Help with SMS Menu

xXMADEXx · January 26, 2013

Hey guys, how can i make this, so that it will not send a message, if there is no text in "ed_msg"? And, how can i make it so that when they send a message, it will outputChatBox("You sent an SMS to "..who, but instead of it showing the player's id, it will show there name?

xXMADEXx · January 27, 2013

Thanks, but it didn't work So i wrote the server side:

addEventHandler("rog:sms:send", 
    function (player) 
        outputChatBox ( "SMS From: ".. getPlayerName ( source) ..": ".. msg, player, 255, 255, 0 ) 
    end  
) 
addEvent("rog:sms:send",true)

and its saying, something is wrong with the even handler.

manve1 · January 27, 2013

addEventHandler("rog:sms:send", root, 
    function (player, msg) 
        outputChatBox ( "SMS From: ".. getPlayerName ( source) ..": ".. msg, player, 255, 255, 0 ) 
    end 
) 
addEvent("rog:sms:send",true)

Copy the server side again, you had forgot to put 'root' at addEventHandler.

Mine works here.

hum... weird.

you forget the second argument in the server side

Castillo · January 27, 2013

Mine works here.

hum... weird.

You are obviously using manve's, since he forgot to define 'msg'.
