Commands

[hihohihohiho]

How would i create a command like so...

/hi

it would say "Hello"

how would that script look like???

and also where can i find the guide for scripting?

[Jumba']

I guess it'd be like

  
function sayHello ( ) 
              outputChatBox( "Hello", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255 ) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler( "hi", sayHello ) 
  

-edit-

btw, here you can find all the scripting functions with great examples on how to use them

I tried that and it comes out with an error:

[16:56:32] SCRIPT ERROR: ...dreas/server/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache/Commands 1.0/commands 1.0.lua:1: unexpected symbol near '{'

[16:56:32] INFO: Loading script failed: ...dreas/server/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache/Commands 1.0/commands 1.0.lua:1: unexpected symbol near '{'

Ehm what did you change on the script because here there is no } ...

??

LUA doesnt require to use { } only in certain situations. You are thinking of pawno.

I'd also point out that you don't need to be creating ZIP based resources. Just use a folder while testing and use zips for release.

[Quest]

Yeah, I prefer just to use folders with mine. Dunno why it works well.

[hihohihohiho]

ok i do the folder then, will the cmd work just in the folder then?!?!?

it should work either way, I dont see what the problem is = / .

So how come I can't start resource until I create zip file of the resource?!

I have got folder of my resource in resourcecache and I try to start resource, what I get back is:

[TIME] start: Resource could not be found

How can you explain that? Is there some setting in mtaserver.conf which is responsible for that? I guess no, so...?

resourcecache?! it's supposed to be in %\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources

There you put the folder, or zip file

this is the only stuff in that file?

[hihohihohiho]

well i had to make the meta.xml file and that says

[Quest]

Post your actual command here. You must have a { somewhere or something in front of it that doesn't make sense. The code Jumba posted will work fine. Do you mind posting it?

[hihohihohiho]

This is the exact command

function sayHello ( )

outputChatBox( "Hello", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255 )

end

addCommandHandler( "hi", sayHello )
