This SDK allows you to call exported MTA functions from Java over HTTP.

Getting Started

To use it, you need to make sure you need to have the following packages:

  • com.multitheftauto
  • org.json.simple
  • org.json.simple.parser

These are all included in the zip file below.

To get started, import com.multitheftauto.MTARPC.

Syntax

This class has one public static function, callFunction. The syntax is as follows:

Object[] callFunction ( String serverHTTPAddress, String resourceName, String functionName, Object[] args )
  • serverHTTPAddress: The server's HTTP address, in the form hostname:port (without "http://" prefixed)
  • resourceName: The name of the resource that has exported the function you want to call
  • functionName: The name of the function you want to call
  • args: An array of arguments you wish to pass. Most basic types are accepted - String, Integer, Double, Boolean, null etc, as well as the special classes com.multitheftauto.Element and com.multitheftauto.Resource.

Examples

This tests the resource functions exported from the 'echobot' resource:

Object[] ret = MTARPC.callFunction ( SERVER_HTTP_ADDRESS, "echobot", "getThisResource", null );
Resource resource = (Resource)ret[0];
Object[] arguments = {resource};
ret = MTARPC.callFunction ( SERVER_HTTP_ADDRESS, "echobot", "getResourceName", arguments );
String resourceName = (String)ret[0];
System.out.println("Resource name: " + resourceName );

This example tests the element functions exported from the 'echobot' resource:

// call getRootElement
Object[] ret = MTARPC.callFunction ( SERVER_HTTP_ADDRESS, "echobot", "getRootElement", null );
Element rootElement = (Element)ret[0];

// call getElementType
Object[] arguments = {rootElement};
ret = MTARPC.callFunction ( SERVER_HTTP_ADDRESS, "echobot", "getElementType", arguments );
String rootElementType = (String)ret[0];

System.out.println("Root element type: " + rootElementType );

More complex example

The zip file contains an example program (MTAJavaTest.java) that implements a console that allows you to see events on a server and chat to the players there. This allows you to see how you can handle multiple returns.

Caveats

  • You cannot currently compare two Resource or Element objects that you expect to be identical - you need to do a "deep compare", comparing either the "id" fields or the "name" fields.
