Hud output depending on side choosen

Hi chaps,

just a quick and dirty question. Is it possible to generate output text using GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter depending on the side you are flying on (multiplayer mission).

Example: If you fly red and a submission starts, red pilots would see a message ie. "64 Squadron patroling west of Rye" whereas a blue pilot would read "Enemy formation spotted west of Rye". Something along that line.

Cheers

yes its possible, i've made two methods for this case:

See Code at
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...8&postcount=41

usage:

sendScreenMessageTo(1, "test to red", null);
sendScreenMessageTo(2, "test to blue", null);
sendChatMessageTo(1,"test to red", null);
sendChatMessageTo(2,"test to blue", null);

to give additional Information for null you can use "new object[]{ object})
example:
int redpoints = 20;

sendScreenMessageTo(1, "Red has {0} Points", new object[]{ redpoints });

Thank you very much for examples, Kodiak. I have a few questions before I can actually use it.

What is ArmyAll? Why don't you use it in the 1st example? Does this parameter exist in the game engine or I just type it in instead of 1 or 2? Why don't I just type "null" or say "-1" instead?

Can army be = 0 i.e. a message to those who did not select an army yet.

How can Localized messages http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26444 be integrated into these scripts? I do not what international players to read Cyrillic text as well so can it be e.g.

Code:

if (ru version) Russian text

else English text?

Thank you for all the help you provide on scripts.

Oh sorry ArmyAll is -1, just copy the methods from a script i made and forgotten to change this.

normally i use
const int ArmyAll = -1;
const int ArmyRed = 1;
const int ArmyBlue = 2;
at the beginning of my scripts.

have corrected the script so if you want send a Message to All you can use
sendChatMessageTo(-1, "Test To All", null);
sendScreenMessageTo(-1, "Test To All", null);

for your localized messages you can use
sendChatMessageTo(-1, GetLocalizedMessage("ru", "Hello"), null);

Does "ru" here mean that the message will be sent only to owners of a RU version?

But what to do if I want to send same message to everyone but in 2 languages? Will this do?

Code:

sendChatMessageTo(-1, GetLocalizedMessage( , "hello"), null);



private string GetLocalizedMessage(string lang, string key)

{

   switch(key)

   {

      case "hello":

      {

         if lang = "ru"

         {

            return "Привет!";

         }

             else         

         {

            return "Hello!";

         }

      } break;

   }

   return String.Empty;

}

Isn't "hello" a key that corresponds to both "Привет!" and "Hello!" ?

No your GetLocalizedMessage does nothing else then "translate" the hello in the language you specify.

There is a way to send a message to a player in his language.
The Player object contends a method called LanguageName()

so for remoteplayer you can use:

Code:

foreach (Player pl in GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers())

        {

           if  (pl.LanguageName().Equals("de"))

           {

               GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[]{pl}, "Hallo", null);

           }

           else if (pl.LanguageName().Equals("ru"))

           {

               GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { pl }, "Привет!", null);

           }

           else GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { pl }, "Hello", null);

        }

Will integrate this in my script tomoro, now its time to relax ;)

@all
can you please test your language Version with:

Code:

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using maddox.game;

using maddox.game.world;



public class Mission : AMission

{

    public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)

    {

        base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);

        

        GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, "\n\nYour language: {0}\n\n", new object[] { player.LanguageName() });

    }

}

german is "de" (tested myself)
english is "en" (not tested)
russian is "ru" (not tested)
so can anyone with this language version check this for me?

But i think the best is to add a option to
private void sendChatMessageTo(int army, string playerlanguage, string msg, object[] parms)
so it will be possible to use
sendChatMessageTo(1, "en", "Hello", null);
so it will send it only to the red players with english language version.

Tomorow ;)

So integrate player language:

latest version:

Thank you so much! This is the piece I was missing.

Tested Russian is "ru"

ps. The only thing which is not included now is separate messages to bombers and to fighters. IIRC there are 2 types of bombers: Bomber and DiveBomber. Are there several types of fighters too? Is HeavyFighter belong to Fighter type or it is a separate type?

Possible are:

AircraftType.DiveBomber
AircraftType.Bomber
AircraftType.AmphibiousPlane
AircraftType.TorpedoBomber
AircraftType.Transport
AircraftType.BNZFighter
AircraftType.Fighter
AircraftType.Glider
AircraftType.HeavyFighter
AircraftType.JaBo
AircraftType.SailPlane
AircraftType.Scout
AircraftType.Sturmovik
AircraftType.TNBFighter
AircraftType.UNKNOWN

So the only way is to test all playable planes with
GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, "AircraftType: {0}", new object[] {(actor as AiAircraft).Type()});

Example

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

public class Mission : AMission
{
public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);

GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, "AircraftType: {0}", new object[] {(actor as AiAircraft).Type()});
}
}

and so test which type a plane can be and then divide it into groups.

oh wow! Thanks guys.

I'll give it a try and let you know how it worked out. Be advised that it may take some time 'cause I'm new to this stuff. It's like learning to ride a bike - might break a few bones in the process.

Thanks a million again!

Cheers
