Saying things like that are just going to make me not do it.

ah nice enesce. Did you thought about setplayerdeaths by the way?

? ^^

*coughs*

Aquarius · « **Reply #143 on:** October 11, 2007, 10:46:16 am »

Why would you want to set a number of player deaths? Not that I'm against the idea.

spkka · « **Reply #144 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:02:03 am »

just for the script...

We want to be able to kill the player to reset his position to a nearby spawnpoint, fill up his health and remove any vest or predator while making sure it doesn't affect his kill to death ratio, without having to resort to cheap hacks like increasing his kills. We could also use moveplayer but this causes an annoying stripe to appear between the from and to position and doesn't get rid of the vest problem.

I wont be adding listening sockets, and mouse place won't help anyone at all, what are you going to do with an integer from 0->480,0->640. They aren't world XY like those used in spawning stuff.

GlobalCursorXY = GlobalPlayerXY + (LocalCursorXY * 2)

DorkeyDear · « **Reply #147 on:** October 11, 2007, 04:08:59 pm »

I came up with something more like... (px+s*2*(mx-(640/2)), py+s*2*(my-(480/2))) where as px,py = player position, mx,my = player's mouse x,y (according to screen) and s as in scale in case 480 across the screen is not really 480 on the actual map (would need a bunch of testing to get a more accurate number, who knows, it could be 1)

Guys I wrote the formula on the previous page... it's playerX-640+(cursorX*2),Â playerY-480+(cursorY*2). It means if the cursor is in the middle of the screen (320,240) it's exactly in playerX, playerY position (points at the player). If it's in top left screen corner (0,0), it's -640,-480 pixels away etc.

Kavukamari · « **Reply #149 on:** October 11, 2007, 05:21:39 pm »

if LocalCursor0,0=GlobalPlayerXY then GlobalCursorXY=GlobalPlayerXY+LocalCursorXY
but...
if LocalCursor0,0=Screen0,0 then GlobalCursorXY=what you said

I like the first option more, can't enesce code the cursor 0,0 to playerXY ?

Hope yas are prepared to have to use ThreadFunc. If I add something like GetClientWhatevererevev() the function will have to send a packet to the client and wait for a response - if their ping is like 500 your script will be stuck on GetClientWhatevererevev() for 500ms; which pretty much forces you to use ThreadFunc, threads don't work very well with scripts.

Aquarius · « **Reply #151 on:** October 11, 2007, 05:52:36 pm »

You mean it's needed to get client's cursor? Now clients don't send cursor position to the server? Like for the head angle?Â

Would it be possible instead of ThreadFunc add onServerReceive event or something like this (but only for special things like this one)?

EnEsCe · « **Reply #152 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:07:39 pm »

The cursor position isn't bundled with any existing packets (The server itself has no need for it) so it would be in a separate packet; bundling it with an existing packet would create unnecessary bandwidth, which makes server hosts weep and dialup moan.

Aquarius · « **Reply #153 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:55:17 pm »

Maybe it could be optional, enabled by a script function so only servers with scripts which need it would use more bandwidth. And the cursor position could be sent only if it changed, in some reasonable minimal interval like 0.2 seconds. Unless I'm aiming at a moving target very often it's in the same place for a second or sometimes longer. Besides if someone shakes his cursor and has 500 ping, he can't expect 100% accuracy with the spawning objects/teleporting/selecting other players/whatever the cursor position would be needed for. Nothing works perfect with 500 ping.

if my MapRandomize function is ever fixed, might you code it (and RandomMap) into SoldatServer's hard code?

pweez? and maybe add Clearfile or Deletefile or something to fix the extra mapslists (mapslist0.txt, mapslist00.txt etc)

urraka · « **Reply #155 on:** October 12, 2007, 11:24:58 pm »

I want a DeleteFile too. Maybe enabled only with -safe 0, to avoid noobs to post scripts that delete important files.

EnEsCe · « **Reply #156 on:** October 13, 2007, 02:04:19 am »

mmk ill add DeleteFile. I could have sworn WriteFile('deleteme.txt',''); deleted files at some stage....

And no Kavukamari, I wont be hard-coding things you can do yourself. Learn

Avarax · « **Reply #157 on:** October 13, 2007, 04:57:01 am »

Fixing ThreadFunc would also be quite 1337

Kudos for DeleteFile

EnEsCe · « **Reply #158 on:** October 13, 2007, 07:23:12 am »

Can't fix that which isn't broken. Its just incompatible.
