Require a small code snippet.

[Fluff-is-back]

I need a bit of simple code that will do the following:
I say a word in chat such as blue, then the console will say a response such as: red

Ok, Thankies in advance.

Because giving the console a massive brain allowing it to respond to anything (seeing how you only gave an example) will only be in a small code snippet.

Look at other mods and sources for anything similar ("enter things in chat" comes in various mods with special commands, "console talk" can be found by searching) before coming here.

Post any code you've found and how you've attempted to modify it, don't just ask people to spoon-feed you the answers.

I found this in Ibans City RPG:

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text)
	{
		if(getSubStr(%text, 0, 1) $= "Blue")
			talk("Red");
      parent::serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text);
	}

Unfortunately I cannot get it to work.

getSubStr(%text, 0, 1) will return the first character of the text, so will return "B". Use a 4 instead of 1.

It needs to be in a package if it isn't already. Most mods use these now.

Ok here is my attempt:

Code: [Select]

package blue
{
	function serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text)
	{
		if(getSubStr(%text, 0, 4) $= "Blue")
			talk("Red");
      parent::serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text);
	}
};
activatePackage(blue);

[Space Guy]

Looks all right. Does it work in-game?

[Fluff-is-back]

No, I say blue and nothing happens in chat or in the console.

[Space Guy]

Run the game with only default mods and your thing enabled, say "blue" once into the chat, close it and post the console.log file in your Blockland folder here.

[rkynick]

Make sure you capitalize "Blue".

Or use a strlwr() on it.

Ok, here is log for executing; no problems

[Space Guy]

Replace your code with this and get the same log parts: (it should put a line in the console "Test" every time you say something and then "Respond" if it's "Blue")

Code: [Select]

package blue
{
	function serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text)
	{
		echo("Test - " @ getSubStr(%text, 0, 4));
		if(getSubStr(%text, 0, 4) $= "Blue")
		{
			echo("Respond");
			talk("Red");
		}
		parent::serverCmdmessageSent(%client, %text);
	}
};
activatePackage(blue);

[Fluff-is-back]

Still nothing

Wait, from your last console log it never seems to activate the package.

Blockland takes things in zip files to have a higher priority than ones in normal folders so make sure one isn't overwriting your server.cs file. You may also need to check that your computer is displaying file extensions right. (e.g. "server.cs" not "server.cs.txt" with the last part hidden)
