if statements

[bulldogg]

how would if statements work with plugins, if i wanna have something happen when a certain player say enters a system. id use the EnteredSystem notifier (unedited shown below)

public override void EnteredSystem(EnteredSystem notification) {
UniverseCustomChat.Fire(
0x0000FF01, // bright red, bold
string.Format(
"{0} just entered {1}.",
notification.PlayerName,
GetSystemName(notification.System)
)
);
}

this is how i think id do it but it doesnt seem to work, not sure if i should use cases or just a simple if

public override void EnteredSystem(EnteredSystem notification) {

if (notification.PlayerName =="[PLAYERNAME]" {

UniverseCustomChat.Fire(
0x0000FF01, // bright red, bold
string.Format(
"{0} just entered {1}.",
notification.PlayerName,
GetSystemName(notification.System)
)
);

}
else {

}

}

this doesnt do anything, i make a char and put the charname in the [PLAYERNAME] slot and load it up in flac, when i jump system nothing happens

It works exactly like that, do note that string comparing is case sensitive in the example you posted and that you're missing a close brace immediately after the boolean expression. That would give you compiler errors though so easilly spotted I should think.

You can always echo the contents to screen and/or stream them to debug.log for debugging purposes.
