Is there any way to parse a single word from a string?

In this case, I'd like to be able to set up a script in player_say.cfg that will test the string output of player_say for a word, such as "gravity", and execute a command.

For an example, the script, in it's very basic form, would currently look like this:

if (event_var(text) equalto "Marco") then ma_say "Polo!"

I want to be able to extract Marco from anywhere in anything someone says, so instead of saying:

Marco

to get the result of the console running the command to show 'Polo!', someone would be able to say:

"What does marco do?"

...to get the same result.

Any way this is possible?

Thanks for any help.

The best you'll find is using es_token for this sort of thing at the moment. There's no other way to do this that I know of.

You can search for the string with es_token by slowly incrementing what token you're checking (perhaps maxing-out at 10 tokens), or you could even write an alias loop to handle it. Unfortunately, I don't know of a clean way to handle it better at the moment.

I don't know how to use tokens to do this, but I understand what you're saying and I'll learn how to use it to give it a shot.

Thanks for the quick reply - and thanks for the EXTREMELY useful plugin.

I'm sorry if this is total n00b, but after reviewing the documentation on defining tokens I'm still a bit hazy.

So far I've written this out as a test in player_say.cfg:

setinfo word1 0
setinfo word2 0
setinfo word3 0
es_token word1 "event_var(text)" 1
es_token word2 "event_var(text)" 2
es_token word3 "event_var(text)" 3
if (word1 equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo"
if (word2 equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo"
if (word3 equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo"

Tokens are defined as <variable> <string> <token#>, so I have the variable as word1, the string as the text players type, and the token# is progressing to test each word as you said. I haven't defined a seperator, since obviously it'll be the default of space.

In my mind, this is creating a variable "wordX", defining the variable from the string, then testing that variable to see if it's equal to "marco".

It doesn't work, though, and I've already tried a few variations of this. I just don't have the experience it takes to spit one of these out.

I'm going to keep trying different things, and I'm sure I will eventually figure it out... but do you think you could give me any pointers to speed me along?

Thanks again,

What's the SDK's functions that allows you to "see" what a player is saying?

for example :

.:KPS:.Dygear : Hey what's up KingPin.
.:XFX:.KingPin : Hey the chat is working, that's good.
.:KPS:.Dygear : Yea it looks like you know what your doing, but it only looks that way. :P.

Would that all be handled by one function? That function would be called one time for each time a client sends chat text. I do hope it's in an array. Any way, could ya tell me what that function is.


On a side note, we need to setup a wiki, eather here on the SourceMod.net, or I could make it on my own website. Going to send a PM to BAILOPAN now about that.

You can get it to spit back exactly what is pulled from event_var(text) by using es_msg, which expands variables. Try this in player_say.cfg:

es_msg event_var(text)

[ajax]

try this...

if (server_var(word1) equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo" if (server_var(word2) equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo" if (server_var(word3) equalto "marco") then ma_say "Polo"

HA! I had JUST gotten to this step about 5 minutes ago.

It's perfect for the test I was doing. Now I just need to plug in the actual variables I was going for...

Thank you!

Excellent. I've got this part of the project working perfectly.

...and now I know how to use tokens as well. ;)

Thanks for your help, guys.

Great news! Exactly the sort of thing I love to see.

Sorry my answer above was so terse, but I was completely exhausted from many late night researching binges on this plugin. I went immediately to bed after posting. (I'm surprised I was coherent enough to help.)

Good job, and sorry again for such a short/sleepy response,
