Listening Patterns help...

[Legacy_Xardex]

               Well... I go near the object with the scripts below and type something but...

OnSpawn

void main()
{
    SetListening(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);
    SetListenPattern(OBJECT_SELF, "**", 69);
}

OnConversation

void main()
{
    int nMatch = GetListenPatternNumber();    // *
    if (nMatch != 69) {return;}    // *
    object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
    string sHeard = GetMatchedSubstring(0);
    ...
}

*Are these two lines even necessary, as the string that was typed would be checked later if it matches something?

oPC and sHeard return OBJECT_INVALID and ""
oPC is obviously supposed to be the PC who said something and sHeard the string that was typed.

Any help appreciated...

               No need for return...

Use one if...

if(nMatched == 69)
{
   //Do something here...
}

Also

string sHeard = GetMatchedSubstring(0);  

What exactly is 0 ??

Obviously oPC will fail because the script is being stopped with the return;
(This is most likely why the script is failing)

               I would have to do some testing to see if the GetMatchedSubstring(0);  works as advertised in the lexicon or not.  I dont't have the time at the moment.  In the mean time you may want to look at the thread below.


SetListening() . . is it only for NPCs?

               The object is actually an NPC, I dont know why I said object.

OnSpawn

void main()
{
    SetListening(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);
    SetListenPattern(OBJECT_SELF, "**", 69);
}

OnConversation

// Get the string that was typed...
string GetString();
string GetString()
{
    string sString;
    int iN = 0;
    int iMax = GetMatchedSubstringsCount();
    while(iN<iMax)
    {
        sString = sString+GetMatchedSubstring(iN);
        iN++;
    }
    return sString;
}

void main()
{
    int nMatch = GetListenPatternNumber();
    if (nMatch != 69) {return;} //Also tried commenting this line out, didnt work
    object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
    string sHeard = GetString();;
    if (sHeard == "asdf") {GiveGoldToCreature(oPC, 555);}
    else {GiveGoldToCreature(oPC, 1);}
}

It seems the OnConv. script wont fire at all..
And I read the lexicon about GetMatchedSubstring and man, it doesn't make the least bit of sense to me. <><>

               Nevermind, the whole 'listening' system seemed too complex for the gain anyway.

Using this at module OnChat now (and it works!)

void main()
{
    // Variables
    object oPC = GetPCChatSpeaker();
    string sText = GetPCChatMessage();

    if (GetSubString(sText, 0, 1) != "!") {return;}

}

Thanks for the help!

               One other thing i Forgot to state last night is:  You should be useing GetLastSpeaker From the OnConversation Event.  Use GetPCSpeaker from a conversation.
