Hello. I'm new the C++ scene. So I figure I'd give it a whack. Well, let's start off with something basic. How would I make a simple command? Such as, 'if' someone says 'that' it does stuff. Any help is appreciated greatly.

Ok, first you need to change the way FireEvent is handled in the Source:MM example. If you dont want to, you can use the method provided.

Bascially, without actually handing you the code im going to explain the steps so you can search the SDK for answers and hopefully learn a few things along the way.


You need to use IGameEventListener2::AddListener to add a listener for player_say. Then, using any examples you can find, inside the FireGameEvent function, after you have confirmed the event is player_say, you need to check if

if ( FStrEq( event->GetString( "text" ), "that" ) )
{
       // do stuff
}

Add your own error handlers, this is just a basic walk through...

If you have any questions, just ask we are here to help, I didnt give you the exact code because you will learn much more from having to find the answers than just copying my code =)

Heres a tutorial for making a simple command so that when a user enters "hello" into the console the mod responds and says "hi".

to add a command we put the code in the ClientCommand function. so all this code goes in the ClientCommand function b4 RETURN_META.

first we need to check if the user has entered the command "hello" so we use this code:

const char *cmd = m_Engine->Cmd_Argv(0);
 
if(!strcmpi(cmd, "hello"))
{
  // the user has typed hello into the console
}

now this has made it so when the user enters hello in the console it does the code between the { and }

next we want it to say something back after we say hello so put this code between the { and }

m_Engine->ClientPrintf(pEntity, "hello player");

so combined the code is

const char *cmd = m_Engine->Cmd_Argv(0);
 
if(!strcmpi(cmd, "hello"))
{
  // the user has typed hello into the console
  m_Engine->ClientPrintf(pEntity, "hello player\n");
}

now compile and test the mod and when you say hello in the console it says hello player in response. and remember this code goes in the ClientCommand function.

I thought he said he wanted to check if the player said hello....

In that case you'll need to embed a voice recognition module into your plugin to handle the raw sound stream being sent between players.

:p

Ahh... trickery.

Here's some quick programming tutorials:

Although I personally recommend you go buy a book on C++.
