So this is my first public release of anything Pawno related.

This is a communication Bridge between any GameMode and NPC.

Installation

ON YOUR GAMEMODE:
After your includes:

#define SECRETCODE "!:S3cr3tC0d3:!" // Insert your secret code here, this allow communication to the NPC's, make it safe since it can be used in chat or anyone can control any bot!!!!, Consider it as a rcon password!
#define TOTALCHARS 14 // Total chars of the Secret word, sorry cant use sizeof :(
#include <npc_bridge> // Our include.


ON YOUR NPC:
After your includes:

#define SECRETCODE "!:S3cr3tC0d3:!" // Insert your secret code here, this allow communication to the NPC's, make it safe since it can be used in chat or anyone can control any bot!!!!, Consider it as a rcon password!
#define TOTALCHARS 14 // Total chars of the Secret word, sorry cant use sizeof :(
#include <npc_bridge> // Our include.


In the end of your script:


public OnClientMessage(color, text[])
{
ClientMessageBridge(text); // Call the function needed.
}



Usage:
Run a command trough your gamemod:
NPCMessage(<NPC ID>, "<SYNTAX>", "<COMMAND HERE>");

Examples & Current available commands:

NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "This is a sample SendChat", "SendChat"); // SendChat("This is a sample SendChat")
NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "/mycommand", "SendCommand"); // SendCommand("/mycommand")
NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "2 square", "StartRecordingPlayback"); // StartRecordingPlayback(2,"square");
NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "StopRecordingPlayback", "StopRecordingPlayback"); // StopRecordingPlayback();
NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "PauseRecordingPlayback", "PauseRecordingPlayback"); // PauseRecordingPlayback();
NPCMessage(NPCIdHere, "ResumeRecordingPlayback", "ResumeRecordingPlayback"); // ResumeRecordingPlayback();

Cool

[BlackFoX]

But it is Wrong Section i think :D

[Whiteagle]

Oh this is old :P

This is here since the pre-beta for developers, when SA:MP 0.3 was still a dream for us mortals.

This was in fact posted over the 0.3 stuff but with the changes this got lost here :)

Going to report to get moved to FS & Inc's.

Thanks guys ;)

Seems like the easiest system around for NPC communication but I can't get it to work when using YSI, more specifically (I believe) its foreach that is causing the problems. I am running some tests now to see if I can't figure out exactly why.

[Edit] Out I figured out the problem, it has to do with the way foreach determines if something is a bot (SendChat) and since this include uses that it broke foreach. Since I am not using this feature (I only want it for the playback features) I was able to comment those sections out and everything is compiling fine now.
