Hey everyone,

 

I’m working on a small script that would,, send a simple message in faction chat only,  no spam, no automated gameplay actions, just a basic message drop (e.g., a player’s name).

 

Just wanted to know if something like that is considered legit or not?

 

Of course, no public chat involved, nothing that spams or plays the game for anyone, just a way to assist :)

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I am confused a bit about the rules too and whether something is in a grey area so I'd love to hear a response. To me it sounds like it might be breaking the "have to be manually triggered" part, but there's some scripts that do automatic stuff too like filling out fields.

JESUUS [2353554] · #5

That’s exactly what I was thinking too.

There are scripts, for example, that let you buy 100 beers in one click —

that’s still a form of automation, right?

Kwack [2190604] · #6

No, as it is one single request dispatched on a user input, not 100 chained requests.

 

That's what the automation rule really means - if you're submitting a request to torn (or by extension, sendbird) then it must be a direct consequence of a user input, and one input per request.

 

You could make a button to send something in chat, and make the user press it yes. But without that button press or binding it to some user input, it is illegal

JESUUS [2353554] · #7

Yes but in this case, the user would click a button in the faction window, for example, on an icon, and that would send the person’s name into the chat.

Illegal, or not?

 

I find it a bit ambiguous. :)

I was considering building something to send a message in faction chat with a chain drop warning, discord notifications will have to do!

You can set up all kinds of buttons linked to various messages and then just press them. I use it for recruiting, and for snippets of stuff I regularly have to repost into faction chat. You can have different buttons set up for different kinds of chats. And you can use variables like {name}, {faction}, {company} etc that will auto-complete with the relevant text.

 

It's legal because all it does for you is the typing, and all interactions with torn (which in this case is just pressing enter in chat) are still done manually.

And now I get this button on all personal chats:

And pressing it plus enter does this:

Sending on the press of the button would be easy to add, but I hadn't added it since I believe that would be against Torn's scripting rules ("typing" a message + sending it in one click)..typing doesn't send any request to Torn so maybe I'm wrong, but I prefer to remain vigilant
