Hey, none of you seem to inclined to help me get a GetWord(); thing working so i was wondering if anyone knew of a site or something that can help??. Unless someone out there IS willing to help me?. Thank you.

This is the first I've heard about it.  Give us some details.

[-eViL-]

yea, seriously, I haven't heard a thing about it and i'll help with it...

OK sorry bout that, well start anew. Heh. Well all i want is to be able to use the getword(); thingy top grab a name from something that my bot sais or i say through a quest script. That will allow me to use that name for mutiple events. If its possible to make someones name carry through multiple blocks i'd like to know until than i'd like to know about the getowrd thing anyways.

I've done some fooling arround with it and i havn't gotten anywhere. All i can do is grab words from doing a getwordfunc(%word) where i grab whatever word in the sentence i type in that. But i couldn't get words from strings that ppl say in the chat box. I tried making a variable = the first word in the sentance and that didn't work:\ i looked at lots examples like in comchat.cs and i tried to make a connection where thier string::NEWgetsubstr(); thing might have been the thing i'd use to grab strings and look for the first word. Tried that, didn't work.

Pretty much i'm stuck. Id post some code where i did some examples but i'm at school. Sorry for takinga  while to answer, heh i check my mail once a week and like i forgot about this post ^_^ Thanx for the offer to help I hope i can get this working.

Code: [Select]

function onClientMessage(%client, %msg)
{
for(%word=0; %word <= 5; %word++)
%Word[%word] = getWord(%msg, %word);

return true;
}


that would set %Word[0] through %Word[5] using the first words from a message sent to you.

WOW.... Ok so lets say i want to get a name from a global message like....
[GLBL] Bot "Well done Ian, nice work"
so to grab ian would i use getword(%msg, 4); cause the [GLBL] is 0, bot is 1, "well is 2, done 3, ian 4, nice 5, work 6,.... well with your %word setting the word from 1 to 5 what did you mean?

[-eViL-]

that function... everytime you get a message, it will sort the message out into parts... the first 6 parts....

%Word[0] = getWord(%msg, 0);
%Word[1] = getWord(%msg, 1);
%Word[2] = getWord(%msg, 2);
%Word[3] = getWord(%msg, 3);
%Word[4] = getWord(%msg, 4);
%Word[5] = getWord(%msg, 5);

that loop i put in there basically does that... so it divides the sentence up for you..

[DeathAdder]

Assuming that does that for EVERY thing that comes up in the chat box i'd just start counting and doing if(%word[3] == "Bot") lets say checking for the name and than after that go into the %word[5] = %name; for the specific name i want and than i can start using %name for other things as long as the message its grabbing is from that specific scentence. I could always do 2 ifs to ensure that the sentence i want is the one it gets the name from. i can organize it. I hope i'm assuming right :\

Also if i wanted to make messages not appear like loadout defined and demon already exists, *plain white messages* how would i do it. Like if (this message appears) echo blah *so it only sppears in consol not chat box* return true; something like that, i dunno. Any ideas?

Code: [Select]

function onClientMessage(%client, %msg)
{
for(%word=0; %word <= 5; %word++)
%Break[%word] = getWord(%msg, %word);

%Name = %Break[1];

if(String::findSubStr(%msg, "Loadout already defined.") != -1)
{
echo("Loadout Already Defined.");
return false;

// returning false makes it not show up in chat.
}

return true;
}

Hey, Thanx so much you really hellped, I can do what i need now. Only one thing i'm not sure if you know how or if its possible but I'm sure you can actually get letters with in words.. like how # is grabbed in comchat.cs and that so i used your for(%word blah) to do a %sylible where %letter[%sylible] = String::getSubStr(%msg, %Break[3], %Letter[3]) all that, had no errors only didn't work.. I have some more testing to do but if you know how that might be faster. Thanx again for all the help.

Code: [Select]

%Start = 0;  %Finish = 1;
%Letter = String::getSubStr(%Break[%Choice], %Start, %Finish);

oh yeah how do i fix deuspack on the part where it says im not running
-mod rpg

run it -mod rpg

The easiest thing for you is to have tribes installed twice.. One for base, One for TRPG.
