Script Core Suggestions

[sai`ke]

Perhaps a special version of CreateBullet that would send the server to a specific routine on impact. CreateBulletImpact( standard createbullet parameters, 'routinename' ) or something.

Where the routine in question would get the coordinates of the impact passed as input parameters.
For example: function impact( X, Y: single );

Kinda like crossfunc but triggered by the impact. Could be lagtastic if used wrong but would open some nice possibilities for scripted weaponry.

[EnEsCe]

Thats a good concept there Sai`ke, sounds interesting. Shall definately have a look into that one

Is there anyone talk about UI?
Weapon menu, mini-map, score point list, any UI show messages or selections should be used to script.

I would like to add a class menu before weapon menu, and show something in mini-map, and some messages in score points.

Maybe scripter can create new UI list for their mod.

another parameter for CreateBulllet, something like,  CreateBullet(standar createbullet params, visibleto) to set the bullet to be visible for what teams, that would be cool on trenchwars servers so both team can see the airstrike...

Making it so that Poly's have ID's. (You could make the server load them by having the top-most poly having ID 1, etc)

And then you can have a procedure:

OnPlayerPolyCollide(PolyID, PlayerID, PlayerX, PlayerY, PolyType);

You could also have stuff like GetPolyStat and SetPolyStat too.

[Norbo]

GiveBonus(ID,type,time);
a new parameter for give bonus, time, which is how long the bonus will last

[SyavX]

changes that have already been proposed

Code: [Select]

GetPlayerStat(ID, 'Admin');

OnVoteKick(Voter, Target: byte; Reason: string): boolean;
OnVoteMap(Voter: byte; MapName: string): boolean;
Plus ability to call StartVoteKick/StartVoteMap even if there was another voting less than 2 min ago.

btw, EnEsCe, fix a mistake in example for GetPiece:

WriteLn(GetPiece(MyString,' ',0)); //Hello
etc...

[zakath]

Change onplayerDamage to include bullettype that caused the damage
function OnPlayerDamage(Victim,Shooter,type: Byte;Damage: Integer) : integer
So that You can do things like a chance to critical damage with for example ruger.

[Norbo]

procedure RespawnFlag(TeamFlag: byte)

TeamFlag = the id of the team that the flag is (so TeamFlag would be 1 for alpha)

kills the flag and resapwns it in its spawnpoint (like after a round in survival mode)

[BombSki]

procedure RespawnFlag(TeamFlag: byte)

GetPlayerStat(ID,'prone')

support prone to available variables in GetPlayerStat, please

[Norbo]

procedure RespawnFlag(TeamFlag: byte)

thanks, that rly helped

[Serial K!ller]

putbutton(ID,uniquebuttonname,Xpos,Ypos,"Text",myprocedure)
Deletebutton(ID,uniquebuttonname)

Add a buton on a users screen (f.e. an "Admin" button that open a selection box that shows some actions depending on you authorisation lvl.)

[Norbo]

OnBulletFire(ID,Weapon,VelocityX,VelocityY);
its self-explainable

[iDante]

OnBulletFire(ID,Weapon,VelocityX,VelocityY);
its self-explainable

Think about how often that would be called in a 16 vs 16 deathmatch where everyone is using miniguns.

EnEsCe: can OnMapChange be called when the first map loads on a server? You can't call it from ActivateServer because the map isn't loaded by that time.

[chutem]

How about adding some stuff to moveplayer, like being able to set the x velocity, y velocity, and side they are facing?

[tk]

GetPlayerStat(ID, 'aimingX'): single
GetPlayerStat(ID, 'aimingY'): single   (angle of weapon which player is holding)
GetPlayerStat(ID, 'admin'): boolean
GetPlayerStat(ID, 'position'): byte   (0-normal, 1-duck, 2-prone)

AppOnIdleB(ticks: int)
   Like normal apponidle but called 10 times per second. No more apponidle bots and thread functions

KillPlayer(ID, Killer)

SetPlayerGrenades(NumberOfNades: byte; NadeType: boolean{normal or cluster})

SetJetFuel(ID, percent or jetticks)

CreateSpark(x,y, scale, Type)

PlaySound(x, y, range, name)
   Sound played from defined point on the map. If we are far to a source we dont hear the sound or it's less loud.

CreateText(ID, text, TimeDelay, RGB(0,0,0), scale, x, y)
   Text like we can see over the player saying smth, but sticked to defined point on the map.


Could be enabled exploding bullet types? (cluster, flamearrow, missile)

[NakedSnake]

What I would like to see is -

DestroyBullet (BulletID: integer);



By my logic - CreateBullet returns the Bullet ID No. - then why can we not have a Destroy Bullet?

[miketh2005]

I don't script, but here are a few procedure suggestions:

Onbulletcollide - Should have:
if player then
and
if polygon then

because theres no way to track if a bullet hits a polygon, would be nice for a portal sub-gamemode.

umm... these names a pretty sucky, but you can change them:

onplayerdoes: can slow down a player or tell if he is crouching

tellplayerchat: can tell the player to say stuff which is useless...

onbuttonpress: can tell what button the person pressed, prob the most usefull procedure here, think of the possibilities

onnade: can give the player / take away nades

onjet: can change the maximium jet for ALL players, or change it to so much, for ALL players

thats it...

LoadWeap(ID:byte, FileName:String);

Loads a weapon.ini file with the specified name, to the specified ID (0 for all).

Would need some good protection, as I can see hacks being made to exploit this, so it should be an option like scripting is in soldat.ini.
Would be awesome for scripts that involve skills, you could increase ammo, range and power much more efficiently. (Must not restart server though).
