I've seen this before, where when someone tries to use a thor, and they get a ship engine shutdown and an item.. I want to do this for an effect I plan to execute...

Heres the bottom line.. I want to make a plugin that does this.. for merv, that is..

How would I do that..(I know it may be newbish, but questions got me to make nice things later on)?

Thanks in advanced...

ok i cant code to save my life but my guess is something like where bot checks for a keydown on f6 it pms the person *prize #14 (for engine shutdown) and then random a prize from 1 to 28.. although thats just a guess thats what i think it should look like.

It won't be a keydown, it'll be an EVENT_PlayerWeapon.

Or maybe (if you're using mervbot) look at the bot's source.

EVENT_PlayerWeapon
In spawns.cpp eh...

What would I put after this...?

case EVENT_PlayerWeapon:
{
Player *p = (Player*)event.p[0];
weaponInfo wi;
wi.n = *(Uint16*)&event.p[1];
}
break;

Mind you, I want to make it on DECOY usage... which is F5(default key)..
What would I put, and where would I put the sendPrivate message...

Thanks

Wouldnt it be...

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_PlayerWeapon:
   {
      Player *p = (Player*)event.p[0];
      weaponInfo wi;
      wi.n = *(Uint16*)&event.p[1];

      if(wi.type == PROJ_Decoy)
         sendPrivate("BlahBlah");
   }
   break;
