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:

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.
