Thread: Basic TEMPLATE for using rcon to issue command on players

Hey guys

I have decided to post up a simple script that people can use which acts as a template for those wishing to create their own punishment type or rcon based commands onto players.

Examples such as:

• Kill the player
• Random change players name
• Reset score

Basically the script below is blank atm and does not do anything, it is up to you to fill in the blanks to suit your needs.

////// TEMPLATE FOR RCON COMMAND ON PLAYER
// USAGE:
// rcon CVAR <clientnum>
// This is for single commands on players ONLY, no values to be passed EXCEPT playerID

main:

if(level.customcommand1)     /// Change number as you go
end

level.customcommand1 = 1    /// Again change number to same as above

local.cvar = "test"         /// << THIS IS WHERE YOU CHANGE IT TO YOUR GIVEN CVAR YOU WISH TO USE

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
while(1)
{
setcvar local.cvar ""

while(getcvar local.cvar == "")
wait 1

local.num = getcvar local.cvar

local.player = waitthread convert local.num

    if(local.player != 0 && local.player != NULL && local.player != NIL)
    {
       thread command local.player
    }
    else
    {
    println("--Error - No such player --- ")
    }
}
end

convert local.num:
for(level.who = 1;level.who <= $player.size;level.who++)
{
    if($player[level.who].entnum == int(local.num))
    {
    end $player[level.who]
    }
}
level.who = -1 //no such client
end 0
//////////////////////////////^^^^^ DO NOT CHANGE ^^^^^//////////////////////////////////////////////

command local.player:

///////////// THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD THE CODE THAT YOU WISH TO USE ON THE PLAYER
///////////// PLAYER IS local.player

end

Not everyone understands how to use client admin system, let alone reborn events. Also SH and BT servers can't use reborn.

I agree that for reborn servers and people who understand it, the server command event is perfect, but unfortunately not everyone can.
I redid my punishment mod to use it aswell.

Also for FYI I am currently updating the wiki aswell so the documentation will be on there aswell.

I will see how i go, still getting used to the mediaWiki syntax but should be able to, ill let you know

RyBack/PE,

Could you give an example template of what this would look like with the scmd event and isAdmin validation??

servercommand local.player local.command local.args:
	if (local.player == NULL || local.player == NIL) {
		end;
	}
	if (local.player isadmin) {
		exec global/admin.scr::servercommand local.player local.command local.args;
	}
end;

Thanks, that part looks straight forward enough. I'm not sure how something like a punishment would work with this though. In the script you posted above (zap), local.player is the player sending the command. In PE's initial post, local.player is the player the action is being taken upon. How would I go about taking action on a player with the scmd event? Just something simple for example, like forcing a player to join a team.
