Silent transmitdatablocks();

[Alphadin]

Is there anyway to submit a silent transmitdatablocks();?

I remember some code was being tossed around and I saved something that might do the trick on my hard drive but I can't find it.

There's no point in doing it silently.

[Crøwn]

I think all transmitDatablocks() does is loop through all the clients and does %client.transmitDataBlocks("1"); on them. So yeah I guess you can do it silently.

[Greek2me]

Why are you trying to re-send datablocks?

[Dannu]

Couldn't you just package the function?
Wait nvm. My brain returned to active duty.

this is the correct answer

[Lugnut]

or package messageAll or something to prevent it from saying whatever exact message transmit datablocks sends

[Dannu]

Code: [Select]

      Entering MessageAll(
88, Transmitting Datablocks...)
         Entering messageClient(13966,
88, Transmitting Datablocks..., , , , , , , , , , , , , )
         Leaving messageClient() - return
      Leaving MessageAll() - return
   Leaving transmitDataBlocks() - return
I'll try to do something.

But crown already posted the solution, there is no need for an inefficient package


function silentTransmitDatablocks()
{
    %count = clientGroup.getCount();

    for(%i = 0; %i < %count; %i++)
    {
        clientGroup.getObject(%i).transmitDatablocks(1);
    }
}

A whole other function sounds tedious.

Code: [Select]

package NoTransmitDatablocksMessage
{
function MessageAll(%msgType, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10, %a11, %a12, %a13)
{
if(%msgString $= "Transmitting Datablocks...")
return;

// talk(%msgtype SPC "%msgtype");
// talk(%msgstring SPC "%msgstring");
// talk(%a1 SPC "%a1");
// talk(%a2 SPC "%a2");
// talk(%a3 SPC "%a3");
// talk(%a4 SPC "%a4");

// Debug

parent::MessageAll(%msgType, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10, %a11, %a12, %a13);
}
};
activatepackage(NoTransmitDatablocksMessage);

This package makes messageclient crash. What is wrong with it?

[portify]

Generally you should never attempt to modify messageAll (not to mention that you have the wrong number of args). There is pretty much always a better option.
An extra 5 line function is infinitely better than a new package which attempts to modify the behavior of messageAll to globally filter out messages based on text.

[Dannu]

Okay, I won't then, but still, what should be modified? For the sake of learning.

[Greek2me]

Please don't package messageAll. Use Crown's solution.

[Greek2me]

Nothing should be modified. Just create a function like Crown's suggestion.
