findofflineplayer()

[Yen]

I'm looking for a command to modify an offline player's attributes via script. Would it be possible to get added?

[ApothiX]

Very doubtful, but it would definitely be handy.

Problem with that is if you do make an object player that's offline... You'd have to create the TServerPlayer... And that might conflict with a LOT of things ( global playerlist, for one... )

Not really. The server would have to store the data for that player and update it when that account logged on.
but wait! isn't the player's attribs stored on the server anyways?



yen: at present you can accomplish this by making a db to store all changes made when the account is offline. when players log on, check for any changes from onactionplayeronline in the cnpc

Recording changes and accessing the variables are two different things.

If you rescript the whole damn system using mudaccount-style things, you can access the variables while the player is offline.

But... That's not what he was asking.

Of course; if one scripts anything entirely from scratch, the potential to do anything with it because as flexable as the code permits it.

In other words: The rainbow's your limit. But... I think he wanted a much more pre-made way.

Well, he actually asked how to modify a value of an offline player's attributes. So the question was already answered. I was just replying to your thread about being able to view them.

Theoretically it is possible to make a function for loading a player account. We must make sure it's not breaking things though and that it is deleting correctly afterwards, may be similar to TStaticVar. One problem right now is that only the gserver is loading the player account, while the npcserver is only modifying variables and sending updates, but never touching the account itself.

It would really be a handy function.

Then cant you make it so that when the gserver loads the player when it first logs on, it loads any changed made to the player while he/she was gone?
