custom plugin events and working sqlite explorer

Custom plugin events ?
Well i managed to to this tonight after 3~4 hours of trial & error, as i'm totally noob with this new object orientated programming thingy. hopefully we get official support for plugin events for final version of manialive, as this can be ground breaking

for example i did a custom event for onCopperDonation...
you need to do new event class onCopperDonate.php

it has the class as following:

Code: Select all

namespace [define the namespace here for autoload]

class onCopperDonate extends \ManiaLive\Event\Event
{
	protected $login;
	protected $amount;
	
	function __construct($login, $amount)
	{
		$this->login = $login;
		$this->amount = $amount;
	}
	
	function fireDo($listener)
	{
		call_user_func_array(array($listener, 'onCopperDonate'), array($this->login, $this->amount));
	}
}

at CopperDonate.php you add this new class

Code: Select all

use ManiaLive\Event\Dispatcher;
use ManiaLivePlugins\MLEPP\DonateCoppers\Events\onCopperDonate;

and at the point, when you want the event to happen, command

Code: Select all

Dispatcher::dispatch(new onCopperDonate($login,$amount));

Then to the plugins where you want the event to happen...

Code: Select all

use ManiaLive\Event\Dispatcher;

function onInit() {
     if ($this->isPluginLoaded('MLEPP\DonateCoppers', 0.1)) {
	Dispatcher::register(\ManiaLivePlugins\MLEPP\DonateCoppers\Events\onCopperDonate::getClass(), $this);
      }	
}

function onCopperDonate($login, $amount) {
$this->sendChat("Hahaha, plugin interaction, and so $login gives $amount of coppers!");
}

Sqlite Browser for sqlite 2.1
The program version must be this 1.1, which is ancient, but it is freeware and works with manialive database.

Congrats reaby it's almost this. you have understood how it works, but this is just a way to be more efficient
Just something to optimize your code. With this Event, you have to create one class for each event you want to fire. It's just a bit painful (you'll see ) What I recommend, is inspired of our usage of Event.
Create an Event class in your namespace with different constants, for example in \ManiaLive\ Data\Event we have:

Code: Select all

const ON_PLAYER_NEW_BEST_TIME = 1;
const ON_PLAYER_NEW_RANK = 2;
const ON_PLAYER_NEW_BEST_SCORE = 3;

Each constant is a particular event. To fire them, we use the following method

Code: Select all

function fireDo($listener)
{
	$method = null;
	
	switch($this->onWhat)
	{
		case self::ON_PLAYER_NEW_BEST_TIME: $method = 'onPlayerNewBestTime'; break;
		case self::ON_PLAYER_NEW_RANK: $method = 'onPlayerNewRank'; break;
		case self::ON_PLAYER_NEW_BEST_SCORE: $method = 'onPlayerNewBestScore'; break;
	}
	
	if ($method != null)
		call_user_func_array(array($listener, $method), $this->params);
}
