\/\/i hope you guys liked my previous scripts,for we shall be coding in GML. if you experince errors in the compiler
\n \/\/like, “PROGRAM ENDS BEFORE END OF CODE” it means you have one too many programs. other than that lets get
\n \/\/started shall we? this script is about players and handling with them. because its soo short we will
\n \/\/throw in some more commands on messages.<\/p>\n
\/\/to see how many players are on a session,along with a certian name, you would do the following:
\n {
\n mplay_player_find();
\n mplay_player_name(a_number);
\n }<\/p>\n
\/\/note that in order to do this you MUST use mplay_player_find(),else it will not work.<\/p>\n
\/\/to find the ID of that certian player,use the following code
\n {
\n mplay_player_find();
\n mplay_player_id(a_number);
\n }<\/p>\n
\/\/now onto messages.messages are pre-programmed strings the will be sent to a player instance.
\n \/\/but enough of that! lets get programming! lets start on a personal message sent to a player.
\n \/\/it would look like this: (use 0 to send it to all players)
\n {
\n mplay_message_send(player,id,message);
\n }
\n \/\/to make sure its sent to it,you would use the following code:
\n {
\n mplay_message_send_guaranteed(player,id,message);
\n }
\n \/\/this next code will have you “recive” messages from other players: (use 0 for any message)
\n {
\n mplay_message_receive(player);
\n }
\n \/\/now we can tinker with this abit.the next following code can be used to do diffrent things with the message:
\n {
\n mplay_message_receive(player);
\n mplay_message_id(); Returns the identifier of the last received message.
\n mplay_message_value(); Returns the value of the last received message.
\n mplay_message_player(); Returns the player who sent the last received message.
\n mplay_message_name(); Returns the name of the player who sent the last received message.
\n mplay_message_count(player); Returns the number of messages left in the queue from the player (use 0 to count all message).
\n mplay_message_clear(player); Removes all messages left in the queue from the player (use 0 to remove all message).
\n }
\n \/\/there you have it! if your eager to see more code ill be happy to show you just simply post a comment
\n \/\/down below and ill see how it goes!<\/p>","time":"July 28th, 2012 11:30 am","title":"even MORE about multiplayer (players & messages!)"}
