Script to Check RC Chat
 

Is it possible to have a script that checks if a certain word is said on RC? Like, for example, could you make a script that automatically disconnects people if they curse on RC Chat? I know that function onRCChat(action) is only called if someone said /npc first.

Thanks for any advice.

There is, but it's not possible on servers other than login servers or privileged servers.

Ah, okay. Thank you. I could definitely see the potential for abuse haha.

;) No problem.

You shouldn't want to do that anyway.

The only way to get RC chat on normal servers (I've never heard of the privileged server thing and not sure if that's true or not) is with client-RC; onRCChat is called clientside (with the line as a parameter) if you're connected to client-RC.

I haven't heard of a privileged server thing either, and I very much doubt that's true until I see it with my own eyes.

I've definitely heard that somewhere before. You'll have to look into it though.

you can do it by parsing the last line out of the MLTextCtrl but that only works if you're using client-rc.

If you're using client-RC, then just use the onRCChat event.

I've done something like that before, but it's just not practical. Unless you're checking every 4-5 seconds it's going to cause quite a bit of lag.

...what? You could check it twenty times a second if you wanted without noticeably slowing the client.

That wasn't the case when I tried it.

Then you're doing something wrong.

Just parse the RC log file, forgot the file path.
Then check the last lines of it for bad words.

There is no RC chat log file kept by the server.
