Is there a command or a way to make a bot or something prize you when you have a certain amount of bounty? I'm trying to make a mini plugin and I could figure out the code if I knew if there was a command to check for bounty through the bot.

In MERV, you'd do something like this:

Code: Show/Hide

if (p->bounty == x)
{
sendPrivate(p, *prize ##);
}

yea i'm using merv. i thought something like that wouldnt work because i didnt think it would detect the bounty. so if i wanted an arena message to say when a person got killed with a lot of bounty or whatever it would look like this

Code: Show/Hide

If {p->bounty => x}
sendPublic{p, *arena %tickname was killed by %name after having x bounty};
}

or is that like way off.. also how would it detect if a person got killed

(ps is it => or >= for greater than or equal to)

it's just like it's said, greater than or equal to (>=). Nonetheless you could have tested this out instead of asking, as only one of them will compile

Maverick · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 6:28 am Post subject:

If you want to have it detect bounty reliable, set 'NoisySpectator' to 1 in mervbot.ini. (And then you can detect the bounty in the EVENT_PlayerMove Event)

However, beware of the warnings given by 50% Packetloss about NoisySpectator in this topic.

Can a mod please move this topic to Bot Questions forum

NoisySpectator is almost always a bad idea. However, bounty only goes up during kills and prizes (right?) so all you have to do is check on EVENT_PlayerDeath and EVENT_PlayerPrize. Come on, Mav, use your brain.

The one possible circumstance in which this might not work is the smod command *prize, I'm not sure whether that sends a player prize packet. Of course, you could always check on EVENT_PlayerPosition without NoisySpectator if you want.

ok so literally heres how my code should look.. or would this be way wrong

Code: Show/Hide

If {p >= x}
{
sendPrivate {*prize #};
}

If {EVENT_playerdeath p >= x}
{
sendPublic {*arena Player has been killed after having x bounty};
}

also would this go under a .cpp file or .c file?

Muskrat · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:46 pm Post subject:

That would be WAY wrong. First you have braces, { and } where there should be parentheses, ( and ). Also, dont capitalize keywords (if not If). You need a player argument first, then a string in the sendPrivate function. Also, get the capitalizing on EVENT_PlayerDeath right. And in your first conditional p isnt going to compare with any integer x, so I'd suggest p->bounty, that looks liek what you are going for.

jesus... lol I don't even think thats everything.

Quan Chi2 · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:04 pm Post subject:

I would use something like..
String s;
s += "arena ";

blah blah blah

alright thanks for the help thus far.. i'm still trying to learn c++ so i'm getting there gradually

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:05 pm Post subject:

Learn C++ before you make a bot plugin. Look at some other plugins or read stuff on http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/.

Muskrat · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:50 pm Post subject:

Or better yet, take an Intro to C class at your school or nearby university.

xsp0rtsfanx · Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:56 pm Post subject:

my school: highschool that has a java course they wouldnt let me in

nearby university/community college: no class i dont believe...

i'd have to search to find a class.. i have books so i'm gradually learning..

Yeah, C++ for Dummies is helping me much.

If you can't understand at least the first several sections of this, stop until you do:
