logs

[Duwul]

Can somebody tell me ALL of the current log commands?

I know of these:

NPC Code:

---

savelog text;

savelog2 filename,text;

---

Thanks

[ForgottenLegacy]

That's all of them, besides

NPC Code:

---

sendrpgmessage message;

---

That's the command used on Graal Kingdoms for the RPG Message.

Can anyone make use of the rpg window?

Sure I can, easily. Here is a chat system, allthough basic. I submit it to the forums, anyone can use it.

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by TGC

// NPC Weapon, weaponname: TGC Chat System.

if (actionserverside) {

  for (a=0;a<allplayerscount;a++) {

    with (allplayers[a]) {

      if (strequals(#s(client.chatsystem),on)) sendrpgmessage #p(0);

    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  if (strlen(#s(client.chatsystem))==0) setstring client.chatsystem,off;

  if (strequals(#s(client.chatsystem),off)) {

    setstring client.chatsystem,on;

    setplayerprop #c,Chat Enabled, say /chat <message> to send a message;

  } else {

    setstring client.chatsystem,off;

    setplayerprop #c,Chat disabled;

  }

}

if (playerchats) {

  tokenize #c;

  if (strequals(#s(client.chatsystem),on)) {

    if (strequals(#t(0),/chat)) {

      triggeraction 0,0,serverside,TGC Chat System,"#n: #e(6,-1,#c)";

      setplayerprop #c,Message Sent;

    }

  }

}

Fire the weapon to enable/disable it. Say "/chat <message>" to send a message. Press F2 to view the RPG Window. :-)

[MrGannondorf]

ah, intresting.

say, is there a flag for when an rc logs on to the server?

I think it would be best used for sending longer messages.
Such as paragraphs, info, help, stories.

Nope, least not in the current engine. Possobly in the new engine. I check in a timeout loop to see how many rcs are on and who they are. If a new one comes on, then a message is sent to the new RC, greeting it.

[MrGannondorf]

Intresting. How did you check to see if it was an rc?

[ForgottenLegacy]

Check if the strlen of the level, #F, is 0.

if (strlen(#F)==0)

Note for Lunpa - #F is valid only within a with() statement.

[MrGannondorf]

Awsome! Thanks alot, guys

You're sure? I thought the only prerequisite was that an active player is set.

I wasn't specific enough; I'm at fault.

Revised statement: An active player has to be set within a with() statement for #F to be valid.

[Kaimetsu]

Of course, there are other ways for active players to be set :-p

List some...?

[Kaimetsu]

Well, my message was kinda misleading. I mean that there are other circumstances in which an active player is set, such as when a player-specific event has occured. Otherwise we'd all be fumbling with ProjectShifter-esque 'with(#a)'s

Ah, I understand what you mean. ^_^

(Gasp! I was indeed suffering from a misconception. I blame the original explanation of #F I was fed. The way it works makes sense, though; I should have picked up on it earlier. o.O)

[MrGannondorf]

I got it somewhat working. This...

NPC Code:

---

if (actionplayeronline) {

//stuff

  for(i=0; i<allplayerscount; i++) {

    with(allplayers[i]) if (strlen(#F)=0) setplayerprop #3,head122.png;

  }

//more stuff

}

---

...is what I have so far. Works nice, with the exeption that RCs don't seem to trigger actionplayeronline... so it ends up that the rc will have the default head when the log on untill a player logs on. Any ideas?

I was thinking of having it check for when the rc chat says "New RC: blah blah blah", but I've been having trouble getting the (rcchat) flag to work.

I do believe that if (rcchat) only calls when /npc is used.

Ugh! Unnecessarily laggy, improper way to compare values, and bad formatting.

Keep a list of currently logged in RCs. Loop through every so often and update the list. If there are new RCs, set their head using allplayers.

Riot is correct about rcchat - it only works when you type /npc(command name).

o.o free critique!


Isn't there a better way then looping through every so often?

Currently, no. There've been quite a few requests for actionrconline, as it'd be really nifty. Of course, like all really nifty suggestions, it's got its disadvantages too: It could easily be exploited to do malicious things. It'd probably go through, though.

Whoever uses this is stupid - you have to close, reopen, close, reopen RPG window all the time if you want to be up-to-date with the chat :|

...Or you could just leave the RPG Window open?

actionplayeronline has the same disadvantages, if not more, and it got through.

then don't use it for chat. I just use it for semi-important things, such as to help test a script (if it doesn't say something, then I know where it went wrong)...

if you use it for something like 2k2 does, I supose you could also do what they do, and inform the player when something is updated.

No (to the 'if not more')? Example: exploits used to crash a player on login are obviously less bad than exploits used to crash an RC on login.
