[Modding API] Missing events, and better event registry.

[rater193]

First off, there are a few events that i would like to tap into, so i can implement some specific code.

 

The main thing i want, is the ability to check when a player chats and/or types commands, then return true/false to allow, or disallow the event to continue

 

Wanted event: Detect when a player chats

example:

Event.register(Events.player.onChat, function(eventData)
local player = eventData.player
local message = eventData.message

if(message=="The phrase i dont want to be displayed in chat") then
	return false
end

if(message=="/UNWANTEDCOMMAND") then
	return false
end
--Btw, i know u can just edit the galaxies admin.xml file, but i want to implement a custom permissions engine


return true

end)

 

 

 

If it returns false, then it doesnt process the event any further

 

Wanted event: Detect when a players data saves/loads, and append custom data to it

example:

Events.register(Events.player.onDataSave, function(player, data)
data.append("Refference name", "The saved bit of data")
end)

Events.register(Events.player.onDataLoad, function(player, data)
local targetdata = data.read("Refference name")
print(targetdata)
--This would print out "The saved bit of data"
end)

 

The event engine would be a lot easier to handle if we could register to events directly, and even trigger the events.
