Introduction
This is just a simple event system, ideal for RPG servers as it doesn't have teleportation commands or whatnot. That's about if for the introduction, see the video for more information on how it works and how to use it in the game. You don't need to put any credits for me, it took me 10 minutes to do as a quick addition to my own server. I have used sscanf2 and ZCMD for this, but you can optimize it for your own needs.
Commands available
/event - View the information of an existing event, anyone can use this command.
/e - Speak on the event organizer's chat, you can only use this if you're the organizer of the event, only the event organizer can use this command.
/cancelrequest - Cancel an outstanding event request you have, anyone who has requested an event can use this command.
/stopevent - Stop an event that you're hosting, only the event organizer and RCON admins can use this command.
/requestevent - Request to host an event, must be approved by admins before it being published, anyone can use this command.
/acceptevent - Accept an incoming event request, only admins can use this command.
** NEW ** /rejectevent - Reject an event that was submitted, with a given reason, only RCON admins can use this command.
** NEW ** /pendingevents - Shows a dialog of a list style where you can see the outstanding events that have been requested, this includes the player, the player's ID and the requested event's title, only RCON admins can use this command.
** NEW ** /checkevent - A bit like the command /event, but with this command you can check the details of the event before it being accepted. Only RCON admins can use this command too.
Installation of the script
First thing you want to do is to add the global variables, so put the following at the top of your script:
Second thing, under OnPlayerDisconnect add the following code:
For our third step, we'll be adding the commands
Fourthly, just add the stocks that I've used here, i.e. the Comma stock. Credits to whomever made it, I forgot...
Now, that'll be done. Just go into the game and test it out. I know some of the code is pretty bad for a good scripter, but I did do it in 10 minutes and now I need to go out.
