if (this.something1 in player.chat) {}

[Switch]

This is something I'd like to know for vulgar language kind of stuff.

If I were to do the below script and if someone said "You fuken stupid a$$!" would the player chatting say "Don't be mean"?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() this.vulgar = { "a$$","b1tch","fuk" };
function onPlayerChats() {
 if (this.vulgar in player.chat) {
  player.chat = "Don't be mean";
 }
} 


If not, how could I make it do so?

Note: I had to evade the curse filter for people to see this correctly, sorry.

function onCreated() this.vulgar = { "a$$","b1tch","fuk" };
function onPlayerChats() {
  for (temp.word: this.vulgar) {
    if (player.chat.contains(temp.word))
      player.chat = "Don't be mean.";
  }
}

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  this.vulgar = { "a$$","b1tch","fuk" };

function onPlayerChats() {
 if (this.vulgar in player.chat.tokenize()) {
  player.chat = "Don't be mean";
 }
} 


You could probably do that.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()
{
  this.badwords = {"one", "two", "three"};
}

function onPlayerChats()
{
  for (temp.word: player.chat.tokenize())
  {
    if (temp.word in this.badwords)
    {
      player.chat = "bzzt";
    }
  }
} 


... to do it using tokens of the player's chat text.

people. you do know that it only finds an individual string in an array right? you can't do array in array...

[Novo]

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChat()
{
  player.chat = "";
} 


This'll prevent any vulgar words in any language from being said.

What's the : for and what's it mean, so I can use it later? Also, what's a ? used for in some scripts after the name of a string or something... offtopic on that bu wanted to know xD

NPC Code:

---

for (needle: haystack) {

  // "needle" now points to the address of a value in "haystack"

  statements;

}

Known as a for-each statement.

NPC Code:

condition?true-case:false-case

Known as the tertiary operator.

Explain more?

[coreys]

PHP Code:

if (this.bla = "lol") {
  this.wow = "ohmy";
}
else {
  this.wow = "egad";
} 


Becomes...

PHP Code:

this.wow = this.bla=="lol"?"ohmy":"egad"; 


[Switch]

I Saids Explain

[Tolnaftate2004]

It evaluates a condition and depending on whether it is true or false, it will execute the true-case or the false-case.

I say 'execute', but in practice, using this as flow-control is bad.

[Switch]

That's basically "if () { } else {}"

An if statement is certainly less useful in situations such as:

PHP Code:

echo(temp.amount @ " apple" @ ((temp.amount != 1)?"s":""); 


[Switch]

So explain, what does the ? do EXACTLY, what does the : do EXACTLY?

[Tolnaftate2004]

? separates the condition from two statements that could be made:
condition?statements;

statement1:statement2


All they do is tell the computer where one piece ends and another starts. Both the ? and the : need to be present for the operator to function correctly.

They can also be nested:
a?b?c:d:e is "translated" into a?(b?c:d):e
You will always have # statements = # conditions + 1.

Before the ? you put a condition. If that condition is true, the code between the ? and the : is executed*. If it's not true, then the code after the : is executed.

*It would be more accurate to say that the code/content either before or after the : replaces the entire statement, but the way it's phrased above makes it easier to understand.

That explains how to use them, thanks

But sometimes I see someone's script and it doesnt have a ? in it, so clearly you don't ALWAYS have to use a ?. What are examples like that and what happens in them?

lol the swear filter i have makes you say funny stuff and logs you. like i said oh sh!t, and it made me say, "i eat tampons"

Are you talking about when there's a for loop with two "variables" seperated by a colon? Like "for (this.var : this.array)"

In this case, you have to put an array on the right side of the colon. The for loop is then executed a number of times equal to the length of the array, and this.var is set to the corresponding value in the array each time.

So if this.array = {8, 20, 1, 6}, then the loop will be executed 4 times, and this.var will be set to 8 the first time, 20 the second time, 1 the third time and 6 the fourth time.

Of course, this.var can be any type of variable (you could just name it "i" as is standard in for loops), it doesn't have to be a this. variable.

[Switch]

That helpd a bunch, thanks

[zokemon]

The colon in a for loop and the colon in a conditional assignment are completely different.

[Switch]

I know, Googi said that. I asked how they were different.
