Post subject: Bot !help function

I'm programming a little plugin right now and I did this:
case OP_Player:
{ // Player-level commands
// sendPrivate(p, "!about (query me about my function)");
sendPrivate(p, "!about !ship !capital");
}

But it won't show the lines when I do !help.
I checked !plugin and it says it was loaded, anyone have any idea why it didn't work?

Also: How do you make operatives in commands?
Like !ship [#].

You have to be careful because bit's and pieces of code are left out such in the case to use atoi (your !ship [#]) you need to include

#include <stdlib.h>

in command.cpp, in the top portion like so:

#include "spawn.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "..\algorithms.h"

To address how to do a command here's another code sniplet

if (c->check("lt_on")) { // !lt_on [#]
int temp = 500; // default value incase [#] is not a number.

if (isNumeric(c->final))
temp = atoi(c->final); // change text number into int (stdlib)
}

Hopes this helps, if not just IM me, it was a pain to post code on here

just started on it so it's not done yet, hopefully it'll be helpful to new bot programmers

It has missing code here and there, formatting isn't very nice but at least it explains some stuff ... C++ definately a needed knowledge (w/ experience coding helps a lot ...)

Like i said any help just IM me

Cool! Thanks that helped. I got it all working now!
Any idea with the !help info though?

Are you sure plugins say "!about (query me about my function)"? If you had more than one plugin loaded and someone did !help they would get the message several times.

Yeah I know, but it's not the problem.
Now I've just changed it to !myship but it still doesn't display... So weird :-/

Read the above switch statement above it, and make sure the break statements arent preventing it from working. Take out al the breaks up to the first message sent.
