Adding An Account Tag
This is originally written by Jeoku I am just posting it here at his request and i think it is a good thing to have out for it helped me out.
Alright, I'm going to go through this step by step...
1. Define your Account instance...
Where "mob" is an instance of a mobile, this is how you define its account as "myAccount". You HAVE to cast "mob.Account" as an "Account" type, otherwise it'll give you an error.
2. Create a tag on "myAccount"...
This function, unlike Account.AddTag, checks to see whether or not a tag with "Name" already exists (and modifies it if it does, rather than duplicating it). "Name" is what you use to find the tag when you want to retrieve your information, and "Content" is the string of information that you can store. Of course you can replace "Name" and "Content" with what you want.
3. Read a tag on "myAccount"...
Now, if a tag named "Name" has already been added to this account, myString will return its content (in the above case, "Content"). If this tag does not exist, it will return -null-.
4. Remove a tag on "myAccount"...
This removes ALL tags named "Name" from "myAccount". If you used
"myAccount.AddTag(...)" (multiple times) instead of "myAccount.SetTag(...)", it will remove every single instance of an account tag named "Name".
5. Utilizing an AccountTag...
You can put this into a simple script (when you doubleclick on a custom item, perhaps) and see what it outputs (where "mob" is you).
