TrinityCore-Multi Welcome Announcer OnLogin

[Sylica]

Today I like to share a small script I made, while being bored programming class.

Its a simple function that welcomes new players on login to the world, then greets existing players on return to the world.

/*
 *  @script made by Sylica
 *  @project name: Project Firestorm
 */

#include "ScriptMgr.h"
#include "Player.h"
#include "Chat.h"

class welcome_player_message : public PlayerScript
{
public:
    welcome_player_message() : PlayerScript("welcome_player_message") { }

    void OnLogin(Player* player, bool firstLogin) override
    {
        std::ostringstream message;
        if (firstLogin)
        {
            message << "|cff3ADF00Please welcome " << player->GetName() << " to our server!|r";
            sWorld->SendGlobalText(message.str().c_str(), nullptr);
        }
        else 
        {
            message << "|cff3ADF00Glade to see you back " << player->GetName() << "!|r";
            ChatHandler(player->GetSession()).PSendSysMessage(message.str().c_str());
        }
    }
};

void AddSC_onlogin_announcer()
{
    new welcome_player_message();
}

Been getting questions on why 'nullptr' is erroring on compile. This script is originally for c++-11, where nullptr is supported. For older compiler, change 'nullptr' to 'NULL'.

Support:
Windows Support: MSVS 2012+
Linux Support: gcc & g++ 4.6.1/4.7.1

Why do you check if playtime < 2 instead of using the first login variable?

You can add a firstLogin function to the script, in most cases. This is checking for play time though. Since I made this my class project, got a lot of feed back on what to use.

*Glad not glade
Thank you for release !
And ye, first login variable would be more logical

I have to agree on it, but for most projects I tested it on, it doesn't work since that function doesn't exist. I mean, they can change it that way if they want.

the best would be to check how first login cinematic works and do it that way i think
But how you said, yea everyone is free to edit script how they wan't

Login cinematic uses the same stuff as the firstLogin boolean.

It does use the same function, but cinematic is far from complete. Anyways, yes I do allow anyone to edit the script.

I might make more scripts to share over time.
