Coding issue

And not everyone has the name %1 so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make

If you type %1 in blockland in the chat, welcome message, etc. it will show the players name.

It maybe my fault...I dunno...

that only works in a few cases, and for the viewer's own name
for scripting you should use client.name

[Quinn Mallory]

Could I use it without changing the datablock like:

Code: [Select]

ServerCmdMessageSent(FindClientByName("%client.name"), <bitmap:Add-Ons/Client_Smiley_System/Smileys/cool.png>

Your code isn't going to work.
Can you better explain what you want to do?

I'm trying to make it where when someone says :) it gives the smiley instead...

function ServerCmdMessageSent(%cl, %msg){
%msg = stripMLControlChars(%msg);
%msg = strReplace(%msg, ":)", "<bitmap:Add-Ons/Script_Smiley_System/Smileys/cool.png>");
messageAll(' ', "<color:666666>" @ %cl.clanPrefix @ "<color:FFFF00>" @ %cl.name @ "<color:666666>" @ %cl.clanSuffix @ "<color:FFFFFF>" @ ": " @ %msg);
}

Good job breaking spam filtering and using messageAll instead of client::chatmessage

[elm]

Instead of overwriting the function and breaking things, you'd want to package it, parse through the string message and add the bitmap that way.

packaging it will filter out the image tags, you'll need to basically remake the function without that one line of code

What is stopping you from putting it back in after it was removed

You should learn a bit more TS before trying to help others.

serverCmdMessageSent uses stripMLControlChars on the message before it sends it. if you package it and use parent::serverCmdMessageSent(%cl, %msg);, it will filter out the image tags and send it before it runs the rest of the code in the package.

So, use his/her code?

Code: [Select]

function ServerCmdMessageSent(%cl, %msg){
%msg = stripMLControlChars(%msg);
%msg = strReplace(%msg, ":)", "<bitmap:Add-Ons/Script_Smiley_System/Smileys/cool.png>");
messageAll(' ', "<color:666666>" @ %cl.clanPrefix @ "<color:FFFF00>" @ %cl.name @ "<color:666666>" @ %cl.clanSuffix @ "<color:FFFFFF>" @ ": " @ %msg);
}

no, I could make it better
