So a common problem many of us coders face with custom commands is the fact that we are limited to the variables in the Player class, we cannot add our own. Dzienny has been helpful in giving us the Player.ExtraData dictionary; however this doesn't allow us to add all kinds of variables/objects to our Player class, for example a timer.
A way around this is to create a new class, which binds to a Player object, inside this class we can add any variables we like, and then access them. You can also add your own methods. Below is the class, and below that I show you a little pointless example. Hopefully this may help people who are coding more advanced things
- Code: Select all
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace MCDzienny
{
public class CmdPlayerExtraPlugin : Command
{
public override string name { get { return "playerextraplugin"; } }
public override string shortcut { get { return ""; } }
public override string type { get { return "mod"; } }
public override bool museumUsable { get { return true; } }
public override LevelPermission defaultRank { get { return LevelPermission.Nobody; } }
public override void Init()
{
Player.Joined += (object sender, PlayerEventArgs e) =>
{
PlayerExtra addPlayer = new PlayerExtra(e.Player);
};
}
public override void Help(Player p)
{
Player.SendMessage(p, "This is a plugin, the command does nothing.");
}
public override void Use(Player p, string message)
{
Help(p);
}
}
public partial class PlayerExtra
{
public static List<PlayerExtra> all = new List<PlayerExtra>();
public Player player;
public PlayerExtra(Player player)
{
this.player = player;
if (!all.Contains(this))
{
all.Add(this);
}
}
public static PlayerExtra Find(Player player)
{
PlayerExtra toReturn = null;
all.ForEach(delegate(PlayerExtra p)
{
if (p.player == player)
{
toReturn = p;
}
});
if (toReturn != null)
{
return toReturn;
}
if (player != null && !player.disconnected)
{
PlayerExtra newPlayer = new PlayerExtra(player);
return newPlayer;
}
return null;
}
}
public partial class PlayerExtra
{
// Add your own variables/methods inside here.
public int myInt = 0;
public string myString = "hello";
public System.Timers.Timer playerTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000);
public void myMethod()
{
player.flipHead = true;
}
}
}
Here is an example of how you can access the variables and methods.
- Code: Select all
public override void Use(Player p, string message)
{
PlayerExtra pe = PlayerExtra.Find(p);
pe.myMethod();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
pe.myInt++;
}
Player.SendMessage(p, pe.myInt.ToString());
}
