Chat commands?

is it possible to do chat commands

specificly a kick command

something like

if chat.text = "/kick"&str(USER_NAME)

kick peer with UserName

but how would I get the ID from their name

I know there is a PeerAliasFromID(peerid)

but wouldn't I need PeerIDFromAlias(Alias)

to do something like this?

In part 2 you will get sufficient idea to make pm possible with chat commands.

I think it is possible to convert it to a kick command. I'm still learning though.

I don't understand

it doesn't go into any details

I need the ID to kick someone I can't do it with just the alias

I guess you should first make sure that there can't be multiple peers with the same alias.

Then you can juste create an array or a dictionnary to create associations between peers ID and alias.

So you can know the ID from alias.

is there a tutorial on this?

I am trying to code this fairly blind

;_;

Read the tutorial I have suggested. I have referred to a manual, where it has lined up 4 multiplayer tutorials links. One can't do this blindly...

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/906/mu ... oom/page-1

On page 4 it states no player will have the same alias. Quote from age 4 of the tutorial:

[Note that if the requested alias is already in use on the signalling server, it may simply assign you a new alias. For example if two people login as "Joe", the second person actually gets the alias "Joe2". ]

I recommend to start from here https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/892/mu ... 1-concepts

Yes I know I have read these tutorials.

I meant a tutorial on commands which this does not cover.

this is only a tutorial on adding a chat system not commands.

it only references you can add commands in the conclusion.

but it doesn't go into any detail

I already have a multiplayer chat program set up.

I just need to know how to add these command

I know how to detect a string for the command just not execute it via their nickname

Let me clarify

I'm basically trying to use player aliases to kick them
