ell what do i write? I mean, if

parm.other waitill death

doesnt work and

Code: Select all

if (parm.other.health == 0)
or 
while (parm.other.health == 0)

is crap what do i write to check if a player is dead.. i dont want to put a timelimit to my mod but i want to remove the stuff i glue to him when he dies...

any suggestions?

waittill death doesnt work for players. also the health goes into the negatives, it isnt capped at zero (i think) so < 1 might be a better option.

what about <= 0? and how would i write that when if (parm.other.health <= 0 doesnt work?

Posted: **Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:10 am**

why not something using isalive like

Code: Select all

for (local.i=1; local.i<=$player.size; local.i++) 
{ 
if !(isAlive $player[local.i])
{
remove the stuff
}
}

parm.other is a variable set by the game and changes every time a trigger is triggered so

if (parm.other.health == 0)

would not work anyway since a player with 0 health could not trigger a trigger .

Yep Wacko is on the money!
or try;
local.player = parm.other
if!(isAlive local.player)
{
do some stuff
}

thats the sucky thing abou tthe search.you search for waittill death,youll get every post with waittill in it,so i choose the least amount of info as possible.
like iprintln
instead of iprint text options.
the second search would get you all kinds of unwanted posts.

Select the "Search for all terms" option. It's all explained on the search page.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2005 1:10 am**

nope it dont work (wacko)

Code: Select all

for (local.i=1; local.i<=$player.size; local.i++)
{
if !(isAlive $player[local.i])
{
setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "0"
level.allieshasspy--
}
}
}
}// the extra two are for my above script ;)

does this help any?

dead:

while(1)
{
wait .5
for ( local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++ )
{
if !( IsAlive $player[local.i] && $player[local.i].died != 1)
{
$player[local.i].dead = 1
$player[local.i].died = 1
$player[local.i] thread death $player[local.i]
}
}
}
end
death local.guy:
if ( local.guy.dead == 1 && IsAlive local.guy )
{
local.guy.dead = 0
local.guy.died = 0
//code.this will happen on respawn
local.guy iprint "i respawned"//example
}
end

Fungus, do you just want to monitor a player who has used a trigger?
Why do you need to monitor all connected players?

If it's monitoring a player who has used a trigger and has something bound or glued to him then this example works very well and is a lot simpler than scanning all irelevant players status.

This is a small part of a CTF game I made, but it will give you the idea.
The player only has a light put on him, but could also be something glued.

Code: Select all

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
monitor_axis_object:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  $axtrig waittill trigger
  local.player = parm.other
 
  if ((local.player.dmteam==allies) && (level.axisobj_stolen == 0) && (isAlive local.player))
  {
    local.player iprint "You must get the Captains Statue back to your stronghold as quickly as you can!"
    $axtrig delete
    $axisent delete
    
    level.axisobj_stolen = 1
    level.axisobj_carried = 1
    
    local.player light 0 0 1 100   // = blue
    local.player lighton
    iprintlnbold_noloc "The Allied Captains Statue has been stolen back!"
    waitthread al_checkloop local.player
  }
//rest of routine etc etc...

end

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
al_checkloop local.player:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    while(! level.axisobj_stolen==0)
    {
      if (! isAlive local.player )
      {
        // player died or dropped it
        waitthread axisobject local.player.origin
        level.axisobj_carried = 0
        iprintlnbold_noloc "The Captains Statue has been dropped somewhere"
        local.player lightoff
        break
      }
      if (local.player isTouching $axisjailbox)
      {
        waitthread axisobject local.player.origin
        level.axisobj_carried = 0
        iprintlnbold_noloc "Allies have their Captains Statue back in their stronghold.."
        local.player lightoff
        level.axisobj_stolen = 0
        wait 2
        teamwin allies
        end
      }
      wait 1
    }
end
