v3.51

Adding new /commands like /kill or /mute have changed. They are now structured like the packet system.

HandleKeyPresses

Find


It will first get the text that you have typed in and will split it wherever a space is.
Example:
You type in "/info Admin".
The split function will then create the following array.
Command(0) = "/info"
Command(1) = "Admin"

So now we have to select what the command was and do something with it.
After

You'll have all the select statements.

Example


As you can see we have to add

This will be our error checking, since we know that we have to have the "/Command' and an additional piece of info, we have to make sure our array contains the right amount of elements.
If you know you need 4 pieces of info for your command you would have to do something like

1 for your command and 4 additional pieces of info.

Then you can access the strings in your command with


Little thing on Val() to convert to a numerical value. It would be better to use the correct conversion.
For example if you know your string needs to be a long then you would do:


Clng() - Converts to a long
CInt() - Converts to an integer
Cbyte() - Converts to a byte

Now before we convert we want to make sure we have a valid number first.

A good check would be


MAKE SURE TO CHECK ISNUMERIC BEFORE CONVERTING OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET ERRORS IF SOMEONE TYPES IN ANYTHING BESIDES A NUMBER.

I think that's it. If I'm missing something or didn't explain things well please let me know.

Wow. Now things are complicated again. It's gonna take some time to get used to this again.

It's a lot easier this way. You don't have to do letter counting or anything.

Let's say you have your "/mute player" command.

So you add



That makes sure you have the command and the player to mute.


Psuedo code - dunno what your function is

And that's it to add the /command.

so
all you do is really replace
sendMutePlayer MyIndex, CLng(Command(1))
correct?

This makes things a lot better.

However, all command handling should be in the server. You could send a packet like:



Server would do:



Something like that...thoughts?

Personally I would leave them client side.

If you do the proper checks server side it wouldn't matter what they have access to on the client.

Added a little bit about checking IsNumeric before using the conversion. This will protect you against RTEs.
