Control-NPC PM Responding

[bscharff]

OK, I'm Making An Event System Similar To Era's, Without The GUI That Pops Up.
I Have The Weapon Finished and Working But I Just Need To Get The If Player PM The Server Saying "join" then it warps them to the level defined in serverr.event
I Have This:

if (pm){
if (strequals(#p(0),join)){
setlevel2 serverr.event[1],serverr.event[2],serverr.event[3];
}
}

I Have Also Tried

function onPM
if (params[0] == "join"){
setlevel2(serverr.event[1],serverr.event[2],serverr.event[3]);
}
}

Any Suggestions, Fixes, or Alternatives?

PHP Code:

function onPM(foo, text) {
  switch(text) {
    case "join":
      setlevel2(serverr.event[1], serverr.event[2], serverr.event[3]);
    break;
  }
}

That doesn't work at all (I work on bscharff's server). We've tried many alterations, even made it as simple as:

NPC Code:

---

function onPM(foo, text) {

this.sendPM("HI!");

}

---

Nothing works, it just replies with the default "Hey I'm the NPC server and I control most of the NPC's". Any ideas?

And this is in the Control-NPC?

Zodiac seems to have it working. Try pm'ing it classtree. I doubt a new client release would effect the server

[xXziroXx]

That's odd. I know it stopped working on a lot of servers when v5 was released, you can even find several threads on the forum talking about it.

But yeah, it seems to be working on Zodiac..

PHP Code:

function onPM() {
  sendPM("Thanks for PMing me!");
}

What is foo?

[DustyPorViva]

I think the player's account name, but in this case is not needed.

yep

[bscharff]

OK,
I Found out The Problem.
Since I Was Doing setlevel2 on it's own with no this. or player. it didn't know what to do.
So Mog put player.setlevel2(L,X,Y); it's works fine :P
Thanks Guys!

Thought I'd nought, for onPM to be called, I'm pretty sure in the onCreated, or such function, you need setPM( NULL );

Bump alert, but it might prevent similar threads in the future.

If you do NOT have setPM(""); in your Control-NPC, function onPM() will not be triggered.

So, if function onPM() doesn't work for ya, simply do setPM(""); in your Control-NPC's onCreated() function.

Why did we need to bump this?

I basically said put it in onCreated in the last post.

I'm not known to read well or pay much of an attention at 4AM

[Admins]

setPM() in onCreated() doesn't help since onCreated() is not called on server restart (it will call onInitialized()). It's better to call setPM("") in onActionPlayerOnline.

The first line is the "advertising URL", not used for a long time but to stay compatible with scripts that expect to skip the first line it's still inserting an empty line.
