 |
|
Ok so i made a game for MSN, but things are going weird!
im sure this is because of variables being shared by all open conversations.
-----------------------
my $var = 'A';
....
sub Message {
....
if ($message =~ /^set_to_A$/i ){
$var = 'A';
}
if ($message =~ /^set_to_B$/i ){
$var = 'B';
}
}
------------------
Now when i run the bot and someone opens a conversation and sets the var to A, the var will be A to all conversations.
I want the var to be independent and unique to all conversations, how do i do this?? |

you could add it to the $self hash...
$self->{var} = "A";
that would make it only the current convo.. |

Sometimes (with the newer MSN's especially) sockets are closed after only so many seconds of not chatting.
You can make a global user variables hash, declared like this:
| Code: | | our $userdata = {}; |
(in your main bot's code, probably)
And you could store data per user. In the MSN Message handlers you get the user's e-mail (usually $user or $client or something)... to store info under that user:
| Code: | | $userdata->{$user}->{var} = 'value'; |
Where "var" is whatever your variable name would've been (without the $) and "value" is the variable's value, of course.

If you use $self then it will be deleted when the conversation is over. If you use a seperate hash you will have to delete it on your own.
