(These go into the Control-NPC)

There's a function, onPM(), that is called when the player PMs the NPCServer. Fiddle around with the params, I think the first one is the account and the second one is the text. Using some crazy if-statements, you can find a way to check if the text is equal to something. Then, you can use the sendpm(text) function to send the reply. Note, this is serverside, yanno.

If you are using GS1, instead of onPM(), use:

PHP Code:

if (pm) {
  //stuff
}

In GS2, you'd have something pretty close to this:

PHP Code:

function onPM(something,text){
  if (text == "Nat Application")
   sendPM("Sorry; We aren't seeking assistance in NPCs currently! Thanks anyways.");
}

Just curious, is it possible to leave the account part blank?

You mean in the onPM() parameters?

If so, I think you can probably do:

PHP Code:

function onPM(" ", message) {

} 


I don't know why you would though.

PHP Code:

function onPM()
{
  echo("Someone said :" @ params[1]);
} 


Works just as well.. It's just hard clearing the first param and identifying the second.

A space isn't a nothing o.O

("",message)

Heh, just noticied that I put a space.

But then again, does it have to be nothing?

• The first parameter is not the account name.
• Why are you putting "" in place of a variable?
• Velox Cruentus is right. If you're only going to use one parameter, then why are you wasting your time with a new variable when params[1] works just as well?

hahaha bad idea


and as for the params, use all or none.
also, adding variables there doesn't tell the function what to put where, it just gives names for things. the first variable will always be the first paramater, and the second variable will always be the second.

function onKeypressed(key,code)
function onKeypressed(code,key)
function onKeypressed(code)
function onKeypressed(key)

if you do things like this, you're bound to get yourself confused.

PHP Code:

onKeyPressed(code,key) {
} 


'code' is the asciival of the key
'key' is the key

Memorize that Ashy. :P

[napo_p2p]

lol, I didn't know how to bypass a param. I guess the " " isn't a good idea then .

[Torankusu_2002]

what's the syntax for omPM() then?

[napo_p2p]

try this (GS2):

PHP Code:

function onPM() {

} 


params[1] is the message that the NPC server recieved in the PM.
