Global Trigger Weapons

[Codein]

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." );
}

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

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

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
