Escort event

[TheHolyWaffle]

Would it be possible to add this one in ? The speak event doesn't seem to contain the line that says 'person x has been escorted...'.

EDIT: The event should trigger whenever a dj is removed by an admin.

I don't think that is possible. Those are server messages. The API basically is interacting with the web version of TT (as I understand it).

But it's still being sent to the client, right?

[MikeWills]

Oh... you want to get that information... not send it. Sorry, my bad.

When an admin escort someone off the stage, this is what you get :

{
    "success": true,
    "command": "rem_dj",
    "roomid": "4e6851fa14169c2255108b8c",
    "user": [{
        "name": "alain_scrib",
        "created": 1315461804.92,
        "laptop": "mac",
        "userid": "4e685aac14169c225510e99d",
        "acl": 0,
        "fans": 5,
        "points": 22,
        "_id": "4e685aac14169c225510e99d",
        "avatarid": 2
    }],
    "modid": "4deadb0f4fe7d013dc0555f1"
}

So you can implement that feature like this :

bot.on('rem_dj', function(data) {
  if (data.modid) {
    escortedName = data.user[0].name;
    adminId = data.modid;
    // Do what you want with these informations !
  }
});

We could also create a new function in the api that would be used like this :

bot.on('escort', function(data) { });

data:

{
  "command": "escort",
  "user": {
    "name": "alain_scrib",
    "userid": "4e685aac14169c225510e99d"
  },
  "moderator": {
    "name": "agilbert",
    "userid": "4deadb0f4fe7d013dc0555f1"
  },
  "success": true
}

Let me know what you think about this ?

[TheHolyWaffle]

Yes, your latest post would be the exact thing I was looking for. I think this will simplify things by a lot and help out other people like me who didn't know that you could also do it with the rem_dj event.

I'm voting for this addition :+1:

I did the escort event to be an alias of

bot.on('rem_dj', function(data) {
  if (data.modid) {...}
});

So you receive the same data in rem_dj and escort events. The only difference is the command that change.

Alright, thank you :)
