[Freakman Bob]

I want to make a Golf bot that would spawn powerballs at certain places, and that could also be told to warp people with simple commands like :GolfBot:!1hole Freakman Bob.

I'm sure this is considered simple, but I'm the sort of person who figures stuff out, doesn't just go with MERV or something....

Therefore, any suggestions / code?

no need to iterate through the list solo, you already have the player*

try this:

Code: Show/Hide void botInfo::gotCommand(Player *p, Command *c) {    // Skipping code to improve readability.    switch (p->access)    {    // ...    case OP_Player:       {          // Is the used command "[!|.|@]1hole"?          if (c->check("1hole"))          {                  sendPrivate(p,"*warpto 512 512");          }          else if (c->check("2hole"))          {                  sendPrivate(p,"*warpto 600 600");          }       }       // ...       } }

No you don't have the Player *, he doesn't want the player (or operator) who used the command to be warped, he wants a certain player in the arena to be warped.

you're right... and that's a silly way to do it... but I guess I feel obligated to post the correct code now

Code: Show/Hide void botInfo::gotCommand(Player *p, Command *c) {    // Skipping code to improve readability.    switch (p->access)    {    // ...    case OP_Moderator:       {          // Is the used command "[!|.|@]1hole"?          if (c->check("1hole"))          {              bool found = false;              for (_listnode <Player> *parse = playerlist->head;parse;parse = parse->next)             {                  if (strcasecmp(c->final,parse->item->name) == 0)                  {                      sendPrivate(parse->item,"*warpto 512 512");                      found = true;                      break;                  }             }              if (!found)                  sendPrivate(p,"Player not found in arena.");              else                  sendPrivate(p,"Player found and warped.");                      }       }       // ...       } }

A more elegent solution would involve checking for substrings of names so you don't have to type the whole name. Hockey Zone has a miniputt bot that does something similar to what it looks like you're developing.

Or you could just set up a TM Baw (?) with warp points set up like in Assault: Overlord from UT GOTY
