player.dmteam=freeforall

[wacko]

I did a search in the forum and there are many posts stating (like the Game Module Classes) that player.dmteam can return spectator, allies, axis and... freeforall.
But when does it? I have a test map where I start in FFA, choose a team (I have to, cant start as a FreeForAll ) and then player.dmteam well it returns the team i've chosen.

Or is there another way to let the script know whether that level was started as FFA or TDM?

if(g_gametype = 2)
{
//FFA
iprintln "we got us a FFA here billy!"
}
else{
iprintln "aw shucks...."
}

not certain 2 is FFA, check with jv_map

Sorry LizardKid, but that wont work. FFA is gametype 1, and you didn't put "getcvar" or "==".

Code: Select all

game_check:

 wait 20
 iprintln "Game is: " (getcvar g_gametypestring) // text
 iprintln "Game type: " (getcvar g_gametype) // number

end

You can also apply those values to variables.

level.gametxt = (getcvar g_gametypestring)
level.gamenum = (getcvar g_gametype)

Type "cvarlist" in the console, during a game, to see all the stuff you can "get".

hey Tom
thanks a lot!
I knew there ought to be a way.

getcvar g_gametype returns a string not a value, so this would be LizardKid's lines the way they ought to work:

Code: Select all

if(getcvar g_gametype == "1") 
{ 
//FFA 
iprintln "we got us a FFA here billy!" 
} 
else
{ 
iprintln "aw shucks...." 
}

try if(int (getcvar g_gametype) == 1)

I had the same problem you have to use int or float for numbers

thnx, bodger, but why should i? the way i did (with quotes) is working perfectly...
