Custom Console Commands

[deltagi]

I was wondering how you could implement custom console commands, such as typing /rules the console will bring up all commands. Or if you guys have any better ideas on how this could be done thanks!

There is something out there already I think it runs a loop that checks text, so !rules would then trigger a script that shows the rules. I looked for it a few days ago but couldn't find it if anyone knows where it I would love a link.

you could make a script that gets input from the chat like

_chat = _display displayCtrl 28;

_text = ctrlText _chat;

 

if(_tex in ["/rules"]) then {

systemChat "====Rules====";

sleep 0.5;

systemChat "No Haxors";

sleep 0.5;

systemChat "No camping safezones";

sleep 0.5;

systemChat "Kill me";

sleep 0.5;

systemChat "Love infiSTAR";

};

should work. you will need to double check the displayCtrl number for the chat box because I can't remember, if I find out ill update the post

[deltagi]

do you know where I would put that bit of code? under a SQF or?

[DeanReid]

Yeah just put it into a file and execVM in init.sqf

Fixed a typo for ya Dean

 

_chat = _display displayCtrl 28;
_text = ctrlText _chat;

while {alive player} do {
if(_text in ["/rules"]) then {
systemChat "====Rules====";
sleep 0.5;
systemChat "No Haxors";
sleep 0.5;
systemChat "No camping safezones";
sleep 0.5;
systemChat "Kill me";
sleep 0.5;
systemChat "Love infiSTAR";
};
sleep 1;
};

that still didn't work, no errors but it didn't recognize the text at all.

is there a already made file in compiles.sqf to use?

If you haven't already, then  I believe you are going to have to loop that if conditional.  I would suggest trying to add it into a while loop that's conditional is always true.

_condition = true;

while {_condition} do {

// if condition then execute code

};

[Edit] Never mind, I just realized that Gr8 had already mentioned using a while loop.

Also, if you have Infistar AH, then I would just suggest attempting to add in new commands to the AH.sqf.  Just open up the file, hit ctrl+F, search for "dance," and you will see all of the commands.  That would probably be your best bet.
