Event System

[Twinny]

Simple Event system which can be used as a base for a much better system

PHP Code:

/*Open Sourced! Some asks for it - you give it */
function onActionServerSide(cmd) {
  /* Set Event */
  if (cmd == "setevent") {
    EventList();
    this.ec = this.event.index(params[1]);
    if (this.ec > -1) {
      serverr.eventname = this.event[this.ec];
      serverr.eventlevel = this.event[this.ec+1];
      serverr.eventx = this.event[this.ec+2];
      serverr.eventy = this.event[this.ec+2];
    }
    else {
      player.chat = "Event Not Found"; /* Check below in EventList(); */
    }
  }    
  /* Set Message */
  else if (cmd == "setmessage") {
    if (serverr.eventname != NULL) {
      serverr.eventmessage = params[1];
      for (pl : allplayers) {
        pl.triggerclient(this.name,"EventSet");
      }
    }
  }
  else if (cmd == "clear") {
    serverr.eventname = "";
    serverr.eventlevel = "";
    serverr.eventx     = "";
    serverr.eventy     = "";
    serverr.eventmessage = "";
    for (pl : allplayers) {
        pl.triggerclient(this.name,"Clear");
    }
  }
  else if (cmd == "warptoevent") {
    setlevel2(serverr.eventlevel,serverr.eventx,serverr.eventy);
  }       
}

function EventList() {
  //Eventname,level,x,y
  this.event = {
    "Event Name","Event level",x,y,
    "Event 2 Name","Event 2 level",x,y,
  };
}



//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionClientSide() {
  if (params[0] == "EventSet") {
    setevent();
  }
  else if (params[0] == "Clear") {
    hideimg(201);
    ebutton.hide();
  }
}

function onPlayerchats() {
if (player.guild == "Events Team") {
  if (player.chat.starts("/setevent")) {
    triggerserver("gui",this.name,"setevent",player.chat.substring(10,-1));
  }
  else if (player.chat.starts("/message")) {
    triggerserver("gui",this.name,"setmessage",player.chat.substring(9,-1));
  }
  else if (player.chat.starts("/clear")) {
    triggerserver("gui",this.name,"clear");
  } }   
}

function onCreated(){
  new GuiButtonCtrl(ebutton) {
    profile = "GuiBlueButtonProfile";
    x       = screenwidth - 100;
    y       = screenheight - 50;
    extent  = "100 50";
    text    = "Play Event";
    visible = false;
  }  
}

function setevent() {
  ebutton.show();
  showText( 201, 10, screenheight-40, "Verdana", "b", serverr.eventname@": " @ serverr.eventmessage).layer=4;
}

function ebutton.onAction() {
  triggerserver("gui",this.name,"warptoevent");
} 


Figured I'd keep the levels within the script. Could use a class or a DBNPC to contain the levels...would be much more sexier if you used a DBNPC....

player.chat.substring(10)
doesn't substring require two params? :O
I've never seen it accept one

[Twinny]

Didn't even see that yet i think it works anyways?

[xXziroXx]

substring(start, length)

[Twinny]

Even though it works fine i'll change it just for you guys -_-

Why bother? It was fine before.

[projectigi]

PHP Code:

obj.substring(index[,length]) 


the length parameter is optional =/ atleast the wiki says so

[xAndrewx]

Could someone explain why only 1 param is needed? Would leaving it as blank / not there mean untill it ends?

Yes.

PHP Code:

temp.foo = "Bar";
echo(temp.foo.substring(1)); 


produces "ar".

This doesnt work.. When I say /warptoevent theres nothing and noone ever gets the popup for the event.

[xAndrewx]

There's only three commands, each one needing an "Events Team" tag. Here are those three commands:

/clear
/setevent [event name]
/message [message]

Side note:

PHP Code:

  this.event = {
    "Event Name","Event level",x,y,
    "Event 2 Name","Event 2 level",x,y,
  }; 


Why not use multi-dimensional arrays?

On Utopia, we are doing:

PHP Code:

  this.events = {
                  { "Auction", "utopia_events_auction.nw", 33.5, 40, "utopia_money.png" },
                  { "Chance", "utopia_events_chance.nw", 8, 17, "utopia_ec.gif" },
                  { "LMS", "utopia_events_lms.nw", 30, 7, "ut_icon-57.gif" },
                  { "Laser Tag", "utopia_events_lt-lobby.nw", 32, 19, "utopia_igun-icon.png" },
                  { "Lucky Prize", "utopia_events_luckyprize.nw", 27.5, 26.5, "utopia_ec.gif" },
                  { "Ring", "utopia_events_ring.nw", 34, 24, "utopia_igun-icon.png" },
                  { "Spar Tourney", "utopia_events_spararena.nw", 31, 21.9, "ut_icon-57.gif" },
                  { "Tag Team Spar", "utopia_events_tagteam.nw", 32.3, 21.2, "utopia_weapon-Chaingun-icon.gif" },
                  { "Gravity Race", "utopia_event-gravity.nw", 5.8, 56, "utopia_empty.png" },
                  { "Trick Race", "utopia_events_trickrace.nw", 12, 22, "utopia_staffblock.gif" },
                  { "Quiz", "utopia_events_quiz.nw", 40, 24.5, "block.png" }
                }; 


Multi-dimensional arrays ftw

I should probably release Utopia's event system ... it's fairly more complex. Probably harder to install. Easier to use, I would imagine.

I will talk to Ork...

So how are people meant to get the the event?
