New server feature - Event command scripts

[morbydvisns]

thats cool im not going anywhere Xd

[Malkiah]

This is uber coolness, I think the best addition to the server ever.

[VDZ]

Not for three months? o.O

[Theros_12]

So do all the codes people have posted work or do only the ones mit posted work?

[VDZ]

The stuff Mit has confirmed will work.
As for the unconfirmed stuff, we don't know yet.

[VDZ]

NewBuilding works perfectly fine.
Same thing with UseItem.

*msg works as planned, but has one small problem: it does not show the user what he just typed, or even confirm that the command was used correctly.

Buildingpurchase just doesn't seem to work to me.

You can make comments without any prefix; however, in lines with command requiring arguments, the comments are used as arguments. This can be solved by putting // in front of your comments.

MonthDate, GameDate and Listen don't work. I haven't tried the others, but we can safely assume they weren't suddenly implemented without announcement.

You can try to use invalid events; the server program will just give an error in the log, then skip the invalid event.

The Usable Items are named "Usable Item 1", "Usable Item 2", etc, until "Usable Item 32", and they work exactly like they should.

The script is very flexible. Identation and case sensitivity don't matter. For example, the following event works perfectly:

Code: Select all

Event(                   "uSeItEm",         "uSaBlE iTeM 1") {
*command=say It's alive! Alive!
OMG COMMENT }

However, *command=COMMANDNAME MUST be exactly like that; add even a single space, and it stops working.

Sorry for posting four times in a row, but a summary of how event scripts work and stuff like that can be found at http://editthis.info/universalwiki/Event_command_script.

i feel ive struck a nerve here, vdz ;] Glad you seem to be enjoyin it and it seems to be working to the level i expected. Will try to get a few more of the events done soon.

Uh...is that a good thing or a bad thing? (I'm not English )
Anyways, yeah, I'm pretty interested in this stuff.
The real awesomeness comes when conditional operations are added, though.

[zaroba]

what about the ability to put the buildings name into the message?
maybe a %BUILDINGNAME% entry?

assuming that building number 13 is a town (it is on zoric and sab):

Code: Select all

Event( "NewBuilding", "13" ) 
{ 
*command=say %PLAYER% has established the town of %BUILDINGNAME% 
} 

[zaroba]

hmm..heres an odd one.

i'm a sysop on the world..scripts with granting aren't working
an account with owner powers is on the world (zaroba_owner using the server pc), scripts still aren't working.

they were working fine until the owner account got disconnected a few days ago and i didn't put it back on.

[zaroba]

damn multiple running of scripts...

script says:

Event("UseItem", "Lambchop Meal")
{
*command=grantitem %PLAYER% 1 Salad
*command=grantitem %PLAYER% 1 Lamb Chops
*command=grantitem %PLAYER% 1 Cola
*command=grantitem %PLAYER% 1 Ice Cream
}


ingame it runs it 3 times...

You gained 1 Salad
You were just granted 1 Salad
You gained 1 Pork Chops
You were just granted 1 Pork Chops
You gained 2 Cola
You were just granted 2 Cola
You gained 1 Ice cream
You were just granted 1 Ice Cream
You gained 1 Salad
You were just granted 1 Salad
You gained 1 Pork Chops
You were just granted 1 Pork Chops
You gained 2 Cola
You were just granted 2 Cola
You gained 1 Ice cream
You were just granted 1 Ice Cream
You gained 1 Salad
You were just granted 1 Salad
You gained 1 Pork Chops
You were just granted 1 Pork Chops
You gained 1 Cola
You were just granted 1 Cola
You gained 1 Ice cream

i had this prob when i was putting them in the gamescript.mts file and each time i refresh it would add another layer of scripting for somehow... when started using the servergamescript and only weaps in gamescript, all was well

[Archlord]

so if I wanted a random player(s) house removed, money taken, Uterly humiluated I could use this 'event command' thingy to do it?

Would it take effect all at random or it a set time? Or both?

Nope. There's no randomness yet.

[Jayecifer]

There is no true random when it comes to programming. There is always a pattern.

[Archlord]

Patterns, that'll take a little bit of work But it'll do.

THX

Alright, have it your way: There is no way to produce a seemingly random result yet.
