You share those credits like you've created an epic function only 0.00001% of population could make.

Code: [Select]

Function Active(ID: Byte): Boolean; //Checks if Player is active, it's just faster than GetPlayerStat().
 Begin
  Result := False;
 if GetPlayerStat(ID,'Active') = True Then Result := True;
end;How is this faster than GetPlayerStat? You use less time typing it? This uses server's memory for nothing (I know the difference is tiny, but still - what is the point of making shorter commands if the length of name of function doesn't matter for the script engine?).

With GetTeamPlayers(), you can see how many players there are in
a team. Usage: /getplayers <Team>

How about DeathmatchPlayers, AlphaPlayers, BravoPlayers, CharliePlayers, DeltaPlayers and Spectators (built-in variables)? This one is useless. You could change the whole 32-iterations loop into one case Team of (0 to 5).

For booleans, you don't need to compare them to another boolean, so instead of if A = true then you can use if A then (the first one is equal to if true = true then). Use if not A then instead of if A = false then.

if GetPlayerStat(ID,'Active') = True Then Result := True;

Result := GetPlayerStat(ID,'Active');

In regards to the Active function:
Sometimes you need to convert a variant into the appropriate type (for instance you cannot simply do if (GetPlayerStat(Id, 'Active'), you must have = true, which I would guess forces it to implicitly convert into a boolean). I think it should be slightly slower though if using this function, since it has to go through another function, but I cannot say with certainty without some data.

In regards to the Active function:
[...]

I just put it in 'coz its faster to type.

In regards to the other answers:

I don't really care. Does the same thing. What you all typed is just to make it prettier. It's not like it's gonna mess the whole Script up.

How about DeathmatchPlayers, AlphaPlayers, BravoPlayers, CharliePlayers, DeltaPlayers and Spectators (built-in variables)? This one is useless. You could change the whole 32-iterations loop into one case Team of (0 to 5).

Do GetTeamPlayers(0) to see if it doesn't return how many players have no team.

GetTeamPlayers(0) returns all players that doesn't have a team.
GetTeamPlayers(1) returns all players in Alpha Team.
GetTeamPlayers(2) returns all players in Bravo Team.
GetTeamPlayers(3) returns all players in Charlie Team.
GetTeamPlayers(4) returns all players in Delta Team.
GetTeamPlayers(5) returns all players in Spectator Group.

If you wanna prove it, go "/addbot0 Kruger", and then "/getplayers 0"..

It doesn't need Case of.

Wrong. Script should be done in the fastest and most efficient way.

It doesn't need Case of.

Gizd's method using case of is waaaay faster than your.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Apply this and delete that Active(ID) function and it'll be okay.

Yes, Sir!
