TalkAction [/message] Prompt the hoster!

[Colandus]

Hey, I've made a script that'll send a message box to the hoster

Simply, you write /message "hey moron, login and he'll receive a message box saying that

So, this goes to data/talkactions/scripts:
- message.lua

local STORAGE_VALUE = 4353
local EXHAUST_TIME = 20

local ACCESS_TO_USE = 1

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	if (getPlayerGroupId(cid) >= ACCESS_TO_USE) then
		if (exhaust(cid, STORAGE_VALUE, EXHAUST_TIME) == 1) then
			if param:len() >= 5 then
				if param:len() <= 1950 then
					io.popen('msgbox.exe "' .. escapeString(param) .. '" "' .. getPlayerName(cid) .. ' [' .. os.date("%d/%m/%Y")  .. ']\"')
				else
					doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Sorry, message is too long.")
				end
			else
				doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Please enter a message consisting atleast 5 letters.")
			end
			if (MESSAGE_SAVE_LOG == true) then
				logs = io.open("./data/logs/commands.log", "a")
			    logs:write("[" .. os.date("%d/%m/%Y") .. "] " .. getPlayerName(cid) .. ": " .. words .. " " .. escapeString(param) .. "\n")
			    logs:close()
			end
		else
			doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Please wait before sending another message to the hoster.")
		end
	else
		doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You can not execute this command.")
	end
	return 1
end

- talkactions.xml:

<talkaction words="/message" script="message.lua" />

- global.lua (top)

MESSAGE_SAVE_LOG=true

- global.lua (bottom)

function exhaust(cid, storevalue, exhausttime)
-- Exhaustion function by Alreth, v1.1 2006-06-24 01:31
-- Returns 1 if not exhausted and 0 if exhausted
    newExhaust = os.time()
    oldExhaust = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storevalue)
    if (oldExhaust == nil or oldExhaust < 0) then
        oldExhaust = 0
    end
    if (exhausttime == nil or exhausttime < 0) then
        exhausttime = 1
    end
    diffTime = os.difftime(newExhaust, oldExhaust)
    if (diffTime >= exhausttime or diffTime < 0) then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storevalue, newExhaust) 
        return 1
    else
        return 0
    end
end

Take MSGBOX.exe and place it in your servers folder (where config.lua and the distro is).

Now, I must tell you that I don't use TFS for testing so I'm unsure if escapeString will do as I think it does... So... You'll have to tell me if it works with texts like "'"*"*2'*"'2'2 xD

Nice, lol I googled Batch messagebox and that was the first link, did u even searched for it xD? but anyways nice script. But I think you should add Access to it or names so not everyplayer can spam the hoster xD

U only noob in google not in Lua =D!

Edit: removed my own post down lol xD

 

[Colandus]

Just added access, was supposed to do but kinda forgot xD

And actually I didn't search MsgBox, just searched "prompt batch" me r nuubz

U only noob in google not in Lua =D!

No, I didn't know it was called MsgBox lal xD
