How to make connect/disconnect messages in chat?)

[Vortrex]

For connecting: there is a clientside event called onPlayerJoin(). Returning 0 in this function will disable the built in message from appearing. Returning 1 will show the message.

This same thing goes for disconnecting, but with the clientside event called onPlayerPart().

Also, these constants in the wiki may be of some use for disconnecting:
PARTREASON_DISCONNECTED
PARTREASON_TIMEOUT
PARTREASON_KICKED
PARTREASON_BANNED

Correctly?

Code: [Select]

function OnPlayerJoin( player )
{
     Message( "Blah " + player.Name + " Blah" );
}


Code: [Select]

function onPlayerPart( player, reason )
{
     if ( reason == PARTREASON_DISCONNECTED ) Message( "Blah " + player.Name + " Blah Blah" );
     if ( reason == PARTREASON_TIMEOUT ) Message( "Blah " + player.Name + " Blah Blah" );
     if ( reason == PARTREASON_KICKED ) Message( "Blah " + player.Name + " Blah Blah" );
     if ( reason == PARTREASON_BANNED ) Message( "Blah " + player.Name + " Blah Blah." );
     
     return 1;
}

You need to return 0 in order to stop the default messages from appearing.
Also, You may stop asking Correctly? every time you make a script. Try it out and see if it works..

Also, this might be more efficient:

From this:

Code: [Select]

if ( reason == PARTREASON_DISCONNECTED ) Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Disconnected)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
else if ( reason == PARTREASON_BANNED ) Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Banned)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
else if ( reason == PARTREASON_KICKED ) Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Kicked)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
else Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Crashed)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
To this:

Code: [Select]

switch(reason)
{
      case PARTREASON_DISCONNECTED:
              Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Disconnected)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
              break;

      case PARTREASON_BANNED:
              Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Banned)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
              break;

      case PARTREASON_KICKED:
              Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Kicked)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
              break;

      default:
              Message( pPlayer.Name + " has left the server (Reason: Crashed)", Colour( 255, 0, 0 ) );
              break;
}

Don't forget PARTREASON_CRASHED.

Right, thanks man. I think somebody needs to update the wiki to add that to it.

I keep telling VRocker!

I wonder though, if it were possible to let certain community members edit the wiki too, as there a quite a few functions that need documentation (mostly client side), not to mention a lot more that need examples.

I believe to some degree registered users can. If not, you can always send me the code for a page and I can update it for you.

[Vortrex]

Yeah, maybe it would be good to have users allowed to submit a change, but without it being visible, and a mod approve it or something so it changes.

You can request edit permissions by asking any LU dev (esspecially Juppi or VRocker).
We have disabled editing of the wiki for default users for anti-spamming reasons.
