How to check if player is in group

[chmuun]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to check if some one is in group ... and i tried using this to check if the person's group is a raid group but it makes the server crash:

if(pvpPlayer->GetGroup()->isRaidGroup())
{
   //If player is in a raid group
}

Thank you

You first have to check if he's in a group, AFTER checking that you can check the grouptype (isRaidGroup() in your case) otherwise it will run the check for raid group even when the player is not in a group

if(pvpPlayer->GetGroup() && pvpPlayer->GetGroup()->isRaidGroup())
{
   // Do something
}

Can you also tell me how to Send a global announcement

I tried

ChatHandler chatGlobal = ChatHandler();

char victimglobalmessage[1024];
snprintf(victimglobalmessage, 1024, PVP_COLOR"%s lost a %u kill, killing spree by %s! Extra [%s]x5 is rewarded!", pvpVictim->GetName(), OldVictimKillingSpree*10, pvpPlayer->GetName(), "Badge of Justice");
chatGlobal.SendGlobalSysMessage(victimglobalmessage);

But it gives an error:

Error 2 error C2248: 'ChatHandler::SendGlobalSysMessage' : cannot access protected member declared in class 'ChatHandler' e:\\Aaam\\Source Code\\src\\game\\Player.cpp 20371

std::string message;
message = put your text here; // you could use a config from mangosd.conf for this (hope you know how )
if (message) // this check is only needed if you used a config for it.. if it's not set it will give a false here... if this check wouldn't be here and the message is empty it will crash
{
       WorldPacket data(SMSG_NOTIFICATION, (message.size()+1));
       data << message;
       sWorld.SendGlobalMessage(&data);
}

or more advanced way:

 std::ostringstream msg;
 std::ostringstream pvpVictimName;
 std::ostringstream pvpPlayerName;

 pvpVictimName << pvpVictim->GetName();
 pvpPlayerName << pvpPlayer->GetName();

 msg << pvpVictimName .str().c_str() << "lost a" << OldVictimKillingSpree*10 << "kill, killing spree by" << ... << ... << "]";
 SendWorldText(LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE, msg.str().c_str());

note that you have to finish the 2nd one... i wont do everything for ya

Thanks ... The easiest way is to make a function in Chat.cpp and Chat.h to run the protected function

only thing you forget is that it has a reason to be in "protected" otherwise it wouldn't have been there
