Why do some commands work, while others don't? Is it something to do with the SDK, my coding, or a plain C# glitch?
Please help.

The max character limit for messages is 80. Try shortening the messages and try again.
[Edit] The most recent update allows for messages over 80 characters.

And yes, it is case-sensitive.

Could do something like TextParser in SkyLight.
Then can people do what they want. With the 80 length limit.

I added something a bit simpler (but it has the same effect):

                 if (s.Length <= 80 && s.Length > 0) {     this.C.Send("say", s);     Thread.Sleep(this.Bot.SpeechDelay); } else {     // Say what you can.      this.Say(s.Substring(0, 80));      // Delete what you just said.     s = s.Substring(80);      // Repeat the process.     this.Say(s); }

Is there a better, more compact way to write something like this:

public static void Explode(int x, int y)         {             Block fire = new Block(BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD, x, y);             MyBot.Push.Build(fire);             fire = new Block(BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD, x + 1, y);             MyBot.Push.Build(fire);             fire = new Block(BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD, x - 1, y);             MyBot.Push.Build(fire);             fire = new Block(BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD, x, y + 1);             MyBot.Push.Build(fire);             fire = new Block(BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD, x, y - 1);             MyBot.Push.Build(fire);         }

It's been a while since I've worked with C# (shame on me) so the syntax may be skewed, but here you go:

This takes advantage of two things: the Out.Build(List<Block>) function, and the ability to declare a list with elements.

public static void Explode(int x, int y) {     int goldId = BlockIds.Blocks.Metal.GOLD;     List<Block> fireBlocks = new List<Block>() {         new Block(goldId, x, y),         new Block(goldId, x + 1, y),         new Block(goldId, x - 1, y),         new Block(goldId, x , y + 1),         new Block(goldId, x, y - 1)};     MyBot.Push.Build(fireBlocks);  }

That saved you two lines and a bunch of characters.

skullz17 · Before February 2015

I have another question, how do I check for player collisions with a block?

Tomahawk · Before February 2015

That's pretty hard to do...

I guess you could check whether the player taps a key next to the block. But, other than coding a movement engine that predicts a player's position from the last "m" packet received, it's not that possible.

skullz17 · Before February 2015

Also, whenever I try to make a command only work for the owner, it never works. I've tried different ways of doing it - checking the name, checking if the player is the owner, but it never works for me.

I'll look into that.
And Tomahawk is correct about the collision detection - the only way that would be possible is if someone emulated the entire physics engine. I don't have the time or patience to do that.
[Edit] Works just as I expected. Message me/post your code and I'll see what's wrong.
[Edit] Okay, if you match the player objects, it won't work. Use the Player.Name property. For example,

if (chatArgs.Speaker.Name == myRoom.Owner.Name) { }

instead of

 if (chatArgs.Speaker == myRoom.Owner) { }

Tako · Before February 2015

Thanks to gustav, Skylight now has accurate player coordinates!

This is a big deal. This opens the door to so many great things that were previously impossible. For example, you can make two players explode upon touching each other. If that doesn't sound like the coolest thing then get out of my face.

Buzzerbee · Before February 2015

I just had to.

Tako · Before February 2015

thank u for ur contribution

Skylight is constantly being improved, by the way. If you haven't downloaded in a while, I would recommend you update.

Hexagon · Before February 2015

Hey Tako, I think this library is definitely useful. I made a few changes to how authentication works so it might break the example in the forum post. Hope that my change didn't mess up anything though (Decagon).

I like most of the changes you made, but one thing I don't understand is the removal of the ability to have multiple bots.

I will have to manually add a lot of these changes because Git is not cooperating with me today.

Hexagon · Before February 2015

Oops, completely missed that! (I didn't want to remove that functionality; hope it doesn't interfere with anything). What I might have been thinking was to make the user instantiate a new Bot() for every room that they would like to join (I hope that was implemented correctly).

Have you implemented precise x and y into skylight? If so how to use? c:

I realize that this question isn't directed at me but there is precise x and y (up to the maximum precision by the server, which is to the 8th decimal place). Depending on your uses, you may want to look into the tick event in the PlayerEventArgs class. However, I've made a few changes (which are pending on the GitHub repo) which shouldn't change this functionality but I'll have to confirm that.

I've already explained the answer to Jaba but I want to answer it in public in case anyone else had a similar question.

Any time you access the variables Player.X, Player.Y, Player.BlockX, Player.BlockY, they will be precise.

If you want to respond once they enter a certain area, you must subscribe to the In.TickEvent as I did in the example in the OP.

Por ejemplo:

// ... MyRoom.Pull.TickEvent += RegionChecker; MyBot.LogIn(); MyBot.Join(); // ...   // ... public static void RegionChecker(PlayerEventArgs e) {     int x = e.Subject.BlockX,          y = e.Subject.BlockY,         lowerBoundary = 100,         upperBoundary = 110,         leftBoundary = 20,         rightBoundary = 30;      bool isInside = x > leftBoundary && x < rightBoundary && y > upperBoundary && y < lowerBoundary;      if (isInside)     {         // ...     } } // ...

From what I've heard it's something to do with calling a static or something.

Yes, there's no good reason your variables should be static anyways. Remove the static modifier from your room and bot and initialize them on Load or someplace.

That makes way more sense, sorry for the mushy brain.

This was an accidental bug that was fixed within a few hours of its creation. I guess you cloned it during the short period of time it was there.

There error was caused by some typo in the .csproj file. It couldn't locate PlayerIOClient, and stopped the program before it even started.

Static has nothing to do with it. Although, it shouldn't matter. As long as you stay within Form1.cs, that is.

Update your version of Skylight and it should be fixed.

Also I don't know who stickied this topic. I just wanted to say it wasn't me, because that would be kind of arrogant.
