IRC Messages

[NeO_DUFFMAN]

Hello MTA'ers!

Since my problem is pretty straightforward, I'm hoping to get a quick and simple reply lol.

Anyway, my problem is with displaying messages on Irc! How can I do this ?

I desperately need a solution for this.

Explain your problem a bit further

Maybe this is what you seek: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource:Irc

I basically want to display certain script related messages on an irc channel. Initially, i had tried testing with outputIRC sadly i couldn't make it work.

Btw, sorry for being so unclear.

[blehmeh]

Did you install the sockets module first?

Did you install the irc resource? Did you add outputIRC to the resource?

[NeO_DUFFMAN]

Here's the thing, I'm a member of a server which already has an irc channel for MTA. One of our members who was in charge of managing and handling all the scripts had stepped down. So i'm not sure how our irc bot works. Anyway, I had been working on some new additions for the server. Some of these additions include messages that have to be broadcasted on our irc channel since they are admin-related messages.

Getting back to the problem, i think i will have to call these functions from my resource right ?

I've just attached a sample code! Tell me if i'm doing this right

  
  
addEventHandler ("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(), 
function(message,type) 
if (string.find(message,"@warnings")) and not (string.find(message," @warnings")) then 
    local W_Number = loadNumberData (source) 
    if (tonumber(W_Number) == 0) then 
       setTimer(outputChatBox,50,1," #E9F006" .. getPlayerName (source) .. " #06F0DDhas #E9F006zero #06F0DDwarnings!",getRootElement(),255,0,0,true) 
       call(getResourceFromName("irc"),"outputIRC",getPlayerName(source).." has zero warnings") 
  end 
  end 
end

Bump! I really need some guidance here

if (string.find(message,"@warnings")) and not (string.find(message," @warnings")) then 

This line doesn't make any sense, you're checking the string contains @warnings and if the string doesn't doesn't contain @warnings.

local W_Number = loadNumberData (source) 

Is loadNumberData function defined?

I guess you missed the "space" before "@warnings"

I have basically made an exception for "[space]@warnings"

Yes, loadNumberData is defined. Well, these aren't even my issues lol.
