[question] m.Type

http://capasha.com/eeinformation.php is a very useful website because it has a list for many of everybody edits stuff. 

im not very good with all the correct code using ee info so

# team - UserID joins a team
[0] <Integer> UserID
[1] <Integer> Color, Sheet-List: Disabled = 0, Red = 1, Blue = 2, Green = 3, Cyan = 4, Magenta = 5, Yellow = 6

how would you go about using this for a "if a user becomes a team color do {what ever code i want}"

it may be something like

 
if (m.Type == "team ")
            {
                if (m.GetString(1) = 5)
                say("hello");
            }
            

or maybe its nothing like that at all.

Re: [question] m.Type

case "team":
      {
             if ((int)m[1] == 5) // if user's team is magenta
                  con.Send("say", "Hello world!");
      }
break;

# Means what m.Type or case "": is
[0] means the number that goes inside the "()"
<Integer> means the type the "m.Get" is

You have m.GetString(1) which is wrong as in the website, it's stated as an Integer.
There's also a space after 'team' which shouldn't be there; Here's a sample of what it should look like:

if(m.Type == "team")
{
if (m.GetInt(1) == 5)
{
conn.Send("say", "hello");
}
}

Re: [question] m.Type

Most coders that know what they're doing use a switch statement rather than lots of ifs to check for different message types:
http://www.dotnetperls.com/string-switch

Like so:

switch (m.Type)
{
   case "team":
      if (m.GetInt(1) == 5)  //If you use m.GetString() to retrieve an integer, it'll crash.
      {
             //Something
      }
      break;
}

And "//Something" will run every time someone joins the magenta team.

Please don't make any assumptions.
Everybody has their own style of coding.
I personally prefer if-statements because I can collapse those (without using ugly block comments).

Re: [question] m.Type

Here's a tip:

#region Collapsible Region which can be given any name
   Code
   Code
   Code
   Code
   Code
#endregion

A switch beats if/else if you're using more than 5 message types.

Re: [question] m.Type

thanks everyone. i got it.

if (m.Type == "team")
            {
                switch (m.GetInt(1))
                {
                    case 1:
                        con.Send("say", "Fire");
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        con.Send("say", "Water");
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        con.Send("say", "Grass");
                        break;
                    case 5:
                        con.Send("say", "Dark");
                        break;
                    case 6:
                        con.Send("say", "Light");
                        break;
                }
            }

that's what I meant with ugly block quotes
I hate useless comments, even though it's only when it's unfolded.
But yes (mostly with strings) a switch is way faster when you have a decent amount of cases, but this isn't really an argument on the program size you work here.
Pretty much no bot really needs such kinds of optimizations since it's practically impossible to make such a big bot (maybe if you'd make a REAL full-scale RPG where EVERYBODY could play simultaneously and the bot is to monitor multiple rooms).

I hate collapsing if-statements by themselves, just looks weird.
