ok I'm using a local.counter and need to print out the value ingame
how would that script be done with iprintlnbold "You died ( counter here ) times."
this is not the actual useage, but you can see what i need.

i think u need to use some sort of convert string thing. like how the singleplayer maps tell you what key to press to go forward. (m1l1)

quotes in " and then what ever you like, repeat as necessary
e.g.
iprintlnbold_noloc "This counter is on " level.counter " so hurry your ass up " level.something_else
or
if ( level.die_counter == 1 )
{iprintlnbold_noloc "You died for the 1st time"}
if ( level.die_counter == 2 )
{iprintlnbold_noloc "You died for the 2nd time keep trying though"}
if ( level.die_counter == 3 )
{iprintlnbold_noloc "3rd time now, do you think your a target ???"}
if ( level.die_counter >> 3 )
{iprintlnbold_noloc "For the " level.die_counter "th time, will you STOP DYING!!!"}
for counters use level. rather than local.

Or just:
Code: Select all
iprintlnbold "You died " + local.counter + " times."

Some people over script a simple line too.
If you don't want all that clicking with "iprintlnbold_noloc", you can use just "iprintln". That makes it show up on the leftside of the screen in yellow and with no clicking sound.

Sorry but that won't work
Try this:
iprintlnbold ("You died " + local.counter + " times.")
The other one is not allowed since the syntaxis of the iprintln command is the following:
iprintlnbold [string1] [string2] [string3].....
Thus you can type
iprintlnbold "hello " "world"
but not
iprintlnbold "hello " + "world"
If you put it between parens however, it's automatically casted to a string and supplied as the first argument only, instead of multiple.
iprintlnbold ("hello " + "world")

Trust jv to slap you on the fingers as soon as you post anything remotely similar to a script
Thanx jv

Actually I like nuggets version better, except this is a classical time to use the switch statement:
Code: Select all
switch (level.die_counter)
{
case 1: {
iprintlnbold_noloc "You died for the 1st time"
break
}
case 2: {
iprintlnbold_noloc "You died for the 2nd time keep trying though"
break
}
case 3: {
iprintlnbold_noloc "3rd time now, do you think your a target ???"
break
}
default: {
iprintlnbold_noloc "For the " level.die_counter "th time, will you STOP DYING!!!"
}
}
Jv?

although we love the switch statement, i though i'd just try to show an easy introduction to the language of scripting
i could of taken it a step further and used something even more complicateder but me no good at complicated schtuff

The compiler might not like the curlies around each case.

they'll be happy, with the use of ; in there (line seperator)

thanks JV that fixed it up, what I'm doing in converting the mohaa maps into CTF maps using a script that tstrait72 and scorpio made with some modifications. Since the original is first capture wins the round, I changed it to you need 3 captures to win and when one team gets a cap. it shows the current score to the left.
