Warcraft 2 Annoyed Click Secret Script

More work?!

[JAB Creations]

If you've played Warcraft 2 or Warcraft 3 you know by continuously clicking on characters they eventually get annoyed and say funny things. Here on WebmasterWorld a few years back I had some help creating a script that would load a page that would play a SWF sound to emulate that behavior. However the script is static thus not allowing a parameter to choose the personality and I would like this script to work without requiring the presence of frames. Here is the original script...

if (parent.border)
{
var clickCount = 0;
var clickSpacing = 4;
var clickCycle = 22;
document.onclick = function()
{
clickCount = ++clickCount % clickCycle // if 22, return to zero
if(clickCount &&!(clickCount % clickSpacing)) // if clickCount is non-zero multiple of clickSpacing
parent.border.location
= 'home/home-border-top-pissed-peasant-'
+ (clickCount/clickSpacing)
+ '.php';
}
}

The new script should support two parameters, person and the click cycle. There are different people to annoy and some have more material then others. However a nice constant is that a sound function is triggered every fourth click. Once the script reaches the clickCycle it loops/resets back to zero.

The tricky part for me is figuring out how to work with parameters to create dynamically generated calls to a different script that handles sound events. This script only needs to call events. Here is an example list...

soundManager.play('peasant1');
soundManager.play('peasant2');
soundManager.play('peasant3');
soundManager.play('peasant4');
soundManager.play('peasant5');

I can have my site use an HTTP query in the script element as my JavaScript files are compressed by PHP and thus I can simply have PHP set echo the person in the script dynamically. I'm really tired right now so this is what I have right now...

function sitepersonality(person, clicks) {
var clickCount = 0;
var clickSpacing = 4;
var clickCycle = 22;
document.onclick = function()
{
clickCount = ++clickCount % clickCycle // if 22, return to zero
if(clickCount &&!(clickCount % clickSpacing)) // if clickCount is non-zero multiple of clickSpacing
{soundManager.play((person)(clickCount/clickSpacing));}
}
}

Don't you mean to have something like the following?

soundManager.play(person+(clickCount%clickSpacing));

Try that to see what you get...

Here is what I have thus far though clicking triggers no events that I am aware of. I'm not sure what the generated output looks like however.

function sitepersonality() {
var clickCount = 0;
var clickSpacing = 4;
var clickCycle = 22;
var person = peasant;
document.onclick = function()
{
clickCount = ++clickCount % clickCycle // if 22, return to zero
if(clickCount &&!(clickCount % clickSpacing)) // if clickCount is non-zero multiple of clickSpacing
{
soundManager.play('person+(clickCount%clickSpacing)');
}
}
}

Here is what the code looks like in a static test case...

<span onclick="soundManager.play('peasant1');">sound 1</span>
<br />
<span onclick="soundManager.play('peasant2');">sound 1</span>

Try taking away the quotes as I have shown you up above in my last msg:

function sitepersonality() {
var clickCount = 0;
var clickSpacing = 4;
var clickCycle = 22;
var person = peasant;
document.onclick = function()
{
clickCount = ++clickCount % clickCycle // if 22, return to zero
if(clickCount &&!(clickCount % clickSpacing)) // if clickCount is non-zero multiple of clickSpacing
{
soundManager.play(person+(clickCount%clickSpacing));
}
}
}

Nothing happens and there aren't any error messages in Opera 9.5 or Firefox 2. I'm not sure what else to do?

replace the playing of the sound with an alert to make sure that it's actually being called.

[JAB Creations]

I get no alerts when clicking numerous times...

alert(person+(clickCount%clickSpacing));

Ha! I got it working, check it out. ;) Now that I have this working I'm going to find some more people to annoy...err besides you folks. :-D

var clickCount = 0;
var clickSpacing = 4;
var clickCycle = 22;
window.onclick = clickPage;
function clickPage()
{
var person = 'peasant';
clickCount = ++clickCount % clickCycle // if 22, return to zero
if (clickCount &&!(clickCount % clickSpacing)) // if clickCount is non-zero multiple of clickSpacing
{
alert(person+clickCount/clickSpacing);
soundManager.play(person+clickCount/clickSpacing);}
}
