check if player is online?

[acrata]

hello, I want to know if there is a function or any way to check if bot is online, because when I am using bot and my connection fails player is disconnected to the main screen and bot doesn't give any error.
Please excuse my poor English.

Don't know if there's a built-in function for this or if there are other simpler codes to do this but the code below is what I use for my script and it works.

Code: Select all

				
EventMonitorStart("CharDetect", "CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM");
RoMScript("AskPlayerInfo('put the name of the char you want to check here');")
yrest(1500)
local time, moreToCome, msg = EventMonitorCheck("CharDetect", "1")
EventMonitorStop("CharDetect")
if string.find(msg,"offline") then
-- char is offline put what you want to do here
end

When the bot gets disconnected it would usually cause an error, for it not to error that means it is probably in a loop at the time.

What waypoint file are you using at the time?
