Thread: Make every npc shout a message on command

purpose: to make every npc shout a message above its head when you type the command (message given in the command ofc)
difficulty: 1/10
assumed knowledge: c+p
tested server: whitescape pulse v2
classes modified: commandhandler/commands/client wherever your commands are.

step 1:
open the .java file that contains your command code.

step 2:
find a spot to add your new command

step 3:
add the below code to your commands on the spot you have just found:
if your commands are handled:

Code:

			if(command.startsWith("npcshout")) {
			try {
			for(int i = 0; i < server.npcHandler.npcs.length; i++) {
			try {
			if(server.npcHandler.npcs[i] != null) {
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].updateRequired = true;
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].textUpdateRequired = true;
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].textUpdate = command.substring(9);
			}
			} catch (Exception e) {
			c.sendMessage("npcslot "+i+" invalid for shouting.");
			}
			}
			} catch (Exception e) {
			c.sendMessage("command ("+command+") was invalid, please check your input.");
			}
			}

if your commands are inside client.java:

Code:

			if(command.startsWith("npcshout")) {
			try {
			for(int i = 0; i < server.npcHandler.npcs.length; i++) {
			try {
			if(server.npcHandler.npcs[i] != null) {
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].updateRequired = true;
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].textUpdateRequired = true;
			server.npcHandler.npcs[i].textUpdate = command.substring(9);
			}
			} catch (Exception e) {
			sendMessage("npcslot "+i+" invalid for shouting.");
			}
			}
			} catch (Exception e) {
			sendMessage("command ("+command+") was invalid, please check your input.");
			}
			}

step 4:
then save the file you just edited

step 5:
compile your server's *.java files

step 6:
run your server

step 7:
log in to your server

step 8:
type ::npcshout "message the npcs must shout here"

step 9:
be amazed by the result :woot:

extra:
if you want your command admin only or for you only you should know what to do and if you dont:

Code:

if (command.startsWith("npcshout") && playerRights >= 2) {

or

Code:

if (command.startsWith("npcshout") && playerName.equals("your character name") {

enjoy it
