Offline Player Manipulation

[fowlplay4]

Allows you to view and edit variables and the values of offline players while providing compatibility methods to edit them if they're already online.

PHP Code:

function findplayer2(acct) {
  // Check if Player Online
  temp.obj = findplayer(acct);
  if (temp.obj.level == NULL) {
    // Create Player Object
    temp.obj = new TServerPlayer(@acct);
  }
  return temp.obj;
}

function getPlayerVar(acct, var) {
  // Get Player Object
  temp.obj = findplayer2(acct);
  temp.val = makevar("temp.obj." @ var);
  // Destroy Player Object
  if (temp.obj.level == NULL) temp.obj.destroy();
  // Return Value
  return temp.val;
}

function editPlayerVar(acct, var, value) {
  // Get Player Object
  temp.obj = findplayer2(acct);
  // Check for Array of Variables and Values
  if (var.type() == 3 && var.size() == value.size()) {
    // Change Values
    for (temp.v: var) {
      makevar("temp.obj." @ var) = value[0+temp.i];
      temp.i++;
    }
  } else {
    // Change Single Value
    makevar("temp.obj." @ var) = value;
  }
  // Save Account File
  if (temp.obj.level == NULL) {
    temp.obj.saveaccount();
    temp.obj.destroy();
  }
} 


Some example usage..

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  // Accessing Player Variables
  echo(findplayer2("fowlplay4").account); // Echos fowlplay4
  echo(getPlayerVar("fowlplay4", "account")); // Echos -2144485044 on Zodiac
  // Multiple Variable Value Edit
  editPlayerVar("fowlplay4", {"client.a", "client.b"}, {1, 2});
  // Single Variable Value Edit
  editPlayerVar("fowlplay4", "client.c", 3);
} 


Important Note when using findplayer2:

Enjoy!
