Chat Bot

This is a simple chat bot style template I use to provide an interface to the commands I want to run. You just need to change PLAYER_NAME and BOT_NAME. I use it by whispering to myself, for example:

Code:

/w westmalle, bishop get virtues

You could easily change it to listen to other chat channels by changing the line with 'Private' in it. You could then change it to listen to anyone or a list of people other than just PLAYER_NAME.

Code:

local PLAYER_NAME = "Westmalle"
local BOT_NAME = "bishop"

local function ShowVirtues()
   ConsoleLog(string.format("Courage: %s", GetStatValueByNumber(317)))
   ConsoleLog(string.format("Love: %s", GetStatValueByNumber(318)))
   ConsoleLog(string.format("Truth: %s", GetStatValueByNumber(319)))
end

local last_msg = ""
function ShroudOnConsoleInput(type, player, message)
   if player == PLAYER_NAME and message ~= last_msg then
      local _, _, cmd = string.find(message, "^.*%[Private%]: "..BOT_NAME.." (.*)")
      if cmd == "numstats" then
         ConsoleLog(string.format("Number of stats: %d", GetStatCount()))
      elseif cmd == "dumpstats" then
         ConsoleLog(string.format("dump list of stats"))
         for i = 1, GetStatCount() do
            ConsoleLog(string.format("%d - %s = %s", i, GetStatNameByNumber(i),
                                     GetStatValueByNumber(i)))
         end
      elseif cmd == "get scene" then
         ConsoleLog(ShroudGetCurrentSceneName())
      elseif cmd == "get clock" then
         ConsoleLog(os.time())
      elseif cmd == "get virtues" then
         ShowVirtues()
      end

      last_msg = message
   end
end
