Question about PMs with NPC server

[Sum41Freeeeek]

I'm trying to insert a command that a player can PM to the NPC server but I have no clue how. I'm assuming I have to put the script into the Control-NPC but I don't know what to put in there.

Joey told me

function onPM(text)
{
}

but he is unsure.

hmm
I think it is something like

PHP Code:

function onPM() {
  if (params[0] == "test") {
    sendpm("Test Message");
  }
} 


Not sure tho..
I think params[0] is what you pm the player

nope, didn't work :[

I just got that "I am the npc server and all actions are controlled by me" or whatever.

have you tried to see if onRC() returns any parameters?

PHP Code:

function onRC()
  echo(params); 


[Sum41Freeeeek]

it doesn't :x

[Chompy]

PHP Code:

function onPM() {
  if (params[1] == "testmsg") {
    sendpm("woot, you got a message back!");
  }
} 


just have setpm(NULL); in the onCreated() part of Control-NPC,
then it should work

params[0] is something
params[1] is the text being sent to the npcserver

also, try this when you have setpm(NULL);

PHP Code:

function onRC()
  echo(params);

Under the onCreated() event, Put this:

PHP Code:

setPm(null);

I don't really understand, can you explain further to what setPM(null); does? :x

does that just allow the NPC server to receive PMs and do further things with it? not to sure.

It just disables the default automatic answering of PMs. You can also do setPM("This is an automatic message");, that will replace the automatic reply message. The onPM-event is only invoked if the default automatic message is empty.
