Problem with "if(getCvar" function

Hi everyone ! :o


So... New trouble. I added to my mod, something like a "bash time" on end of map, nobody have ammo.



Callback_StartGameType()

PHP Code:

---

setCvar("fun_bashtime", "0"); 


---

SpawnPlayer()

PHP Code:

---

        self giveWeapon(self.pers["weapon"]);
        self setSpawnWeapon(self.pers["weapon"]);
    
    if(getCvar("fun_bashtime") == 1)
    { 
        self setWeaponSlotAmmo("primaryb", 0);
        self setWeaponSlotClipAmmo("primaryb", 0);
    }
    
    if(getCvar("fun_bashtime") == 0)
    {
        self giveMaxAmmo(self.pers["weapon"]);
    } 


---

checkTimeLimit()

PHP Code:

---

if(secondsleft == 180) 
    { 
    setCvar("fun_bashtime", "1"); 


---

I allways have ammo. Why not work? No comment my way :) ps. sry for english :>

cvar returns a string
try getcvarint.

ninjaedit: also, that only works once a player goes through spawnplayer(), which it might not be. Try doing /kill when bashmode is enabled

As well you could try setting a new variable instead of cvar like

PHP Code:

---

fun_bashtime = 1;

// and then

    if(fun_bashtime == 1)
    { 
        self setWeaponSlotAmmo("primaryb", 0);
        self setWeaponSlotClipAmmo("primaryb", 0);
    }
    else
    {
        self giveMaxAmmo(self.pers["weapon"]);
    } 


---

Anyway for my own info, is there any advantage of setting a cvar over variables?

Probably due to the fact you can rcon-change it.

Also, your code uses local vars, which is not the most useful thing to do...

The advantages of using variables instead of seeking the value of a cvar come into its own when seeking the value for a client/player, as you cannot get the value of a cvar for a client/player without using a menu. Hence, getting a client/player variable is the done thing. I typically turn all cvars into variables and seek the value of variables habitually as it is more sure-fire.

Ok, problem fixed. i paste setCvar("fun_bashtime", "0"); in for(;;) xD I don't see this.

That's just wow.

There are sometimes strange bugs with cvar-functions, like:

Working:

PHP Code:

---

    iwdString = getcvar("sv_iwdNames");
    iwds = strTok(iwdString, " "); 


---

Not Working:

PHP Code:

---

    iwds = strTok(getcvar("sv_iwdNames"), " "); 


---

"Logically" thats the same code, but a getcvar-function used directly as an argument for another function fails for some reason. I dont see that bug here, but might help somebody at some point.

does this only occur in strtok()?

since strtok is fcked up in CoD, even somewhere in the standart gsc files it was rewritten

Do you get secondsleft like this?

PHP Code:

---

timepassed = (getTime() - level.starttime) / 1000;
timelimit = level.timelimit*60;
secondsleft = timelimit - timepassed;

I'm asking it because I created a little code to play those time warning sounds from Counter Strike. It will play at 30 and 20 seconds left and also a countdown from 10 to 1.

This did not work for me:

PHP Code:

---

if(timelimit - timepassed == 30)
    playSoundOnPlayers("thirtysecs");

if(timelimit - timepassed == 20)
    playSoundOnPlayers("twentysecs");

if(timelimit - timepassed == 10)
    playSoundOnPlayers("tensecs"); 


---

And this worked:

PHP Code:

---

    if((timelimit - timepassed > 29.7)&&(timelimit - timepassed < 30.3))
        playSoundOnPlayers("thirtysecs");

    if((timelimit - timepassed > 19.7)&&(timelimit - timepassed < 20.3))
        playSoundOnPlayers("twentysecs");

    if((timelimit - timepassed > 9.7)&&(timelimit - timepassed < 10.3))
        playSoundOnPlayers("tensecs"); 


---

It probably happens because checkTimeLimit is called every 1 second. So, I'm curious to know how you made it work with if(secondsleft == 180).

PHP Code:

---

timepassed = (getTime() - level.starttime) / 1000;
secondsleft = int( (level.timelimit*60) - timepassed + 0.5 ); 


---

My code works, but when sounds plays to late, just add one second. :)

PHP Code:

---

       passedtime = (getTime() - level.starttime) / 1000;
       secondsleft = int((level.timelimit*60) - (passedtime));    
       
       if(secondsleft == 180)
       {

       ////your code

       } 


---

In my code I'm using a float variable, and you are using an integer, that's probably why.
