addWeapon

[Pelikano]

Hello,
I am currently learning GS2 and I tried to script something to mute a Player's chat, but it isn't working and I have no idea why, could you help me please ?

NPC Code:

---

function onActionServerSide() {

  if (params[0] == "MutePlayer")

    findPlayer(params[1]).addWeapon("Pelikano/MutePlayers2");

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats() {

  if (player.chat.starts(":mute"))

    this.accountname = player.chat.substring(6);

    triggerserver("gui",this.name, "MutePlayer", this.accountname);

}

---

And then:

NPC Code:

---

function onActionServerSide() {

  if (params[0] == "Mute")

    params[1] = "";

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats() {

  triggerserver("gui",this.name,"Mute",player.chat);

}

---

On the mute weapon, you don't need to do anything serverside... simply:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  player.chat = "";
}

Hm..
If I don't do anything serverside on the MuteWeapon isn't the chat of the Player muted for himself only o_O?

Shouldn't be. The chat on the serverside is reflective of the chat on the clientside. Stop the chat on the clientside and it never makes it to the serverside.

Thanks

Better to do this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function ChatBar.onAction()
{
  ChatBar.text = "";
} 


Then the text won't display at all, like it would if using PlayerChats.

[Pelikano]

Awesome.
Thank you

Ya, I was going to post that, but it would also stop commands like sethead, setbody... so on and so forth.

Though of course that can easily be remedied as well.

Sure, by adding checks for all commands... but at what benefit?

That's exactly what I wanted to happen in the first place :P
