Custom command

[ShaDoW]

Hello,

 

I want to make a custom command !levlist. It must show a list of adminlevels like in other mods. But i don't know how to start a new line. I tried "/n" already but it doesn't work.

Can u help me?

You could make all of the lines separated prints.

How do u mean?

[gaoesa]

exec = chat "Level 0 - Guest"; chat "Level 1 - Regular";

[ShaDoW]

Okay thanks it works! Do u know also how to sent it alone to the user of the command. That it isn't visible in mainchat.

[gaoesa]

You could do that with Lua but not with custom commands.

[ShaDoW]

hm don't know how lua works. Is it hard?

[gaoesa]

It's not hard. But I don't have any examples I could post. Let's hope if someone who uses it more has something they could post to base the script on.

Here is something similar to what you asked. It doesn't intercept !levlist command from chat but instead it will intercept the /levlist console command. Adding the code into a levlist.lua file in the server silent folder. Add the file name in lua_modules like this: set lua_modules "levlist.lua". Once the server starts it will load the Lua modules. You can add many modules into the lua_modules string.

 

-- function body taken from the rules.lua from N!trox
function et_ClientCommand(clientNum, command)
command = string.lower(command)
 --If a client types "/levlist" in his console
 if (command == "levlist") then
  et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientNum, "chat \""Level 0 - Guest"^7\n\"")
  et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientNum, "chat \""Level 1 - Regular"^7\n\"")
  return 1
 end
end

 

I didn't test the above but it is an example how to use Lua. More Lua documentation http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Mod_Server_Cvar#Lua and more detailed documentation in the server.html which came with the silent download.
