I'm totally new to modding scripts.dll and new to c++. I followed many of these tutorials and now I think i know the basics of c++

To improve my not very developed skills I'm trying to make my own server side scripts...

I want to add my own custom commands...
I added this line to the scripts.dll (i know it's cheating but it's only to try it Smile

)

 else if (stricmp(Msg2,"!setcash <player> <amount>") == 0)
{
// code
}

So if you say in teamchat "!setcash DodgeThis 800" it will set the cash of player DodgeThis to 800
Now i want to include that it only executes the code if it is me who said it, and that it works on the <player> with the <amount>

Does anyone knows how to do this?

I thought by myself it was something like

else if (stricmp(Msg2,"!setcash <player> <amount>") == 0 && strincmp(Get_Player_ID(sender), DodgeThis)
{
// code
}

oh thanks ^^ forgot some little things Satisfied

but now.. i assume that you HAVE to type "!setcash <player> <amount>" and the whole code is not working if you type "!setcash friend1 100"

sure... since youre doing a strcmp against "!setcash <player> <amount>".. so it will check exactly this. <*> is no placeholder or something Razz

you could check if the string begins with !setcash and then parse the "params" by yourself, for example via strtok or something like that.

I think you should learn a little bit more about C++, and about
programming in general. how to compare strings and why it
does not automatically replace <player> and <amount>.

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life
