TalkAction [TFS 0.2.6] /parrot

[SaLeM]

Hiya!

Here you have a very comical script which will let you talk THROUGH any player xD:

First:

Type this into your data/talkactions/talkactions.xml file:

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

Then, go to data/talkactions/scripts/ and create a .lua file called parrot.lua. Within it, paste this using Notepad or any text editor:

local idgroup = 5   --Min Group Access

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	if getPlayerGroupId(cid) < idgroup then
    doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You aren't allowed to use this command")
  elseif param ~= "" then
    if string.find(param, ',') ~= nil then
      local sep1 = string.find(param, ',')
      local param1 = string.sub(param, 1, sep1-1)
      local param2 = string.sub(param,sep1+1,string.len(param))
      local target = getPlayerByName(param1)
      
      if target == FALSE then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "A player with that name is not online")
      elseif param1 == "" then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You must type a player")
      elseif (param2 == "") then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You must type some text")
      elseif words == "/parrot" then	
        player = getCreatureName(target)
        text = param2
        doCreatureSay(target,text,1)
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, player.. " has said: "..text)
      end

    else
      doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "Wrong format: /parrot \"Player,Text")
    end
  else
    doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You must type a player and some text")
  end
end

Where:

idgroup

is the minimun group id to use this command.

Then, ingame, type this to make a player say whatever you want:

/parrot "playername,text

If you find any bug, just tell it to me.

What if playername contains a - character?

 

[SaLeM]

Then, you have a problem XD. What separator you suggest me to use? (someone that cannot be used as name)

 

[Mark]

I suggest using , as separation character.

 

[SaLeM]

yea, maybe in this script. But in scripts with more than 2 parameters, a comma will not work, since may be commas in that parameters. Then I could use as separator a double comma (,,).

But yes, on this script a comma is Ok, since only the first comma matters.

Basically a TFS /makesay? Cool enough, though I won't use it.

Never heard about a /makesay command, but if it means what I think it means, yes it is. It'll just make any player say everything you want.
