Another Question From Me: Server Triggers

[bigbigger9]

What kind of server triggers are there?

Edit: Like, onclientkill or something?

(Note: The reason I'm asking all these server questions, is because this is my first time doing some server scripting)

[UnderGod]

What kind of triggers?

There are too many to list.

Think about it like this.. There is a trigger for every alteration in the game / gameplay.

[bigbigger9]

heh, well, like the client connected to the server, the client killing someone, the client being killed, but I'd like to focus on the client being connected or along that line.

Server::onClientConnect(%clientId)

if you are using base mod, that function is in server.cs.  if you are using TRPG, that function is in connectivity.cs.

[bigbigger9]

Thanks.  :wink:

[Dragoon]

function Server::onClientConnect(%clientId)
{
   if(!String::NCompare(Client::getTransportAddress(%clientId), "LOOPBACK", )
   {
      %clientId.isAdmin = true;
      %clientId.isSuperAdmin = true;
   }

   echo("- Connect -");
   echo((%NM=Client::getName(%clientId)) @ ", " @ (%IP=Client::getTransportAddress(%clientId)));
   echo("- - - - - -");

   Client::LogIP(%NM, %IP);

   %clientId.noghost = true;
   %clientId.messageFilter = -1;
   remoteEval(%clientId, SVInfo, version(), $Server::Hostname, $modList, $Server::Info, $ItemFavoritesKey);
   remoteEval(%clientId, MODInfo, $MODInfo);
   remoteEval(%clientId, FileURL, $Server::FileURL);

   for(%i = 0; %i < 10; %i++)
      $Client::info[%clientId, %i] = "";

   Game::onPlayerConnected(%clientId);
}

function Client::LogIP(%NM, %IP)
{
   $Connect = %NM @ " [" @ %IP @ "]";

   export("$Connect", "temp\\IPLog.txt");
   deleteVariables("$Connect");
}

[bigbigger9]

So just add to the function?

[Dragoon]

you can do whatever the hell you want big.  nothing is hardcoded to tribes...  you can change almost everything through the code.  if you wanted, you could even do:

function Server::onClientConnect(%clientId)
{
DoConnectStuff(%clientId);
LoadPlayerSettings(%clientId);
FinalizePlayer(%clientId);
}

and make those 3 functions do whatever you want, everything can be changed, but with your level of coding, i wouldn't recommend too much of the complete re-writes, they can get very complex very fast.

[bigbigger9]

heh, yea. I've only done client scripting, and I'm not modding the game, I'm just adding some stuff, you'll see soon enough what this is all for, but I doubt you'll care, since most people here don't play CTF for Tribes 1. I'll be sure to be give credit to you guys for helping me out so much.

[Dragoon]

actually, some of us will care, the others won't.  me personally... i won't give a damn as i have done so much with tribes that some noob scripters stuff doesn't really impress me, nothing personal...

[bigbigger9]

Why isn't schedule(); working in comchat.cs?

schedule("net::kick(%clientId, \"Bye.\");",5);

It works in console, just not in the comchat.cs

[UnderGod]

Is %clientID defined?

[bigbigger9]

Yes.

Edit: I'll try something real quick and make positive.

[UnderGod]

schedule("net::kick(%clientId, "Bye");",5);

Try it like this for kicks and giggles.

[bigbigger9]

schedule("net::kick(%clientId, "Bye");",5);

Try it like this for kicks and giggles.

I'm already kicking and giggling, but hey, why not? I'm bored.

Later: Ah, didn't even bother trying this, but I made some variables global and it worked... I have no idea why making them global worked, but hey, I don't care, as long as it worked.
