So yeah, for shits and giggles, I tried liquidating the AdminMsg into EliteMsg, so that only level 100's can send and see the messages. But it won't work. I don't get kicked for bad packets, or anything, but it doesn't show the EliteMsg, like it should, instead it shows *Message (* is the trigger)

I was just going to leave it, because it was only to see if I could make it, but then I realized that I'll never get any better, if I don't learn what to look for when something doesn't work. I literally spent hours on this. I'd really appreciate any help.


Here's the code.

_________________

GetPlayerLevel(i) = "100" ?

I might not be thinking, but isn't that whats supposed to check if the user is level 100, and then send the message?

_________________

Literally all you needed was to replace the access check with a level > x check... xD

... which (after looking at your code) is what you have nearly done ^__^

Nearly? DAMNIT. What did I miss? What am I doing wrong? I've looked over this code so much, It must be really obvious too.

_________________

GetPlayerLevel(Index) = "100"

You're checking if their level is equal to the word "100". Replace all those GetPlayerLevel checks with > 100.

_________________

If the level cap is level 100, than how could it be greater? And I wanted it to be availiable for those who are level 100's only, so wouldn't:

If getplayerlevel(index) = 100, be what I'm looking for? *sigh*. I guess I'll try, GetPlayerLevel >= 100, and see if that works.

_________________

There's a difference between If GetPlayerLevel(index) = "100" and If GetPlayerLevel(index) = 100

The latter should work. The function GetPlayerLevel returns a numeral. "100" is a string.

_________________

Ohhh, I see. I changed them all to 100 without, the quotes, and yes, I am level 100.

Didn't work.

hehef orgot to add that.

Honestly though, I can't see anything I've done wrong. I found every instance of AdminMsg, and below it I made the EliteMsg, I can't find any reason why this doesn't work.

_________________

Try removing your GetPlayerLevel checks to see if it actually works then you know what's wrong.

_________________

You're a fucking genius. Yeah, it works without the levelchecks. Now I know where to go about fixing this, if possible.

_________________

That's what you should use.

_________________

Didn't work. I slowly unnulled stuff out, until I isolated it to this:


I tried placing the level check everywhere above , but it doesn't seem to work.

EDIT: Nevermind, I took out the level check from there, and it works fine. I tried sending it w/ my level 100, and my level 1 didn't pick it up. I set my level one to, level one-hundred, and I could send messages back and forth to my peeps. This is safe, right?

Uhhh maybe...you should do some more testing.

I had this kind of idea for my game Surviving the Systems Except it was like a shout-out type thing. Since I got that on-screen message display I thought it would be cool to do that
