Custom Slash Commands

[markusdabrave]

I'd like to put a /hotzone slash command that lists the current hotzones for my players. Is there a data flow diagram or an example of making a custom command? Or is it even possible?

You are better off using # commands in perl or lua with custom global_player code

if ($text=~/#cooldowns/i) {
$client->ResetAllCastbarCooldowns();
$client->Message(13, "ResetAllCastbarCooldowns!");
}


Example to reset all castbar cooldowns in perl

If you are getting a weird "error command not found" set this rule to true

SELECT * FROM rule_values r WHERE r.rule_name LIKE "%SuppressCommandErrors%"

Can anyone use # commands or do I need to somehow specify an accesslevel?

Just add code to restrict it to a certain Status which is a variable exported to client scripts


if ($status >= 200) { #CUSTOM GM ONLY COMMANDS
if ($text=~/#cooldowns/i) {
$client->ResetAllCastbarCooldowns();
$client->Message(13, "ResetAllCastbarCooldowns!");
} elsif ($text=~/#randomstuff/i) {
#Do more things ect.. ect..
}
}

If you need an API reference just use spire.

Thanks. Appreciate the help.

Ok I'm feeling like a complete moron. I've #reloadquests and added the below code to my global_player.pl and it's still not working. I also enabled the error message suppressing suggested. What am I missing? Is # a special character?


# Hot Zone List - Lists Current Hotzones
sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/#hotzone/i){
$client->Message(315,'This is a test.');
}
}

You can also add slash commands by using dll injection, though it's a bit more involved.

This is how I did hooks on classless 3:

these examples are a working template for adding your own commands.

Thanks. Got it working. 99% of my problem was using nano to edit. Started using g komodo and found all sorts of syntaxes errors.
