Send message in script

[Aetherius Shadowblade]

I have the playergates system, and I would like to send a message to the player saying "You are now <whatever>" after they walk into the gate. How would I?

And is there a better system out there?

You mean like moon gates but different locations?

moongate would be a good example, teleporters. I have the player gates scripts, and I would like to send the player a message when they walk into one.

depending on the method you use like OnDoubleclick (Mobile from) you would use from to indicate the mobile that doubleclicked the gate and then do

from.SendMessage("You did it!");

what about if they walked over it?

edit: see next post

 

[zerodowned]

forgot about adding a check to make sure from is a player

public override bool OnMoveOver( Mobile from )
{
if (from != PlayerMobile) {return;} // does nothing if the mobile stepping on it isn't a player

from.SendMessage("You did it!");​

}

those commands for the server when you type in ?.
then you get--
shutdown
shutdown -no save
etc.
etc.

Where are they located?
I need to set up a couple to start mono for my server when I do a restart. I dont think it likes the way it is now.

It is located in main.cs in the core. Look for the kill() method.

Mono doesn't like processes being restarted in general. It can't really get around the closing of a window and reopening of it. At least this was the case when I was working with mono a year or so ago.

one can hope

I got around it by creating shell scripts that I would use to restart the server instead.

may I have them?
Are they easy to make?

And can I make them work like the menu commands?

CC2.0.cs is the script that handles command line restarts.

I am glad you stuck around Lokai
