i know im gonna do something "special" with my mp map hehehehehehe.


and jv_map:

is that one .tik for all axis players? or do i have to rewrite all the axis .tiks????

[jv_map]

You have to rewrite all

[Alcoholic]

so how exactly do i do this? what do i change? i looked in ur .tik, cant tell

[Alcoholic]

hmmm i looked in include.txt cant i just do this at the start of each round?

level waittill roundstart

Code: Select all

for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++)
{
    if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "allies")
    {
        $player[local.i] american
    }
    else if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "axis")
    {
        $player[local.i] german
    }

wouldnt that work?

[jv_map]

No this won't work for players who join later

[Alcoholic]

so how do i go about changing their race in a dm respawning map?

[Alcoholic]

what about a dynamic one?

would this lag the server any?

Code: Select all

level waittill roundstart

level.players = $player.size
while (1)
{
    while (level.players == $player.size)
    {
        wait 0.1
    }
    thread teams
    level.players = $player.size
    end
}
end

teams:

for (local.i = 1; local.i <= level.players; local.i++)
{
    if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "allies")
    {
        $player[local.i] american
    }
    else if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "axis")
    {
        $player[local.i] german
    }
}
end

that should work shouldnt it? but would it make lots of lag?

[Alcoholic]

oh yeah the first while loop should have a wait 0.1

[nuggets]

why use 2 while loops? the both dependant on each other to act

level waittill roundstart

level.players = $player.size
while (1)
{
thread teams $player.size
wait 0.1
}
end

teams level.players:
for (local.i = 1; local.i <= level.players; local.i++)
{
if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "allies")
{
$player[local.i] american
}
if ($player[local.i].dmteam == "axis")
{
$player[local.i] german
}
}
end

/*i'm not sure if this would work or not, but seems like the answer you may be looking for */

the outer loop is just so that it never stops. the inner loop is just there to hold off executing the rest until its ready.

if you have this:

Code: Select all

while (1)
{
    wait 1
}

println "HAHAHAHA"

the message "HAHAHAHAHA" will never be printed on your console. while loops halt the progress of the script, and the inner while loop is a sort of "waittill" function i made.

[jv_map]

Either way, though it's starting to look ok , there's still a major issue left. I'm afraid a player won't remember his 'american' or 'german' setting when he (re)spawns .

[Alcoholic]

what about this...

use the code from my 2:19 p.m. post:

then add this after $player[local.i] german

Code: Select all

$player[local.i].race = german

and after $player[local.i]american

Code: Select all

$player[local.i].race = american

then add these independant lines:

Code: Select all

$player thread myrace

myrace:

while (1)
{
    wait 0.1
    if (self.race == german)
    {
        self german
    }
    else if (self.race == american)
    {
        self american
    }
}
end
    

[jv_map]

That actually might work but you have a problem when a player switches teams.

Why not do this?

Code: Select all

while(1)
{
  for(local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++)
  {
    local.player = $player[local.i]
    if(local.player.dmteam == allies)
      local.player american
    else 
      local.player german
  }
  waitframe
}

This does bring up the next issue though . AI will attack spectators.

[Alcoholic]

why dont you put else if local.player.dmteam == "axis" ?? eh? eh?

[jv_map]

I guessed they were not Russian so that saves one if
