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..

[D1st0rt]

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.

[Cyan~Fire]

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...

Good call
