Cross Profile Communication - CPC

[takilara]

I've made a simple package that make it convenient to "send orders" to other profiles.

Package is here:
https://github.com/takilara/cpc/releases/latest

Currently supported commands:

• #HELP - In game help
• #ALL <command> - Asks all profiles to execute the command
• #DO <command> - Asks all profiles except the current, to execute the command
• #BID <profile> <command> - Ask the speficied profile to execute the command

I hope this is of help to someone.

Nice! Works well. As a reminder you need to install this package in all profiles you'd like to be hooked up,

One more friendly reminder is that the profile name must be in one single word in order to make #bid command works.

[Vadi]

Indeed. Maybe the new getProfileTabNumber() function can be used here to specify the tab #?

I also found one strange thing while testing the code.
lets say i have the below code setup:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

sendAll("get water from bag", "give water to (profile A/B)", false)
expandAlias("#bid (profile A/B) put water in bag", false)

when fire from profile A, the code work perfectly. (profile A get water from bag and pass it to profile B then profile B put water in bag)

but when fire from profile B, somehow the #bid code is executed first in profile A then sendAll code is executed in profile B. (profile A put "water (which is none) in bag first then profile B get water from bag and pass it to profile A)

Any idea why?

I haven't tried it out, but this could be due to the use of expandAlias - I understand it's a bad habit from other clients. Try `cpc:handleCommand("big", "(profile A/B) put water in bag")` instead.

Nope it was expandAlias problem. Using cps:handleCommand result is the same
