Finding info about players

[Zagor]

Hi these are probably two dumb questions, but I would like to know how many players are connected (and who) in real time. Is it possible somehow?

Moreover, as Admin I would like to find the exact location (room id) in which a player is.
For example if I use the command search I get the player id but not its own location.

Is there a way to get that?

Thx!

The command 'who' will list who is online (and maybe their location,
can't remember).

Also :

Give yourself (the superuser #1) an alias.
( alias me = fartpants )
The code I am giving you below assumes that I (the superuser) have the
alias "fartpants".
I use MUSHclient 99% of the time, but copy/pasting this into the
webclient should work, too.

What the code is doing is :
- starting a python snippet
- importing the 'search_object' code
- searching for "fartpants"
- searching for "character" objects
- finding the object (character) name, location and strength (you
could replace obj.db.strength with any other db attribute on the
character object. 'strength' is just used here as an example)
- return a message to "fartpants" (the superuser) with the above info
regarding each "character"

I hope that makes sense.
If you need help, just ask.
Try messing around with this code, too, to return different info about
different objects, etc, etc.

Copy / Paste it straight into MUSHclient.
All the lines. Hit ENTER. Win !

@py/edit
from evennia.utils.search import search_object
for fartpants in search_object("fartpants"):
for obj in search_object("character"):
string = ("\n%s |r: |n%s |r: |n%s" % (obj, obj.location,
obj.db.strength))
fartpants.msg(string)
:!
:q!

Due to shitty email formatting the line :

string = ("\n%s |r: |n%s |r: |n%s" % (obj, obj.location,
obj.db.strength))

should be :

string = ("\n%s |r: |n%s |r: |n%s" % (obj, obj.location, obj.db.strength))

As mentioned, the `who` command gives this info. To

As a database query: 

    from evennia import AccountDB

    number_of_connected = AccountDB.objects.filter(is_connected=True).count()

To find out the location of a character, `who` will tell you this if you are a builder or higher. Inside a command you can get this info with e.g.

     def func(self):

        matches = self.caller.search("Foo", global=True)

        if matches:

            location = matches[0].location

As a general search you can use

    from evennia import search_objects

    character_as_list = search_objects(typeclass="typeclasses.characters.Character", key="Foo")

    if character_as_list:

        location = character_as_list[0].location
