This script is designed to do the following:
set the variable "player0_choosing" to 0
sleep until the health amount changes from being dead and then
add loadout1 s equipment over the top of whats there.

What it ACTUALLY does for some reason is:
set the variable "player0_choosing" to 0 ( as far as I know works)
does nothing unless you select it after you have already respawned, and even then only sometimes will it do it.
places equipment over the default ar and pistol I started with, except it keeps the default ar as a 3rd weapon for some reason.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG?? It's stumped me as to why it is doing this...

(script dormant player0_l1
(set "player0_choosing" false)
(sleep_until (!= (unit_get_health (unit (list_get (players) 0))) -1) 5)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) loadout1 true)
)

Can somebody help me as to:
How to make the default ar go away
How to make it work EVERY time
and What to do so that it actually waits before doing it, so that you don't have to choose your loadout after you spawn

It tracks the life amount of the person, player0 in this case.
It is set to notice a change in the health amount, from -1 (being dead) to 1 (being alive)
essentially, it is supposed to accept the command (pressing a button, which wakes this script), and wait until the player respawns, then change the loadout. Instead, it doesn't do anything.

take the global name out of quotes, your treating it as a string when its not a string, its a global. And is that global previously defined? Next time, post the actual error information sapien gives you when compiling.

Noted


Yes, it is.



Umm, you see, there isn't any errors. OS debug doesn't say anything out of the ordinary and it goes through fine (all scripts compile correctly), the issue I have is with the ingame performance of them.

first two globals and the suicide and negative_points scripts were experiments - not important to issue. this is overly stretched out and unoptimised, but that is intentional. each of the player0_l1 type scripts are all the possible combinations of players choosing a loadout.
Have fun.

To my knowledge of scripting, there has to be the globals at the top, statics under that, then dormant, then whatever else.

Because you can reference UP scripts, but not down. And then again... You haven't referenced ANY of the dormant scripts, so how can they be executed, if mr. BLAM doesn't know when?

Anyways, not only are you wasting tons of space, and have an incredibly low success rate, but you also can only pick each weapon once.

Why is it always setting this local number variable to -1?... Since its a continuous, its always gonna do that. So, say its half way through checking what the number is, up around 10. Someone tries to set the number for it to check as something like 3.. Well, now its past that point, so it reassigns it to -1. That data is now lost, and you have a horrible success rate. 16th player in the server has the highest success rate, but that still doesn't even guarantee it. It could assign the 15 right after it checks for the 15, and before it reassigns to -1.

Directly using the wake commands on dormant scripts.. Dormant scripts, if correctly executed, only run once. They can only be ran infinitely when ran via widgets, so that means the moment you wake a dormant once, its gone. So, after 4 respawns, you can no longer use weapons.

And most importantly, why are you talking a script that should be around 30 or so lines, and making it that many lines?..

And you still dont have anything to broadcast the results between all the PCs, as well as the fact your still using widgets so the clients will never inform the host of their choices. So, its still SP, just a lot of unneeded players listed.

PS, player_local_get doesn't correspond with the players number in the object list, which is why I didn't use it like that in one of your other 5 threads when I showed you what to write.

Notice you complain about default weapons at the top. Just remove the weapons from the biped tag, since its falling back to those. Replacing equipment doesnt actually work on the readied weapon (In fact, even if you physically destroy the weapon, the biped still is using the animations for that weapon until you switch to another one. Regardless about how you go about it, the game doesnt really like changing out weapons unnaturally.)

they activate through the ui_widgets. they pop up when you die, that's how.


I had something else in mind, I didn't mean to have it set up that way. Whoops indeed.


So by being indirect, it breaks itself. Got it.




I had it set so that when I muck up (like thus), I can actually read what I have done and fix it. Ill make it smaller when I'm done.


One step at a time. I'll figure it out later. And by I'll, I mean I'll try, probs give up and bug you with trivial questions.



player_local_get
returns the local player's player-list-index

(if (and (= "local_number" 0) true) (set "player0_choosing" true))

It recognises that the players player-index-number is 0, thus player 0
If this is not correct, then please, pray tell what exactly the point of this command is, what it actually is outputting and how it can be used. I'd wanna know =)



Well, you never actually said it there. Not even hinted it, really. But now I know.
Also 3, not 5. And I have non-loadout related questions on your scripting thread btw. Just a heads up. =)


Thank you.

PS I hope I don't come off as ungrateful for your help, I truly am thankful, just stubborn to make this mother work, one way or another.

player-list-index != object_list index.
In fact, the orders would be exact opposite.
Lets say we had a server with bob, joe, marry, and sue. They joined in that order.
Player list Index:
0 - Bob
1 - Joe
2 - Marry
3 - Sue
Object_list Index (Assuming they're all alive):
0 - Sue
1 - Marry
2 - Joe
3 - Bob

The object list will only list the living, and the newest object is the lowest number. Player list, it will start numbering players from 0 upwards. The player indexes are only used for OS' new commands relating to players. Any of those commands that asks for a player index, it wants that ordering. Now, if you want the actual character, they took care of that too. (player_data_get_object <player-index> slave_unit) will return the character as an object. Just toss (unit <object>) around it to cast it to a unit, and your good to go.
