Title: Capturing kick reason from clientside kicks
Post by: Mardeg on 05 November, 2006, 16:43:22

From Changelog - 0.3.5.2:

QuoteFixed: Missing kick message when op kick user from inbuild client kick.

Anyone done this successfully with the latest PtokaX?
My code from previous versions just looked like this:


function KickArrival(user, Data)
	_, _, kcom, knick = string.find(data,"(%S+)%s+(%S+)")
	if GetItemByName(knick) then
		local arg = GetItemByName(knick)
		if (not arg.bRegistered) then arg:TimeBan(20)
		elseif GetProfileName(arg.iProfile) == Reg then
			SendPmToNick(arg.sName, user.sName, "Client-based kick. Reason upcapturable")
		elseif arg.iProfile <= user.iProfile then
			SendPmToNick(user.sName,arg.sName, "Looks like that backfired on you. Only kick users with lower levels than yourself next time.")
			user:Disconnect()
			return 1
		end
		arg:Disconnect()
		return 1
	end

possibly as easy as changing one line? (no-one volunteered for testing):
_, _, kcom, knick, kreason = string.find(data,"(%S+)%s+(%S+)%s+(%.*)")

You could always do :

Code Select

--- Incoming string: $Kick SomeNick for being a very bad boy....|
--- the regular expression:
local nick, reason = (data:sub(1 , -2)):match("^%$Kick%s(%S+)%s(.*)$")
--- simplified...
local nick,reason = string.match( string.sub(data, 1, -2), "^%$Kick%s(%S+)%s(.*)$" )

I hope this gives you some hints :)

Umm, the order of the clientkick is fixed. You can probably use a coroutine.
