Post subject: Give multi to ship 5

Hi,

Since I'm a newb to bot programming (And not that much to C++), can someone help/make me a simple bot plugin (and source) that automaticly gives ship 5 multifire every time they die with ship 5/change ship to 5.

Thanks,
Doug

How's that mean?

In poor countries the rich countries don't give the poor people food, they give them the right materials to have a farm and produce their own food.

A long-term solution is always better, how does suggesting one make me mean?

Yes, but you didn't help him at all. You didn't provide any resources or information that could help him make plugins, or even learn how. You could of taught him how to do what he was asking in even less words/characters than you used in your second post.

Now let's look at this again, who actually helped him more in this thread, you or me?

If he's a little experienced with C++, as he says, he can figure it out.

Also, he obviously didn't even really try, so I'd rather tell him to do so, and eventually provide real help if he gets stuck at making his own plugins.

I won't assume he's retarded, why should I provide resources (which would just be quoting MGB's rules post at the top of this forum)? He's at a resource already, searching the forums is what he should've done before actually posting.

He's helping me way more than you are... On aim.

Can someone close this post? It's getting too retarded.

Hey, guess what, in spawn.cpp:

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_PlayerShip:
      {
         Player *p = (Player*)event.p[0];
         Uint16 oldship = (Uint16)event.p[1];
         Uint16 oldteam = (Uint16)event.p[2];

         // If player is in a Terrier (ship 5), prize MultiFire to player.
         if (p->ship == SHIP_Terrier)
            sendPrivate(p,"*prize #15");
      }
      break;

But I'm too retarded, don't take my advice.

If you really need help for this, I'd suggest you think about who actually is retarded, instead of calling the thread like that.

you can't tell me your first post was more helpful.

I'm sure he didn't learn anything from my last post either.

He needs to play with the code, read other plugins their code and try to understand what it's doing, otherwise it's all useless.

Stop whining about what's more helpful. There are enough people around here who "create" bots without actually knowing what they're doing.
Only giving them code won't teach them anything and will only make it worse.
As said earlier on these forums: "There are enough scriptkiddies".

Excuse me, but I take that as an extream offense.

I KNOW VB, PHP, Perl, MySQL, and out of all of them, I'm just learning C++. My knowledge outweighs my knowledge in learning.

Plus, if you havent noticed from when you learned any programming languages, (IF you have learnt any, which i highly doubt), you need to experiment with one small, simple peice of code, and then you can expand your knowledge from there.

No, none of your posts helped. At all. By the time you posted your 'helpful' post, Muslum already helped me with this, helped debug my errors, AND gave another solution to it, since mine wouldnt work. (In which, YOURS WILL NOT WORK EITHER.)

So please do not call someone a script kiddie when they are superior at scripting towards you, in this case, maybe not exactly in C++, but in everything else, exactly.

Now, can someone finally close this retarded topic?

I forgot to say why your code would not work. Please excuse me if double posting is frowned upon on this forum.

Anyways, SHIP_Terrier WILL NOT work. it has to be 4. No, not SHIP_5, just 4. "Four? LOL", you say? 0 is warbird, not 1.

SHIP_Terrier works...

from spawn.h

Code: Show/Hide

enum Ship_Types
{
SHIP_Warbird, // 0
SHIP_Javelin,
SHIP_Spider,
SHIP_Leviathan,
SHIP_Terrier,
SHIP_Weasel,
SHIP_Lancaster,
SHIP_Shark,
SHIP_Spectator // 8
};

yes SHIP_Terrier works

I didn't call anyone a scriptkiddie, yet, fool.

I'm pretty sure my coding expierence goes a little further than yours, seeing you have no idea what you're talking about.
Haha look at yourself talking: "do not call someone a script kiddie when they are superior at scripting towards you".
If you are superior to me, why did you even bother asking instead of figuring out?

Also, why are you telling me wrong about this? You have no idea what you're doing.
My comment "(ship 5)" doesn't represent the number of the object in the enum, it does represent the number used as ship in Continuum, which I assumed to be the 5 you meant.

You are pathetic, Dvondrake.

Ship_terrier doesnt work for me, so hah.

And I am not pathetic. As I said, my knowledge in C++ is being developed, therefor I still have my rights to ask questions.

I will not reply to this any more. You're a pain and you can't deny that; I don't care. I'm ignoring this thread now...

Haha, why does it work for all others then? It just means you are doing something wrong, so there's no "hah" for you.

Post subject:

it doesn't work because you're putting it in the wrong event

and dvondrake if (p->ship == SHIP_Terrier) is correct

wait till a player issues a playerDeath event, record the name, then during the next playerMove event check the ship and issue them multifire.

You also have to take into account players leaving before you could give them multifire so don't keep them on the list forever. Also changing ship, which is why you check the ship. Also make sure multifire is in the prizeweights or else continuum will issue a security violation.

Neither does it work here. Anyhow SHIP_Terrier does work, so hah.
