Player finding, stringArray2string & chat

Hello, I just wanted to share some useful functions with you that I made.
I hope they are useful
If you use those in your plugin, credit me please (Comment in plugin, in plugin overview)

Code:

        //--------------------------->   Player finding   <---------------------------//        BasePlayer GetPlayer(string searchedPlayer, BasePlayer executer, string prefix)
        {
            BasePlayer targetPlayer = null;
            List<string> foundPlayers = new List<string>();
            string searchedLower = searchedPlayer.ToLower();
            foreach (BasePlayer player in BasePlayer.activePlayerList)
            {
                string display = player.displayName;
                string displayLower = display.ToLower();                if (!displayLower.Contains(searchedLower))
                {
                    continue;
                }
                if (displayLower.Contains(searchedLower))
                {
                    foundPlayers.Add(display);
                }
            }
            var matchingPlayers = foundPlayers.ToArray();            if (matchingPlayers.Length == 0)
            {
                SendChatMessage(executer, prefix, "No matching players found!");
            }            if (matchingPlayers.Length > 1)
            {
                SendChatMessage(executer, prefix, "Multiple players found:");
                string multipleUsers = "";
                foreach (string matchingplayer in matchingPlayers)
                {
                    if (multipleUsers == "")
                    {
                        multipleUsers = "<color=yellow>" + matchingplayer + "</color>";
                        continue;
                    }                    if (multipleUsers != "")
                    {
                        multipleUsers = multipleUsers + ", " + "<color=yellow>" + matchingplayer + "</color>";
                    }                }
                SendChatMessage(executer, prefix, multipleUsers);
            }            if (matchingPlayers.Length == 1)
            {
                targetPlayer = BasePlayer.Find(matchingPlayers[0]);
            }
            return targetPlayer;
        }        //---------------------------->   Converting   <----------------------------//        string ArrayToString(string[] array, int first)
        {
            int count = 0;
            string output = array[first];
            foreach (string current in array)
            {
                if (count <= first)
                {
                    count++;
                    continue;
                }                output = output + " " + current;
                count++;
            }
            return output;
        }        //---------------------------->   Chat Sending   <----------------------------//        void BroadcastChat(string prefix, string msg)
        {
            PrintToChat("<color=orange>" + prefix + "</color>: " + msg);
        }        void SendChatMessage(BasePlayer player, string prefix, string msg)
        {
            SendReply(player, "<color=orange>" + prefix + "</color>: " + msg);
        }        //------------------------------  by LaserHydra  -------------------------//

 

You could probably just use .ToString() on your array to get the same result..

 

didnt test that, also with my function you should also be able to say it should start at a specific member. for example mainly for getting a message. If you want to do /say <player> <message>, then you gotta use 1 as the 2. argument of the function as that is the arg where the message begins.

 

Don't loop player list 2 times. Just how it's can be done (maybe not the best, but...):

Code:

        List<BasePlayer> FindPlayer(string find)
        {
            find = find.ToUpper();
            var NamesList = new List<BasePlayer>();            foreach(var ply in BasePlayer.activePlayerList)
                if (ply.displayName.ToUpper().Contains(find))
                    NamesList.Add(ply);            return NamesList;
        }        void SomeFunction()
        {            var list = FindPlayer("Name");
            if (target.Count == 1)
                //list target[0] is your player
                list[0].ChatMessage("Hello!");
            else if (list.Count == 0)
                player.ChatMessage("Can't find player with this name!");
            else
                player.ChatMessage("Found multiple players: " + list.Select(ply => ply.displayName).Aggregate((name1, name2) => name1 + ", " + name2)); // Also you can use -> String.Join(", ", list.Select(ply => ply.displayName));
          
        }

 

or better yet:

Code:

List<BasePlayer> FindPlayer(string find)
{
    return BasePlayer.activePlayerList.Where(p => p.displayName.IndexOf(find, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0);
}

 

I just advanced it as much as I could, so you don't need to set all the messages extra. As you see my function also send messages and stuff

 

Oh I was just talking about the first function, the one that gets the player matches.

 

you mean the PART of the function

 

Sorry I was quoting Bombardir's version of the code, hence the confusion

So yes, if referring to your code it would be part of the function.

 

yeah I was a bit confused ^^
