commands

[kevin11]

sorry for post flooding this is my final question

/ban /kick etc

how do i change it to !ban !kick

[dzek (varez)]

you cant just change that one letter, to be recognized as commands..

you have to use "onPlayerChat" event, then check if his/her msg starts with "!" and after theres command you want to handle, then handle it.. (and cancell onPlayerChat event)

you will have to rewrite all addCommandHandler from all scripts..

for my opinion -> this is stupid.

[kevin11]

yes it is...

[Aibo]

it is really stupid, i'm still wondering why people like old mIRC script commands

anyway, you need only something like this:

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), 
function (text)
if string.sub(text, 1, 1) == "!" then
cancelEvent()
local command = string.gsub(gettok(text, 1, 32), "!", "")
local args = string.gsub(text, "!"..command, "")
--outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source)..": "..text, getRootElement())
executeCommandHandler(command, source, args)
end
end
)

if you want to display the command typed, uncomment the outputChatBox line.

Access denied @ 'executeCommandHandler' - Line: 8

? i added it in admin (acl) and still nothing

The server must be restarted for ACL to be updated.

[kevin11]

i restarted and checked everything but didnt work

[dzek (varez)]

first of all, you must STOP the server, then modify ACL, then start server..

ok this is what i did

stop server /shutdown in game

modified the acl

then i open the server and it shows the error

Is your resource called exactly "commands!", or is the ! a typo?

[robhol]

Having non-standard characters in resource names probably isn't a good idea anyways. Keep to alphanumerical and underscore (_), it should be enough and is definitely safe.

[kevin11]

nope sorry its commands not commands!

[Callum]

Then that's the problem in your ACL

[kevin11]

can someone call me a retard please

i didnt add commands resource in resources lol im sorry for wasting your time

(its working)

[Callum]

thats stupid, just don't cancel event then, besides your output is not fully functional

cancelling is done for a reason, you know.

if event is not cancelled, command will be executed BEFORE chat output, since it's called from chat event.

so if the command called prints something to the chat, IT will look stupid.

and exactly what do you mean "not fully functional"?

[karlis]

you said if you want to still show the command just uncoment

---

it isnt functional because it dont have nametag colored, and output at chat is not prevented from hex and eg. \n

[Aibo]

well then improve it, i never said it is perfect or anything. i said "something like".

[karlis]

i think this is completley fucntional, correct me if im wrong

outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source)..": #FFFFFF".."%q":format(text:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x","")),getRootElement(),240,30,150,true)
