Ok for mervbot, I made a command that will say something when the play enters, and what is says is customizeable (ex. !message [message]).
But all it did was PM the player with a blank message. Here is my code>

In command.cpp:

if (c->check("message"))
{
String themessage = c->final;

if (c->checkParam(themessage))
{
message_enabled = true;

if (themessage.IsEmpty())
{
message_enabled = false;
}
}
}

And in spawn.ccp:

case EVENT_PlayerEntering:
{
Player *p = (Player*)event.p[0];
if(p->ship!=

{gotEvent(makePlayerShip(p,p->ship,

);}

if(message_enabled)
{
sendPrivate(p, themessage);
}
}

And in spawn.h, I defined:

bool message_enabled;
String themessage;[/code]

Code: Show/Hide

if (c->check("message"))
{
if(*c->final != NULL)
{
if(c->checkParam("off"))
{
enabled=false;
}
else
{
enabled=true;
strncpy(message,c->final,256);
}
}
}

And in spawn.ccp:

case EVENT_PlayerEntering:
{
Player *p = (Player*)event.p[0];

if(enabled)
{
sendPrivate(p, message);
}

}

And in spawn.h, I defined:
#include <string.h>
bool enabled;
char message[256];

I must be missing something

try changing, in commands.cpp:

if (c->check("message"))
{
String themessage = c->final;

to:

if (c->check("message"))
{
themessage = c->final;

It will always use the local variable whever it can, so if you redefine it locally it won't affect the global one, save you doing this.themessage
