Well ya know how you have those silly little X/Y coords. Well umm now you can have letter coords. Here is the code:

String coords;

Player p = m_botAction.getPlayerName(event.getPlayerID());

coords=""+((char)(65+((p.getXLocation() * 5 ) >> 12)))+
(((p.getYLocation() * 5 ) >> 12) + 1);

m_botAction.sendPrivateMessage( p.getPlayerName() + " is at " + coords );

Something along the lines of that is how you get letter coords.

Output would be: BDwinsAlt is at K10.

If your using a bounty rabbit game do this.

Code: Show/Hide

private String wabbit;
public void rabbit(String name, String message){
      Player p = m_botAction.getPlayer(name);
if(oplist.isER(name)){
   if( message.equals("on") ){
      m_botAction.sendArenaMessage( p.getPlayerName() + " is the new rabbit! Get him/her to become the new rabbit." );
      wabbit = p.getPlayerName();
      m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage( wabbit, "*prize 5000" );
   } else if( message.equals("off") ){
   wabbit=off;
   }
   } if( message.equals("") ){
   m_botAction.sendPrivateMessage( name, "Wabbit: " + wabbit );
   }
}

public void handleEvent(PlayerDeath event){
   String killee = m_botAction.getPlayerName( event.getKilleeID() );
   String killer = m_botAction.getPlayerName( event.getKillerID() );
   String coords;
   Player p = m_botAction.getPlayer(event.getKillerID());
   coords=""+((char)(65+((p.getXLocation() * 5 ) >> 12)))+(((p.getYLocation() * 5 ) >> 12) + 1);
   if( killee.equals(wabbit) ){
      m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage( killer, "*points 100000" );
      m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage( killer, "*prize 5000" );
      m_botAction.sendArenaMessage( killer + " is the new rabbit! Kill the wabbit to get the reward! (" + coords + ")" );
      m_botAction.sendPrivateMessage( wabbit, "You are no longer the wabbit!" );
      m_botAction.sendPrivateMessage( killer, "You are the new wabbit! You have been given the reward: 100,000 points." );
      wabbit = killer;
}

Ta-Dah, now you can point and laugh at me and my code.

wouldn't something like this be a lot easier?

Note: didn't compile this so theres probably an error somewhere

Code: Show/Hide

public String getPlayerLocation(int xtiles, int ytiles)
{
char x = ('A' + xtiles * 20 / 1024);
short y = (ytiles * 20 / 1024) + 1;
return (""+ x + y);
}

Who knows d1s lol. Well i know my way works.

Hmm i wonder if letter coords are included in TWCore 1.0

Im checking the site 58 times a day to see if its released.

Dont count on it. Something like that requires so little work it doesnt need to be built into the core, and by all means SHOULDNT be.

Its more convenient to have a p.getLetterCoords() rather than having to make the code

public class BloatedPlayer extends Player
{
public String getLetterCoords()
{
...
}
}

It would actually make a lot more sense to make it static in a utility class such as Tools. Even having it in BotAction would make more sense than putting it in Player.

I wouldnt bother. The number of bots which actually make use of it isnt nearly high enough to add a block of code that simple into the core.

I must join in here, it's too small of a code block to be required in the core; however, if they were to do it, I'd suggest making it a static function like they do w/ the Java Math util functions (since it's not dependent on anything spectacular). I doubt the map size will change any time soon, etc. etc.
