Scripting help needed

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:

Code:

    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:

Code:

    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:

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

Code:

    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:

Code:

    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:

Code:

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

Code:

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.
