Showing the PM window from a script

[godofwarares]

I've been trying to open a PM window from a script (similar to what Zodiac has), but i'm stumped - The only function I can find is showpm(object), but I don't know how to implement this.

Any ideas?

I think its something like:

PHP Code:

("-Playerlist").openPMWindow(); 


Not sure though

[godofwarares]

I found it.

PHP Code:

isMassMessage = false;
pl = findPlayer("godofwarares");

(@ "-Playerlist").openPmWindow({pl}, isMassMessage);

Unless I am confused.. here are the ways to check information / read pms etc.

PHP Code:

// Read PM
findPlayer("ACCOUNT").openexternalpm(bool);

// false -> open a blank pm window
// true ->  open a pm sent by a player defined by 'account'

// List of pms sent to F2 Window
for (temp.var : allplayers)
{
  if (!temp.var.pmswaiting()) continue;
  
  echo(format("%s -> %s", temp.var.account, (temp.var.isadmin ? "Admin" : temp.var.isguildpm() ? "Guild" : temp.var.ismasspm() ? "Mass" : "Regular")));
} 


Hopefully that could help in some way.

(@ "-Playerlist")..... can be changed into just "-Playerlist".function();

I do not see the benefit.

(@ "-Playerlist").function() makes it entirely clear that you are working with the -Playerlist object.

"-Playerlist".function() makes it look like you are performing a function on the string itself, which could be confusing to some people, especially if they have used other scripting languages where that syntax would mean you are always performing functions on the string.

I second that.

Also,
temp.i = findWeapon( "-Playerlist" );
temp.i.function();

findweapon and findnpc are worthless functions in an OO environment =/. I guess they could be used for self-documenting reasons but otherwise unneccessary.
