Some questions about Allies and Axis

Hi Guys, i want to make a zombie server.
I have got some questions:

How i can check that there is only one player on my server / on team axis? ( In Script )
How i can make that the axis will be allies switched? / and the allies to axis? ( In script )

If you can help me, please then write as coment. Thank you!

1)

PHP Code:

---


getDeadPlayers()
{
    players = getentarray("player", "classname");
    tmp = [];
    for (i=0; i<players.size; i++)
    {
        if (players[i].pers["team"] == "axis" || players[i].pers["team"] == "allies")
        if (players[i].sessionstate != "playing")
            tmp[tmp.size] = players[i];
    }
    return tmp;
}



// in your function you write:

if (getDeadPlayers().size == 1)
    iprintlnbold("only one zombie roaming!");

2)

When a player dies, DON'T respawn any player. The respawn-logic needs to be handled by a gametype-thread, which is an endless loop.

The loop is like:

PHP Code:

---

getAliveHunters()
{
    players = getentarray("player", "classname");
    tmp = [];
    for (i=0; i<players.size; i++)
    {
        if (players[i].pers["team"] == "allies")
        if (players[i].sessionstate == "playing")
            tmp[tmp.size] = players[i];
    }
    return tmp;
}

while (1)
{
    wait 0.05;
    if (getAliveHunters().size == 0)
    {
        iprintlnbold("all hunters died, round restart... or server is just empty ;D");

        newZombie = level.lastKilled; // set that always in playerkilled-callback
        // iterate over player now and respawn them as axis or allies... work for you!

    }
   
}

You can also set game["state"] == "roundrestart" etc. to handle new connected players e.g., but I just want you to understand the basic idea. Now you should be able to work the rest out.

When you say you want allies to become axis, and axis to become allies, do you mean you want the players to switch teams? Or do you mean you want attackers to become defenders, and defenders to become attackers?

One is a team change;
the other other is a role change.

You need to tell us clearly what you want. You can't do both, because you will end up undoing what you set out to do: if defenders change team, and the new team they switch to are the attackers, you just made them attackers all over again. Which is kind of pointless.

It's a team switch on death (typical zombie mod)

This is a general method to swap players to a new team:

PHP Code:

---

swapTeams()
{
    level endon( "gameover" );

    players = getentarray( "player", "classname" );
    for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
    {
        // don't do anything with spectators
        if( !isDefined( players[i].pers["team"] ) || players[i].pers["team"] == "spectator" ) continue;

        newTeam = undefined;

        if( players[i].pers["team"] == "axis" ) 
            newTeam = "allies";
        else if( players[i].pers["team"] == "allies" ) 
            newTeam = "axis";

        players[i].pers["team"] = newTeam;
        players[i].pers["savedmodel"] = undefined;
        players[i] thread clearWeapons();

        if( newTeam == "allies" )
            player thread switchteams( "allies" );
        else
            player thread switchteams( "axis" );
        
    }

    tempscore =  game["alliedscore"];
    game["alliedscore"] = game["axisscore"];
    game["axisscore"] = tempscore;
    setTeamScore( "allies", game["alliedscore"] );
    setTeamScore( "axis", game["axisscore"] );
}

switchteams( Team )
{
    if( self.sessionstate != "dead" )
    {
        self.switching_teams = true;
        self.joining_team = Team;
        self.leaving_team = self.pers["team"];
        self suicide();
    }
    
    self.pers["team"] = Team;
    self.team = Team;
    self.pers["teamTime"] = undefined;
    self.sessionteam = self.pers["team"];
    
    // update spectator permissions immediately on change of team
    self maps\mp\gametypes\_spectating::setSpectatePermissions();
    
    self notify( "end_respawn" );

}

clearWeapons()
{
    self endon("disconnect");

    // clear standard weapons
    self.pers["weapon"] = undefined;
    self.pers["weapon1"] = undefined;
    self.pers["weapon2"] = undefined;
    self.pers["spawnweapon"] = undefined;

    // clear saved roundbased weapons
    if( isDefined( game[self.name] ) )
    {
        if( isDefined( game[self.name]["weapon1"] ) ) 
            game[self.name]["weapon1"] = undefined;
        if( isDefined( game[self.name]["weapon2"] ) ) 
            game[self.name]["weapon2"] = undefined;
    }
}

It can be easily modified if you know who the player is, because you wont have to search all players. Just pass the known player through the method, and that will switch them to a new team.
