Scripting help needed

[wildwillie]

I need help with a couple of scripts for the stats/server manager program I am working on.

1st I need to check every 5 seconds to see of there is any commands in the queue to be processed. I have the queue stuff setup, just need the timing stuff. This is what I have so far based on examples I have seen, but it needs the timer number correctly:

public override void OnTickGame()
{
if (Time.tickCounter() % 5000 == 50)
{
if (stats != null )
{
newCmds = stats.getCommands();
if (newCmds.Count > 0)
ProcessCommands(newCmds);
}
}
}

The next is for sending messages to the HUDlog. I would like the ability to send messages to (All players, All players in army 1(Red) or army 2(Blue), or a specific player) This is what I have so far:

private void ProcessCommands(List<ServerCommand> newCmds)
{
try
{
foreach (ServerCommand sc in newCmds)
{
if (sc.CommandType.Equals("HUDmsg"))
{
if (sc.ToWho.Equals("All"))
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(sc.Command);
else if (sc.ToWho.Equals("Red"))
// Send message to Red Team
????
else if (sc.ToWho.Equals("Blue"))
// Send message to Blue team
???
else
{
// Message is for a specific player based on player name in string sc.ToWho
????
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Stats.ProcessCommands - Exception: " + ex);
}
}

Any help is appreciated,

WildWillie

@wildwillie:

To send a message to a specific army (1 red, 2 blue, -1 to all)

private void sendScreenMessageTo(int army, string msg, object[] parms)
{
List<Player> Players = new List<Player>();

// on Dedi the server or for singleplayertesting
if (GamePlay.gpPlayer() != null)
{
if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Army() == army || army == -1)
Players.Add(GamePlay.gpPlayer());
}
if (GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() != null || GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers().Length > 0)
{
foreach (Player p in GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers())
{
if (p.Army() == army || army == -1)
Players.Add(p);
}
}
if (Players != null && Players.Count > 0)
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(Players.ToArray(), msg, parms);
}


private void sendChatMessageTo(int army, string msg, object[] parms)
{
List<Player> Players = new List<Player>();
// on Dedi the server:
if (GamePlay.gpPlayer() != null)
{
if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Army() == army || army == -1)
Players.Add(GamePlay.gpPlayer());
} //rest of the crowd
if (GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() != null || GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers().Length > 0)
{
foreach (Player p in GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers())
{
if (p.Army() == army || army == -1)
Players.Add(p);
}
}
if (Players != null && Players.Count > 0)
GamePlay.gpLogServer(Players.ToArray(), msg, parms);
}

sendScreenMessageTo is for HUD messages
sendChatMessageTo send the message to the chat

to use
following sends a HudMessage "Hello red" to red Army
sendScreenMessageTo(1, "Hello red", null);
to all
sendScreenMessageTo(-1, "Hello all", null);

if you want show values etc. you can use
int redpoints = 100; //example value
sendScreenMessageTo(1, "Hello red, you have {0} points", new object[]{ redpoints});
so red gets the message "Hello red, you have 100 points"


to a specific player:

private void sendChatMessageTo(Player player, string msg, object[] parms)
{
if (player != null)
GamePlay.gpLogServer(new Player[] { player }, msg, parms);
}

private void sendScreenMessageTo(Player player, string msg, object[] parms)
{
if (player != null)
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, msg, parms);
}



for timing i use Stopwatch from.net, ontickgame is not very exact.
example:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;


public class Mission : AMission
{

Stopwatch MissionTimer = new Stopwatch();

public override void OnBattleStarted()
{
base.OnBattleStarted();

MissionTimer.Start(); // start the stopwatch

}



public override void OnTickGame()
{
base.OnTickGame();


if (MissionTimer.Elapsed.TotalSeconds >= 50) // 50 seconds
{
MissionTimer.Restart(); // stopwatch reset to 0 and restart

// Do something
}
}
}

Another solution, based on the example above

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;


public class Mission : AMission
{
/// <summary>
/// Returns a list of all users
/// </summary>
private List<Player> GetPlayers()
{
var result = new List<Player>();
if (GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() != null)
{
result.AddRange(GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers());
}
if (GamePlay.gpPlayer() != null)
{
result.Add(GamePlay.gpPlayer());
}
return result;
}

/// <summary>
/// Returns a list of all users of specified army
/// </summary>
private List<Player> GetPlayers(int army)
{
return (army < 0) ? GetPlayers() : GetPlayers().FindAll(player => player.Army().Equals(army));
}

/// <summary>
/// Sends a message to the screens of all users of specified army
/// </summary>
private void BroadcastScreenMessage(int army, string format, params object[] args)
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(GetPlayers(army).ToArray() , format, args);
}

/// <summary>
/// Sends a message to the logs of all users of specified army
/// </summary>
private void BroadcastLogMessage(int army, string format, params object[] args)
{
GamePlay.gpLogServer(GetPlayers(army).ToArray(), format, args);
}

public override void OnBattleStarted()
{
base.OnBattleStarted();

BroadcastScreenMessage(1, "Your army color: {0}, your side: {1}", "Red", "Allies");
BroadcastScreenMessage(2, "Your army color: {0}, your side: {1}", "Blue", "Axis");

BroadcastLogMessage(1, "Big group of german {0} heading to {1}.", "Bombers", "London");
BroadcastLogMessage(2, "Group of our {0} need to cover in their raid to {1}, rendezvous point at sector {2}.", "Heinkels", "London", "G9");
}
}

Thank you for the quick replys. I'll work them in later this weekend.
