[HELP] Plugin coding... >.<

[volicio]

I'll be the first to admit I generally dont have a clue what I'm doing. Sure I can look at the code of other peoples plugins and understand what they do and why, but I dont have the training or the knowledge to really write stuff of my own. That being said, I'm starting to think I've bitten off more then I can chew here trying to write my own plugin to toggle HB on and off on a keystorke.

What I'm Trying to do is something like this:

If (IsKeyDown(Pageup) && (honorbuddy.IsRunning)
{
	dLog("Stopping Bot");
	TreeRoot.Stop();
}
ElseIf (IsKeyDown(Pageup) && (honorbuddy.IsNotRunning)
{
	dLog("Starting Bot");
	TreeRoot.Start();
}

Its late and my VSC# doesn't want to load and I'm pulling this stuff off the top of my head, so most of that code is so wrong its kinda scary... but It gets the idea across... I'll try and update it a little later. The only problem is that the only two references I have for calling a keystroke are old and don't seem to work anymore.

look up hb toggle ...!!

 

[volicio]

I have, HB toggle is one of the two outdated references I talked about... Highvoltz hasn't supported it in over 6months and the code he used was for HB1 and doesn't seem to work at all with HB2

volicio, join irc and when apoc or one of the other Coders are on, maybe you can catch them (if they don't respond here)

its #honorbuddy on quakenet server

thanks spud... looking at this, is your hotkey set to v? where it says IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys vKey)

 

[Azathoth1]

vKey is short for VirtualKey

Keys Enumeration

Example

// Utilizing the Vkey for the Space bar
System.Windows.Forms.Keys((char)Keys.Space));

 

[volicio]

thanks I'm learning a lot... more so now since someone gave me all the answers in a working plug-in... I don't know the deal on posting such things I didn't make... so for now I'll keep it and just use it to teach myself how to write my own without just copy and pasting it all.

 

[spudstar999]

what did you tried to build up?! just a plugin to stop hb?! or a plugin which realize keystrokes?

maybe you can post your plugin in the hb toggle thread and give shout outz to the people which should be mentioned!
