A command.

[mrspiicyy]

I'm just asking if theres a command similar to !rolldice but instead, it takes all the igns of the players in the map and randoms one out then broadcasts it to the map.

http://forum.ragezone.com/f566/rolldice-command-767507/ < something like that but with names.

There is no such command, since a release of such a command isn't always useful to everyone (or a lot of people). But it is possible to code it.

Here is my idea of how your code should work for this command:

1) First, get the the characters in the map.
2) Store the characters names in a data structure.
3) Afterwards, create the randomization process for an index in the array that is to be printed out, and then print out which index was selected randomly.

PS: For the data structure, I'd recommend an array. However, if the randomization process is looking for a player that isn't there, then allow it to randomize again, until it finds a player that is within the map. And when it does, print out the IGN.

Sorry i'm new to coding, how do I do this?

I don't want to spoonfed you, but I'd recommend you to read a Java tutorial, and this code snippet should help you a bit.

// This part was written by Veda. It was taken out of the thread that you linked to.
public void mapMessage(String message) {
for (MapleCharacter map : getPlayer().getMap().getCharacters()) {
map.dropMessage(message);
}
}

} else if (splitted[0].equals("randomplayer")) {
            for (MapleCharacter chr : player.getMap().getCharacters()) {
                player.mapMessage("The player picked was: " + );
            }

I dont know what to add into randomizer.java

bump.

I've already told you how I'd implement the code, and as I stated earlier, try to pick up some Java before attempting this. Anyways, I've decided to comment the code for you, so you have a basic idea of what you are doing.

'//' are code comments. These are ignored by the compiler, and is meant for human use. So that developers can comment the code and others can pick it up to see what they are doing.

i know that.. I just don't know how to add in the function where it randomizes the player's name

} else if (sub[0].equalsIgnoreCase("randomplayer")) {
            List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
            for (MapleCharacter chr : player.getMap().getCharacters()) {
                list.add(chr.getName());
            }
            String[] availableChar = list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
            int chosenChar = Randomizer.rand(0, availableChar.length);
            player.getMap().broadcastMessage(MaplePacketCreator.sendYellowTip("The chosen player was " + availableChar[chosenChar] + "."));

thanks so much
