Sending private msg
hi
i was was trying to make a code in lfslapper.lpr to send a privet msg to someone. but i failed.
could someone send/make a code for it??
thx
#2 - Krayy
Already exists...search in the Lapper.lpr file for commands called privMsg to check your syntax.

Basic usage is: privMsg ( "Message_text");
#3 - Bass-Driver
k i found it
but i want to do is

!prvmsg (Username here)== ($arvg)
Then open openPrivTextButton("prvmsg",50,51,25,15,5,96,"$arvg1"PrvMsg");
then send $arvg1 to $arvg)

i know this is wrong but i just give an example
could u help me with this??

krayy he is talking about sending a pm to another user
#5 - Bass-Driver

In that case:

Short answer...yes, it is possible

Long answer...yes it is possible, BUT...currently lapper has 2 messaging functions...privMsg (for messages to current racer) and globalMsg (to all racers). I mentioned your request to my team last night and they think it would be a good idea to be able to pm people, so I will create a new function to send a msg to a specific player and integrate it with the !who command (I'll put a button on the right to PM someone, then prompt for a message).

I'll hopefully post it by next week.

Here's the base code...
Okay guys,

Here's the base code that I will be using, wrapped in a !pm command for you.

Add this code in the LFSLapper.lpr file in amongst the other ! commands:

<?php 
        CASE "!pm":
            $idxSpace = indexOf( $argv, " ");
            $toUser = subStr( $argv,0,$idxSpace );
            $argv = trim( subStr( $argv,$idxSpace ) );
            userMsg (GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Nickname" ), $toUser, $argv);
            BREAK;
?>

Add this code to the parseEvent.cs file just above the code for the "privmsg" command:

<?php 
                case "usermsg":
                    {
                        testArgs(ident, "SSS", args);
                        currInfoPlayer = listOfPlayers.getPlayerByUserName((string)args[1]);
                        if (currInfoPlayer == null)
                            throw new GLScript.GLApp.GLScriptException("You can't use " + ident + " in this context, not a player event");
                        string text = args[2].ToString();
                        if (text == "[[TranslateEngine]]")
                            text = lfsLang.replaceParmsLangStr(currInfoPlayer.idLang);
                        SendMsgToConnection(currInfoPlayer.UCID, "^6Personal msg from: ^8" + (string)args[0]);
                        SendMsgToConnection(currInfoPlayer.UCID, "^7" + text );
                        break;
                    }
?>

Use by typing in a normal text window:
!pm krayy hey there matey

Note: To use the code, you need to address it using the username, not the nickname. This won't matter when I make it a button off of the !who display

cool will try it later but could u change the code when u do :

!pm Bass-Driver
Then
openPrivTextButton("")
then it will do

(This is what Bass-Driver see when he get a private message from someone)
-^2Username sended u a private message
-^3Here the message what u write to Bass-Driver

i hope u understand what i'm saying here

Sorry for barging in, but, what if the user name has a space in it? Mind, I have never even looked at lapper and have no idea how it works, but just using the first occurrence of a space as user/message separation (looking at the !pm command here) seems problematic.

Also Bass-Driver, it's spelled private, not privet.

ye i know i'm tired so i cant type my english correctly
#12 - Fire_optikz001
i would do "username"

this would also be solved with the priv button
becauseu would do !pm username

then that would open a button that u clikc and typer ur pm
#13 - Krayy
Thtas why I said that this initial !pm command is a temporary solution. I'll get time to wrap it nicely later. As to spaces in the username, I'm pretty sure that LFS will not let you register a username with a space in it, and nicknames are local to your client/server, so that will never be an issue.

Well, you're wrong
For example "Bob Smith"

Hi,

I have "tim nl" with a space.
#16 - Krayy
Quote from Tim NL :Hi,

I have "tim nl" with a space.

As your actual user name or as your nickname that you set in the options screen?
#17 - Tim NL
Quote from Krayy :As your actual user name or as your nickname that you set in the options screen?

Its my username "tim nl"

The forum name is equal to the license name

Or just go here: https://www.lfs.net/?page=register
And enter a user name with space and click "Check availability & spelling" below.

kravvy i found another bug with the temp thing

when u do !pm (user) with no message it crashes i was trying to find a way to fix it but i tired this :


<?php 
CASE "!pm":
            $idxSpace = indexOf( $argv, " ");
            $toUser = subStr( $argv,0,$idxSpace );
            $argv = trim( subStr( $argv,$idxSpace ) );
            
            IF( $argv != "" )
            Then
              privmsg("^6Personal Msg To ^8" . GetPlayerVar( $toUser, "Nickname" ) );
              privmsg("^7" . $argv );
            userMsg (GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Nickname" ), $toUser, $argv);
            ELSE
                          privmsg("^1YOU Must Have A Message To Send To The User!");
            ENDIF
            BREAK; 
?>

and it dont work
#20 - Krayy
Guys,

I did say that it was a temporary solution.

I have posted some updated code in a new thread that integrates the functions into the !who screen, as it's more to do with adding database functionality and the PM code is a result of that.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=61992

Be aware that there is a lot of custom code that will need to be added to your LFSLapper.lpr file for some globals

Also, the a patch needs to be applied to the source code for 5.8.4.6, but it could most likely work in versions since 5.8.4.4.
#21 - Fire_optikz001
i know this is a lil late but...
for your !pm command do


<?php 
    CASE "!pm":
           IF( $argv != "" )   THEN
            $idxSpace = indexOf( $argv, " ");
                                IF( $idxSpace != -1 ) THEN
            $toUser = subStr( $argv,0,$idxSpace );
            $argv = trim( subStr( $argv,$idxSpace ) );
          privMsg ( "^6Private Msg To ^8" . GetPlayerVar( $toUser , "Nickname" )  );
            privMsg ( "^7" . $argv );
            userMsg (GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Nickname" ), $toUser, $argv);
  ELSE
             privMsg ( "^7Command needs 2 paremters" );
 ENDIF
 ELSE
             privMsg ( "^7Command needs 2 paremters" );
 ENDIF
            BREAK;
?>

because it prevents lapper from crashing when a user just types "!pm"
