Ok...This code is for MS4, and what is does is if a admin with level 4 or higher access types "/kill (playernamehere)" they die, and get warped back to the starting area. I love MS4, it made making this code easier than it would have been in last MS. Anyway...

Difficulty: 1/5

::Client Side::

In modGameLogic under the following code:


Add this:


Then in modEnumerations under the following code:


Add this:


::Server Side::

In modHandleData at the bottom, but before "End Sub" and "End Select" add the following code:


Then in modEnumerations under the following code:


Add this:


All done!

I tested this out, and it worked perfectly. If you find any problems or errors, I'll be more than happy to try to resolve them for you.

*update*

If you want it in button format use the code below. Just change the "Txtchar.Text" part to whatever text box name you want it to get the name of the player you want to kill.

Add this code rather than the "/kill" code above. Make sure you add ALL the other code in the tutorial above, you have to add everything else and it'll work.

Why would it need to be elaborated any? It sends the player right to the starting area, X, and Y. Just like how I want it, people can specify another map, X, and Y if they wanted of course...

Oh, I thought you meant something else. My mistake.

This is just a simple version of the code, I might post variations of it like based on level and PK status like you suggested.

Nice. Glad to see people writing up tutorials again.

Thanks, I'm glad you find it useful.

Another nice tutorial

So, lets say I wanted to add this to a button macro, and then type the users name in a textbox, called txtchar, and then push the kill button, and it will kill the char... How would I go about this. (If that makes sense)

Basically you want it like Elysium Diamond has their Warp Me To command in the Admin Panel?

If you want it like that, I'll try to figure out a way to do that tonight.

If it helps, this is what I'm trying to do, only with your /kill command

_________________

You should be able to do this...Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as to I haven't tested this out, sense I'm working on something else at the moment. But I'm pretty sure this'll work...



Then you just need to add the CKillPlayer into the modEnumerations of course, and add all the code in my tutorial to the server. Then it should work...Tell me if it does. =D

It says "You cannot kill yourself" It's targeting me, because theres no way to make it link to the textbox. Thats all I need to know, is how to make it link to the textbox, rather than mytext.

EDIT: This worked:

Oopsie, meant to put that in there. Just forgot to. xD

Regardless, your idea lead to me getting it. So thanks!

No problem, thanks for showing interest. =D

I updated the first post with the button code for in the future if someone wants it that way.

I found an error with this code. When you type /kill (playername), the text doesn't submit through, though the command executes. Along with the error, I found a fix. Replace the old /kill code with this.



*bows*. I'm so 1337

Should work too

I've never gotten the point of VbNullString, anyone care to explain?

Ask Lea about the technical stuff. From what I understand though, vbNullString is faster than using "". They also seem completely interchangeable.

vbNullString is a constant provided by VB6 that represents a null (empty) string.

I see, thanks. So basically in that code its saying:

Mytext = Nothing?
