Okay... I am learning all of this, and it is slow going. I took the flag.dll plugin and cleaned up the Winners Stats somewhat then added a line to prize the arena. But now what I want to do is flood the player with his stats from the end of the game. Any help with that??

sendPrivate(p,"Your kills: " + (String)kills);
sendPrivate(p,"Your deaths: " + (String)deaths);
sendPrivate(p,"Your skill: 0");

where p is a Player*

What I like to do:

Code: Show/Hide

String s[3];
s[0] = "Your kills: "+ (String)kills);
s[1] = "Your deaths: " + (String)deaths);
s[2] = "Your skill: 0");

for(int x = 0; x < 3; x++)
sendPrivate(p,s[x]);

It works well when you have lots of messages to send

You might need to put s[x].msg if s[x] doesn't work

A magic trick someone showed me when I was learning mervbot is the playerlist. Say you want to message every player in the bot's arena "Hello!" (or in your case their stats)

you can do:

Code: Show/Hide

for (_listnode <Player> *parse = playerlist->head;parse;parse = parse->next)
{
Player *p = parse->item;

sendPrivate(p,"Hello");
}

and you can access this playerlist in any function that is part of the botInfo class (so therefore in all the events).

You can also do a while-loop as well.

Thanks... I will try that one too. Considering I am not a programmer by nature, this is difficult, but you guys are giving me some good info! thanks!

Or you could just write the ASM yourself, Cyph.

And d1s, that's 3 more lines of C++ and more than 3 more lines of ASM.

Well, considering I don't know ASM; LOL.. I doub't I'd be writting it in it..

Cyan, while using it for 3 isn't as helpful, if you had like 10 lines, it makes it a lot easier. Also, it allows you to define them at one time, and then control if maybe you didn't want to send them just yet.

It still requires one more line of code for each new message...

At least do:

Code: Show/Hide

String s[3] =
{
"Your kills: "+ (String)kills,
"Your deaths: " + (String)deaths,
"Your skill: 0"
};

Saves a bit...
