How do I get my bot to say multiple lines?

cercul1 · 2016-01-03 04:54:10

I tried just using multiple conn.Sends on different lines but in the... just look

if (msg.ToLower().StartsWith("!join"))
{
conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " Use !join followed by one of the follow zones (!join A)");
conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " A, B, C, D");
conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " Use /help if you don't know where they are on the map");
}

It only sends the first message.

You have to sleep 750 milliseconds between each message.
I think it might be even shorter.

Oh thank you

hummerz5 · 2016-01-03 05:56:56

I personally think it's longer, but I don't work here

600ms+

I personally have 650 and it works fine.

Believe it or not, but the limit is 500ms.

512ms n.n 512 is my favourite number and saves the day

Keep most of the bot communication in private messages and you won't get pwned for spam.

I was just saying to limit the amount of public chat your bot does - especially at 2 messages/sec, or it becomes spam. Keep as much as possible in pms.

Easy just do Threading

Ex:

                       conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " Use !join followed by one of the follow zones (!join A)");
                                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                                conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " A, B, C, D");
                                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                                conn.Send("say", "/pm " + players[m.GetInt(0)] + " Use /help if you don't know where they are on the map");
                                Thread.Sleep(1000);

You can put a number 500 and above for the Thread. Depends for the speed of each message you want.

Tell if this work out for you

We I already said this...

^Some might also mention that if you leave your responses on the same thread, your command could backfire. I.E.

Say you have four messages queued and four users.
These four users say "!join" four times (with 500ms delay). You're then obligated to respond with your information 16 times, with a delay of 500ms. So you're stuck 8 seconds while they're only out for two. But it gets worse.

I'm not really sure how bad it gets. But you could afford to split things up a bit. Maybe a timer.

Mentioning the above problem I'd personally suggest using signs to give the default information.
But since not everybody will read those signs, it's always good to have a help command to repeat that message, with perhaps a different help command for other commands and/or information.

Do mind you can't use the prefix "/", since that won't be actually broadcasted on the player chat, as it's meant for in-game commands. Instead use prefixes like ".", "!", "\" (reversed "\") or whatever you'd like.

Instead of posting more solutions when one that works has already been provided... *cough cough* Real_Naa2001 *cough cough* you could post ways of improving it like hummerz5. Thank you
