m.Type == "k" Always True???

So I have a bot that does something when you collect a crown. Unfortunately, no matter what, when the bot enters, everything under m.Type == "k" triggers, even though no crown exists in the room or on anyone. I'm extremely confused; what do I do?

You need to read userid. Should be like -1 which mean none have the crown.

No, because he said this:

everything under m.Type == "k" triggers

Capasha's probably right. Just preface it with:

if (m.GetInt(0) == -1)
    return;

That'll just stop the function if it's a "nobody has the crown" message.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Well, I figured he screwed up his code so bad that he had "everything" "under" that line.
But I could see how the -1 ID makes more sense.

WRONG! You should ignore the first "k" you get. "k" on join is not always going to be -1, it could even be an invalid ID of a user that has left the room before you!

I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

Shouldn't you still need to know who has the crown originally? (I'm sure there are some uses for it)
I mean, you can always ignore it if the given ID isn't one that's currently applyable.

No, OP says:

The crown is not collected when your receive your first "k".

Re: m.Type == "k" Always True???

your argument makes sense, if he's got code for doing magical "wow you won" crap, but he joins late, so the "wow you won" is totally out of sequence.
yap
