 server message script help 

[Gamefandan]

Ok I have only one question right now:

How do I make a script that reacts to a user chating without using the server command script group?

EX Gamefandan: Gamefandanbot how are you?
Gamefandanbot: Fine and you?

Help would be appriciated thanks.

Look in other scripts, you are bound to find something. Don't be so lazy.

[Gamefandan]

I tried and I couldn't find anything, I'm still looking though.

[laremere]

1.In the console type: trace(1);
2.Close the console and say something in chat.
3.Type trace(0); in the console to stop trace.
4.Find the function your looking for and figure out the attributes.
5.Package and make sure to call the parent.

If you don't understand this, you need to look at basic scripts and try to figure out how they work, and mess around with them to get an understanding of how coding works.

[Gamefandan]

I think I understand but what does trace(1); do? Good Lord! no thnx idk wtf I'm supposed to be looking for.

[laremere]

Open blockland, do what I told you, then close blockland, and go into the console.log file, and copy everything that was echo'd during the trace, and I'll help you through it a bit, though I'm not going to help you with everything, since you need to learn on your own and be able to code without going strait to the help section every time you don't know something needed for your code.

Also, I'm assuming you want to be client sided, you'll want to look at some other stuff it your going for server sided.

[Gamefandan]

so do i just copy and paste that or what?

[laremere]

No, that is a visual representation of what is going on in the code as far as functions being called.

If you look here: Entering clientCmdChatMessage(8026, , ,
133 [N]GamefandanTRPA: hello, [N], Gamefandan, TRPA, hello)

We see what function we need to use, but in order to use this function, we need to put it into a package.  You can find a tutorial on packaging functions here: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=21811.0 
I think you are smart enough to figure out exactly what attribute of clientCmdChatMessage does what.

[Gamefandan]

Code: [Select]

Package newpackage
{
Function clientCmdChatMessagehi(%client)
{
Parent::messageall('','hey there');
}
};
Activatepackage(newpackage);
Like that?

[laremere]

No.


Are you wanting server sided code or client sided?

[Gamefandan]

I want it client sided yeah.

[Gamefandan]

Anyone?
