Update Matchbot to simultaneously challenge multiple squads - YES/NO

[Twenty Four]

I was thinking about trying to get implemented an upgrade to Matchbot when challenging squads.

Right now you'd have to do something like:
:Matchbot:!challenge Dark:4
:Matchbot:!challenge Sk8:4
:Matchbot:!challenge Fierce:4
:Matchbot:!challenge Sweet:4
:Matchbot:!removechallenge Sweet

Instead I was thinking we could have a function where Captains could setup several list.
Let say the Captain is setting up a lit, for simplicity sake we are going to demonstrate only 2 lists.

There would be a command on the Matchbot similar to:

To See List:
:Matchbot:!seelist
(Matchbot)>List1,List2

:Matchbot:!seelist List1
(Matchbot)>Sk8,Dark,Fierce,Sweet

:Matchbot:!seelist List2
(Matchbot)>Savanger,Paladen,Deadly Divas,Party,Asians

To Update List:
:Matchbot:!updatelist List1:Sk8,Dark,Fierce,Dice
(would remove Sweet and add Dice to List1- No limit on amount of squads on list)

:Matchbot:!update List2:Savanger,Paladen,Deadly Divas,Party,Asians,Syne,Sage
(would add Syne and Sage to List2)

To Challenge Using List:
:Matchbot:!challengelist List1:4
(would challenge Dark, Sk8, Fierce, and Dice to a 4v4 match)

:Matchbot:!challengelist List2:4
(would challenge Savanger, Paladen, Deadly Divas, Party, Asians, Syne and Sage to a 4v4)


Any thoughts?

That seems pretty feasible...I personally send most of my challenges out through the twbd matchbots. Since there's about 6 active BD squads, I never really have trouble with the limit/an issue with typing out ::!challenge squad a few times.

I suppose it'd be a cool little upgrade and I think it could be done, but the issues are is it really necessary and does a bot developer have the time to implement something that seems more like a luxury imo.

Hell I guess it would be more feasible to have the "list" we want on the TWD site....and easier to update for sure.

I'm not quite sure what you meant, but I was saying feasible in the context of how it would be to code it.

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult to do.

yes...that can be implemented
but how to a squad join on the list?
who would be able to have update list command, it gives him the change to add and remove.
veloce, if you're willing to do it, it would just be a linkedlist or arraylist that uses the gamechallenge class of matchbot package, linkedlist <gamechallenge> generics

I'm busy working on something else right now...maybe later though if we decide to go through with this

I been thinking if it could be like !challenge 1-8, then it would challenge top 8 squads on twd ladder or something like that.

24> ?squadowner 1-8
Owner is Melon

We would need a new command too if we decided to go that route.

It would be easier to have the "lists" of squads to be on your !challengelist accessible to Captains on the http://twd.trenchwars.org/ site, where they can easily do a check box next to what squads they want on their list.
---------------------
Choose List:
[List1]

[x] Dark
[x] Sk8
[x] Dice
[ ] Deadly Divas
[x] Fierce
[ ] Sweet

[Save] [Cancel]
---------------------

Something like that, but would just have a list of all squads in TWD. Change list from the "Choose List" portion, and pick your squads.
