EN Getting client from name

[Ron]

Hey, writing a script right now that uses a command.

!command <Client-Name> <Message>

But I don't really know how to get the the client info (where I can also related to mode, clientUid, clientID, etc) from the name.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

For that, you need to be in the 'Chat' Event

sinusbot.on('chat', function(ev) {
sinusbot.log(ev.clientId);
});

Nah you didn't get me, I know how to create a command, but I want to be able to target people. For example:

!command maxibanki

And then be able to do something to you.

Thats not available you need to make substring or Split by spaces but thats more complicated

Obviously splitting it to get the username by itself, but is there no way to get a client info from the name in the current API? couldn't find any documentation.

You could iterate all channels and subchannels in search of that nickname string, when you found the position of desidered user, you can get informations about that client.
For more information go on your sinus dashboard, then go on help, and Scripting. You can find a documentation in that section.

Code snippet

var c = sinusbot.getChannels();
        for (var i = 0; i < c.length; i++){
            for (var j = 0; j < c[i].clients.length; j++){
                // do something
            }
        }

That should do it. Thank you @xDefcon. Also I was used to the Help tab not having anything I forgot about it

Hey, 2 questions. With this code:

function findClientFromName(clientName) {
    var allChannels = sinusbot.getChannels();
    var foundClient    = 'nothing';
  
    for (var i = 0; i < allChannels.length; i++) {
        for (var = j = 0; j < allChannels[j].clients.length; j++) {
          
        }
    }
  
    return foundClient;
}

The plugin doesn't launch and isn't even recognized. Why's that?

Also what does allChannels.clients[j] represent? An ev array like all the other functions?

Cheers.

Never mind. Turns out I did my bit wrong.

Ready function for future visitors:

function findClientFromName(searchName) {
    var foundClient    = 'N0TH!NG';
    searchName         = searchName.toLowerCase();
    allChannels          = sinusbot.getChannels();
  
    allChannels.forEach(function(channelInfo) {
        channelClients              = channelInfo['clients'];
        channelClients.forEach(function(clientInfo) {
            clientName               = clientInfo['nick'];
            clientID                    = clientInfo['id'];
            clientUID                  = clientInfo['uid'];
            clientServerGroups    = clientInfo['g'];
          
            clientNameParse        = clientName.toLowerCase().split(" ")[0];
          
            if (clientNameParse == searchName) {
                foundClient        = {
                                    name: clientName,
                                    id: clientID,
                                    uid: clientUID,
                                    groups: clientServerGroups
                                };
            }
        });
    });
  
    return foundClient;
}
