getguildnick(guild, account)

Chandler · #1 03-25-2007, 02:36 PM

So, does this feature work? I think not.
Working on a basic tag feature, can anyone see why?

HTML Code:

function onPlayerChats()
  {
  if (this.guildowner.index(player.account) == -1) 
    return false;
  temp.playerChat = player.chat.tokenize();
  temp.playerOption = temp.playerChat[0];
  temp.playerParams = player.chat.substring((temp.playerOption.length() + 1)).tokenize();
  switch(temp.playerOption.substring(1))
    {
    case "add":
      this.chat = getguildnick("FAQ", player.account);
      if (getguildnick("FAQ", temp.playerParams[0]) == "") 
        {
        temp.playerAccount = findPlayer(temp.playerParams[0]);
        if (temp.playerAccount.account)
          {
          addguildmember("FAQ", temp.playerParams[0], temp.playerParams[1]);
          this.doMessage({{player.account, format(_("You've added %s [%s]!"), temp.playerParams[0], temp.playerParams[1])},
                          {temp.playerAccount.account, format(_("You've been added to the FAQ Team!\n%s (FAQ)"), temp.playerParams[1])}
                         });
          }
         else
          {
          this.doMessage({{player.account, format(_("%s Isn't online!"),temp.playerParams[0])}});
          } 
        }
       else
        {
        this.doMessage({{player.account, format(_("%s already has a tag! [%s]"), temp.playerParams[0], getguildnick("FAQ", temp.playerParams[0]))}});
        }
    break;
    case "remove":
      if (getguildnick("FAQ", temp.playerParams[0])) 
        {  
          removeguildmember("FAQ", temp.playerParams[0]);
          this.doMessage({{player.account, format(_("You've removed %s!"), temp.playerParams[0])},
                          {temp.playerParams[0], "You've been removed from the FAQ Team!"}
                         });    
        }
       else
        {
        this.doMessage({{player.account, format(_("%s Isn't in the FAQ Team!"),temp.playerParams[0])}});
        }
    break;  
    }
  }
function doMessage(messageData)
  for (temp.currentMessage: temp.messageData)
    findPlayer(temp.currentMessage[0]).sendpm(temp.currentMessage[1]);

Maybe you would like to explain why the code is not working and what behaviour you are expecting. :|

Chandler · #3 03-25-2007, 03:55 PM

right.

PHP Code:


			
getguildnick(guild, account)

Does this work? [Answer being yes or no of cause]
If answer is to be yes, what am I doing wrong.

Yes, but it has to be called from serverside. Clientside doesn't work.

The code that I posted isn't clientside, rofl

I didn't know that the PlayerChats event was called serverside...?

I should make it clear, it's for a class.

How does this change the fact that onPlayerChats() is not called on the serverside? Which is obviously the initial function of your script.

godofwarares · #9 03-25-2007, 06:06 PM

You don't call onPlayerChats() on serverside ...

Chandler · #10 03-25-2007, 06:12 PM

ok... explain why not? Also explain how it works for that matter. Thank you.

When the player chats, its triggered clientside, not serverside. You can't receive triggers serverside if they are triggered clientside.

Use a triggerServer();.

Chandler · #12 03-25-2007, 06:20 PM

You're making no sense. You are aware of what a class is right?

Inverness · #13 03-25-2007, 06:33 PM

And you're aware of the fact that classes also have a clientside and serverside right?

If the object is in a level and you want to send info to the serverside, then you can set a shape to the object on both sides and trigger an action on the object with the parameters you need, the action will be called on serverside & clientside as a result.

Rapidwolve · #14 03-25-2007, 06:42 PM

I know of format() but not of format(_()) whats that do?

Chandler · #15 03-25-2007, 06:45 PM

Lets move along from the calling of the function. Is anyone else having any problems with

PHP Code:


			
getguildnick(guild, account)

Thank you...

Just more organized.

PHP Code:


			
format(_("%s hiya"), player.account)

No duh. You're not listening to what i'm saying:

PHP Code:


			
function onPlayerChats() // WON'T work



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats() // WILL work

Simple as that.

P.S:

PHP Code:


			
triggerServer("class", "classname", "function", "params");

Angel_Light · #17 03-25-2007, 07:02 PM

I've used player.chat/onPlayerChats on Serverside and it worked fine, well it was a Tad slower but it still worked none the less

EDIT: Also I've never really heard of this function. What exactly are you trying to do? Add the guild tag to the player no matter what their nick is? Maybe something else?

rofl, you don't understand at all.

Yeah. I don't think either of them understand.
Thank you

Upon debugging with a friend, we found the error.
Thanks

Inverness · #19 03-25-2007, 07:13 PM

*shrug*
You need to be more specific next time.

Chandler · #20 03-25-2007, 07:14 PM

Yeah, I guess when people don't understand how a class or a level object work it can be rather difficult.

Newbs.

onPlayerChats() only doesn't work on serverside in a wNPC, if its in a local npc/class/DB it WILL work serverside.

And to answer your question Chandler, yes - your getguildname(guild, account) will (should) work, I've used it in the same way and it works.

That's where I got the idea from, hehe. I have a problem with adding myself though, but it works for everyone else. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Lol @ the "lol nub onPlayerChats can't be called serverside?!?!?!"

Perhaps you were thinking about ChatBar.onAction? That can't be read serverside

.

If you have onPlayerChats serverside in a weapon, everyone in that level can call that event - even if only one player has it.

I'm quite sure that it cant be called from a Weapon on serverside, atleast it couldn't in the past.

EDIT: I just tried it, it didn't work. I tried to make a wNPC with only a serversided onPlayerChats and I tried making one with some useless script on clientside and a onPlayerChats serverside. None worked.

Yeah...damn.. I thought of a time where i had a 'if (playerchats)' serverside on a N-pulse weapon (damn gs1) and i remember everyone getting affected by it when they spoke even though i was the only one who had it. I thought i used a weapon

What the hell are you guys talking about...onPlayerChats is a global function both serverside and clientside o_O

NOT in a Weapon. Never has been, never will be. Try it and see for yourself if you can not take us on our word.

For everything other then a Weapon, aye.

The only time I ever use onPlayerChats is for weapons so excuse me...

We're talking about onPlayerChats serversided in a weapon. That does NOT work.

Thats the point, I doesn't work for a weapon so I assumed it didn't work for anything else :P

I do have a vague recollection of maybe using it for an npc sometime though...

rofl, you were still wrong
