AI script: processing chats

[DylanDog]

Hello

I am working on DyDo to add chat message capabilities and I have not been able to find anything in the AI manual . I have obviusly looked at the WZ ai script and I have found there how to process the chat messages but I think you should put someting into the AI manual too.

I have made a web search and have found this:

Code: Select all

  VOID  processChatMsg { STRING string }
  Process STRING string.

  STRING getChatCmdDescription { INT index }
  Returns a string representing a certain chat command,
  based on the command index provided.

  INT getNumArgsInCmd
  Returns number of command arguments for a certain
  chat command that could be extracted.

  BOOL getChatCmdParam { INT commandIndex, INT paramIndex }
  Returns a certain parameter of a certain chat command.
  Returns FALSE if failed.

  BOOL chatCmdIsPlayerAddressed { INT commandIndex, INT player }
  Returns true if a certain command was addressed to a certain player.

This could be outdated...

Could you add this info (it is a wiki page)? You see, you probably know the AI script code better than any of the currently active developers...

I know, not quite the answer you wanted...
