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.

They are spawning (self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_zom::spawnPlayer(); ) but one weird thing is, they have still connecting status icon, even i changed it to "" ( self.statusicon = ""; ) Btw, scripts wont work correctly on bots, because script are still waiting for connected player... (stuck on self waittill("begin") )

[serthy]

(stuck on self waittill("begin") )

just use the default callback_playerconnected() procedure (or the slightly modified one below)

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

	self thread notifyConnecting();

	self.statusicon = "hud_status_connecting";

	self waittill( "begin" );

	self.statusicon = "";
	
	waittillframeend;
//...do your callback catching stuff here, AFTER everything went fine
}

notifyConnecting()
{
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	self endon( "begin" );

	waittillframeend;

	if( isDefined( self ) )
	{
		level notify( "connecting" , self );
	}
}

add a shitload of debug-iprintln()'s in combination with getTime() to see where it stucks and why
