TestClients

[RobsoN]

Hello everyone. Can you tell me where is a notify about "begin" (in Callback_PlayerConnect) ? My TestClients Bots can't pass it, but in older mod they could. What's wrong then?

if you are testing on zombie mod, set autoassign 0

I don't think so autoassign have something to that. I deleted basic functions, and rewrited to my ones with deleting some useless stuff for me, so I could have missed something.

You know the golden rule - post your script. We can't see if there is a mistake without seeing the code itself.

What do you need ? Here is my Callback_PlayerConnect:

		Callback_PlayerConnect()
{
    waittillframeend;

    if(isdefined(self))
    {
        level notify("connecting", self);
        level thread [[level.functions["onEvent"]]]("onPlayerConnecting", self);
    }
    
    // Before Connect
    self.statusicon = "hud_status_connecting";
    self setClientCvar("download","Copyrights of extreme~Modding Team");
    iprintln("Connecting "+self.name);
    self waittill("begin");
    self.statusicon = "";
    iprintln("Connected "+self.name); //cant see this debug
    // After Connect
    level notify("connected", self);
    level thread [[level.functions["onEvent"]]]("onPlayerConnect", self);
        [...] 
	

And testclient script:

		addTestClients() //called on Callback_StartGameType
{
    //level waittill("connected");
    
    wait 1;
    
    if(!level.debug)
        return;
    
    for(i = 0; i < level.debug_clients; i++)
    {
        ent[i] = addTestClient();
        
        if(!isDefined(ent[i]))
            continue;
    
        ent[i] thread testClientInit();
    }
}
testClientInit()
{
    self.pers["team"] = "axis";
    self.pers["primary_weapon"] = "knife_mp";
    self.data["bot"] = true;
    self.statusicon = "";
    self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_zom::spawnPlayer();
}

Try this:

		addTestClients() //called on Callback_StartGameType
{
    //level waittill("connected");
    
    wait 1;
    
    if(!level.debug)
        return;
    
    for(i = 0; i < level.debug_clients; i++)
    {
        ent[i] = addTestClient();
        
        if(!isDefined(ent[i]))
            continue;
    
        ent[i] thread testClientInit( "axis" );
    }
}

testClientInit( team )
{
    while( !isdefined( self.pers["team"] ) )
        wait( 0.05 );

    self notify( "menuresponse", game["menu_team"], team );
    wait( 0.5 );
    self notify( "menuresponse", game["menu_weapon_axis"], "knife_mp" );
}

wouldnt that explain it?
i wouldnt do anything before the begin-notify

No, I believe the problem is that the bots aren't given their notifications as they pass through the menus. They notify first for team, then for team weapons. If you don't do them, they wont spawn.

CoD2 is really sensitive with waittillframeend; when it comes to spawnplayer() function. Try adding waittillframeend; or just a plain wait .05 before doing anything with your bot (that includes setting the .pers["team"])

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried your ideas, but nothing has changed.
