this:

PHP Code:

if ( true )
{
  banana();
} 


instead of this:

PHP Code:

if ( true ) banana(); 


Makes it easier to read.

Actually, she was using a method for finding names that started with the parameter, yours check if it equals.

And Sidney, I would suggest using

PHP Code:

...
for(temp.i : players) {
  if (i.account.pos(chat) > -1 || i.nick.pos(chat) > -1  || i.communityname.pos(chat) > -1) {
    i = i.account;
    break;
  }
}
... 


or something like that, so if their nick/account/community contains the parameter, it will return their account, instead of just checking if their account/nick etc. starts with the parameter

You don't need them if there is a single line action after the if statement, it's all about personal preference.

And it isn't spelled 'braces', that something different

No, they are braces.

Braces: { }
Brackets: [ ]

And I am checking if there is an exact match first, THEN if there is starting, not just exact ...

Hmm, actually I found out they are all brackets, but braces is a different name for {}'s..

( ) round brackets or parentheses
[ ] square brackets or box brackets
{ } curly brackets or braces
< > angle brackets or chevrons

braces is kind of a synonym for brackets
And, from the wiki:

Dude, do you know how many loops there is in your script?
And you don't need 4 for loops to check obj.starts() and obj equals, could be done in 2 for loops, actually even in 1 for loop..

It was an example, I know it could be optimized better. It was just to show the type of thing you could do.

About the braces -- I've always heard {} were braces, () were parenthesis, and [] were brackets. Perhaps I've taken the wrong computer classes, or just not a large enough variety of them.

I call {} curly braces. It's sort of redundant, though, now that I look at it...

No, you're right. That's what they're ACTUALLY called.

Read the wikipedia It's actually a (curly) bracket but has an other name for it, which is brace.
