A chatbot

[Thorfin25]

Does not seem to work for me

When using messageAll you don't define a target, as it messages everybody. So the %client is useless. It should be just messageAll('',"\c5MBot\c6:" SPC %args);

Thanks for the help! I have added you all to the credits.

Btw i prefer having it packaged so i can turn it off and on easily

For this you want to check the value of a global variable

function example()
{
   if(!$Pref::Server::EnableExample)
      return;
      
   echo("Hello"!);
}

How would i make the bot greet people who join the server?

Just change $Pref::Server::WelcomeMessage. Alternatively, you could package and parent GameConnection::autoAdminCheck() and take it from there.

Thanks for that. How would i make it say this message to the person that has just connected: This server is using Mbot V2

Dont do this for small add-ons, just huge add-ons (such as gamemodes), or some otherwise VERY iimportant information
When everyone does it, we get a ton of add-ons spamming your chat when you join with "THIS SERVER IS RUNNING THIS MOD" and nobody cares

[matthew]

Well thanks for the help! I do not need anymore help now. Locking

[Headcrab Zombie]

Don't lock coding help threads
Sometimes someone will want to add something else, notice a mistake in a provided solution, something like that, and they won't be able to if the thread is locked

package serverbot
{
  function servercmdmessagesent(%client, %text)
   {
      %help = stripos(%text, "help");
      %length = strlen("help");
      %var = %help + %length;
       if(getsubstr(%text, %help, %var) $= "help")
           {
               messageclient(%client,' ',"\c6 Server:" SPC "text goes here");
           }
       else
          {
                parent::servercmdmessagesent(%client, %text);
           }
   }
};
activatepackage(serverbot);


Didn't test, i think this should work.
If someone says help in chat, the ServerBot says text goes here.

[Headcrab Zombie]

     %help = stripos(%text, "help");
      %length = strlen("help");
      %var = %help + %length;
       if(getsubstr(%text, %help, %var) $= "help")

What the forget are you doing
Why would you ever use strlen on a string literal? The length of "help" is never going to change, it's always going to be 4
Why getsubstr? You already know "help" is at that location, because you found it with stripos
Replace those four lines with if(stripos(%text,"help") > -1). That's it, that's all you need
Of course this will trigger the chat bot (and therefore cancel their entire message, as the if block doesn't include the parent call) every time someone says "help" in their entire message, so you need to either if(%text $= "help") (preffered) or just add the parent call in with the if black
Also, if you read the thread, he said he wanted slash commands

[Thorfin25]

if(strstr(%text,"help") > -1)

Fixed

Uh, what? No, not really. strstr does basically the same thing as stripos except it's case-sensitive. If you want case-sensitivity, just use strpos.

[Thorfin25]

I thought stripos was the case sensitive one though?
