Some info please

[Kaoh]

I want to write a mod/moderator that will do:

Catch several events (non UT names used), like:
- player gotHit
- player landsOnFloor
- player FiresOnce
- player FiresContinues
etc.

I want this information to be send to an external app. or an activeX

and i want all original codes to continue.

So i end up with an simple logging (i know it is easyer to, but i will use it for a supprise) window or something

Is this possible? any pointers, please, i want it done by monday

by Monday . Well you'll need to start writing your own dll for UT. UnrealScript has no standard support for ActiveX/COM/OLE or what ever you want to communicate with

Dont worry about the DLL

Ok, i write the DLL tonight, and then how do i use it from UT on a i get hit event, sounds easy, well should be... you have an example?

I will start really looking at UTscript later now i first want this fast and easy

and there is nothing young about me, just impatient

Oh

Does it need to be an real DLL (C++) or is a fake one (VB) also ok?

 

[Papapishu]

Is is fake because it's written in VB?
It's an executable anyway right?
Make a program that has an accessible function, say GetLogString(string...) or something.
Compile it to a dll (I guess you know how to do.
The uscript part is that you declare a native function, like thisone:

native function GetLogString( string Text );

I don't know if you need to specify dll and so, acctually I have never done this, so I dunno much about it...
But this is the way uscript comunicates with the dlls...
These functions can then be subclassed to take care of the code the way you want it..
If you're using it in the same class, just call the function from the place where you get the text you want to log, like:

GetLogString("Hello there!");

And your dll should kick in and take care of this string...
I dunno how dlls are handled, like loading and unloading and so, but maybe there are some tutorials on this?

You'll need to have Microsoft's Visual C++ 6, and the 432 Header files, you can get 'em from http://unreal.epicgames.com

ok, tnx both of you, i will try to find some info how to attach the dll to the script, and i will be on my way.

tnx
