Ping

[fowlplay4]

Stumbled upon this today, Enjoy! Although a player.ping variable that would auto-update itself would be niftier but this can get us pretty close.

Scripthelp Docs: TServerPlayer.sendping() - returns object - pings the player, returns a request object which will get an onReceivePing(time) event (use catchevent() on the object)

PHP Code:


function onGPing(acct) {
  temp.obj = findplayer(acct).sendping();
  this.catchevent(obj, "onReceivePing", "onGPingReply");
}

function onGPingReply(obj, plyr, time) {
  echo(plyr.account SPC int(time * 1000) @ "ms");
}

That's pretty neat. I actually wasn't aware of sendping();

[Cloven]

Yeah, nice find.

Stumbled upon it when i was looking for the docs for catchevent.

I guess Stefan snuck it in during the NPC-Server update but the documentation for is a little over since it has 3 parameters instead of 1.

I thought thread bumping was allowed in the code gallery?

Since some people might find an old thread useful.

"Nice job dude" isn't really a good reason to bump the thread. If he had a question or something, then that's different.

pinging yourself should be available to all server
i already added it to Testbed (Shared/Ping) and UN already has it.

[sssssssssss]

So how exactly do you set this up? :x

Tried using player chat to trigger to server, then echo it in rc with those 2 functions, sending it to the first one first, nothing is happening. Help this simpleton out plz.

[fowlplay4]

Something like this should work.. You'll need to modify it to your needs though.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  switch (params[0]) {
    case "ping":
      getPing();
      break;
  }
}

function getPing() { 
  temp.obj = player.sendping(); 
  this.catchevent(obj, "onReceivePing", "onGPingReply"); 
} 

function onGPingReply(obj, plyr, time) { 
  plyr.chat = int(time * 1000) @ "ms";
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  getPing(player.account);
}

function getPing() {
  triggerserver("gui", name, "ping");
} 


[sssssssssss]

cool, thanksers.

Still trying to get the hang of this. So i gotta ask.
where are the results stored so i can send them to the clientside? sending temp.obj doesnt seem to be it.

[xAndrewx]

function onGPingReply(obj, plyr, time) {  
  plyr.chat = int(time * 1000) @ "ms"; 
}

Here is your reply, change the plyr.chat to a var and send it to the clientside using triggerclient()
