Global Trigger Weapons

Why?

I admit, it's rather simple but if you ever run into needing something like this then atleast you won't have to reinvent the wheel :P

Serverside Global Weapon Trigger

Methods:

void GlobalEvents.triggerAll( string eventName, array parameters[] );

This triggers an event on every weapon serverside. GlobalEvents should be replaced by your NPC name.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

  //IMPORTANT - ASSIGN THE PERCENTSIGN

  temp.percentSymbol = "percent";



  this.weapons = NULL;

  

  temp.charMap = {

                  {temp.percentSymbol @ "045", "-"},

                  {temp.percentSymbol @ "042", "*"},

                  {temp.percentSymbol @ "047", "/"},

                  {temp.percentSymbol @ "032", " "}

                 }; 

  

  temp.weaponsFolder.loadfolder("weapons/*.txt", 1);

  

  for (temp.weapon: temp.weaponsFolder) {

    temp.weapon = temp.weapon.substring( 6 );

    

    for ( temp.char: temp.charMap )

      temp.weapon = replacetext( temp.weapon, temp.char[0], temp.char[1] );

   

    this.weapons.add( temp.weapon.substring( 0, temp.weapon.length() - 4 ) );

  }

}



public function triggerAll( eventName, parameters ) {

  for ( temp.weapon: this.weapons ) {

    ( @ temp.weapon ).trigger( eventName, parameters[0], parameters[1], parameters[2], parameters[3], parameters[4], parameters[5], parameters[6], parameters[7], parameters[8], parameters[9] );

  }

}



//Thanks to Dusty

function replacetext(txt,a,b) {

  if (txt.pos(a)<0) return txt;

  temp.txtpos = txt.positions(a);

  temp.newtxt = txt.substring(0,txtpos[0]);

  for (temp.i=0;i<txtpos.size();i++) {

    newtxt @= b;

    newtxt @= txt.substring(txtpos[i]+a.length(),txt.substring(txtpos[i]+a.length()).pos(a));

  }

  return newtxt;

}

Clientside Global Weapon Trigger

Same syntax as serverside. This is actually rather simple but it's one less tediuous task for yourself :)

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerLogin( pl ) {

  findPlayer( pl ).addWeapon( this.name );

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



function onCreated() {

  GlobalEvents = this;

}



public function triggerAll( eventName, parameters ) {

   for ( temp.weapon: player.weapons ) {

    temp.weapon.trigger( eventName, parameters[0], parameters[1], parameters[2], parameters[3], parameters[4], parameters[5], parameters[6], parameters[7], parameters[8], parameters[9] );

  }

}

I'll be posting the functionality for NPCs soon - I should have been working on an Events System instead of this, haha.

Thanks for reading! :)

Hey, works. Rep for you.

Would be nice if there was some way to detect files outside of levels/ being updated, as it could then auto update list. So, only suggestion I got atm is some way to update the list, ie. RC Command, a timer (deprecated though, first thing I said would be much better, but I guess we have to wait?)

edit; http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...62#post1541962

Thanks for the advice Chompy. I was actually thinking to myself in Maths today: "Crap, I forgot to add functionality to update the list! Damn...", lol.

Anyway, enjoy!

EDIT: Holy crap, I didn't expect the percentage symbols to work!

Instructions & Code
Add this to Control-NPC - if event exists, just copy the function call and do whatever you wish.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onRCChat() {
  if ( params[0] == "updateweaponlist" ) ( @ globalWeaponTrigger ).updateWeaponList();
}

This is the updated code:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {
  updateWeaponList();
  globalTriggerName = this.name;
}

public function triggerAll( eventName, parameters ) {
  for ( temp.weapon: this.weapons ) {
    ( @ temp.weapon ).trigger( eventName, parameters );
  }
}

public function updateWeaponList() {
  this.weapons = NULL;
  
  temp.charMap = {
                  {"%045", "-"},
                  {"%042", "*"},
                  {"%047", "/"},
                  {"%032", " "}
                 }; 
  
  temp.weaponsFolder.loadfolder( "weapons/*.txt", 1 );
  
  for (temp.weapon: temp.weaponsFolder) {
    removeescapesfromfilename( temp.weapon );
    this.weapons.add( temp.weapon.substring( 6, temp.weapon.length() - 4 ) );
  }
  
  echo( this.name @ ": weapon list updated." );
}

The NPCServer also need R(ead) rights to the weapons/ folder for this to work ;)

As a note, you can use the "removeescapesfromfilename" function to removing the escaping used in filenames (rather than the charMap you have).

removeescapesfromfilename(str) - returns string

echo(removeescapesfromfilename("weapon%045Test.txt "));
outputs: weapon-Test.txt

Nope, you can loadFolder() even without read rights.

Interesting. Thought all functions having to do with the filebrowser required rights, but I guess there are exceptions.

Well, I guess it kinda makes sense since loadFolder() really isn't doing much but getting a list of file names.

Wouldn't it need to be temp.weapon.length()-11?

To take out the "weapon" prefix and the ".txt" suffix?

Why are you doing this?

PHP Code:


		
			
globalTriggerName = this.name;

It's probably better to just do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
globalTrigger = this;

then you can just do

PHP Code:


		
			
globalTrigger.function();

Ah yeah, should have done that. thanks.

Yes since it'd still include "weapon", right? But I get what you were trying to do.

o_O

Start = 6, so ommitting the 'weapon' prefix.
End = length - 4; omitting the '.txt' suffix.

Never knew the second param in substring() took off whatever the first param didn't include.

How substring works:

"testingfoobarbaz".substring(3, 5)

It starts at 3, so it excludes the red

testingfoobarbaz

Then it will extract the text between starting index 3 and the length from this index.

testingfoobarbaz

The text inbetween the colored text is what you end up with

Yes I know how substrings work, I just didn't know if you had something like

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.string = "Hi my name is Frank!";

echo(temp.string.substring(14, temp.string.length()-1);

Would return "Frank" and not "Frank!" (not sure if there'd be 0's or spaces on the end, either) since the full length is 20 but it gets reduced down to 6, then taking 1 from that gives 5, which is enough for "Frank" without the "!"
