Two simple script questions.

[Omni]

Simple, but endlessly useful.

I need to know what line of code you'd need to make the script recognise a certain player on login/landing and putting them in a specified vehicle (specified in the script).

So something like(pseudocode)::

Code: Select all

Event("PlayerLogin" 0)
{

If %PLAYER% is "Blaze"
{

*setvehicle %PLAYER% #
*say In soviet russia, you burn Blaze.

}


}

Didn't find it on the guides. I know zaroba has used it before, but hurricane sandy is gonna keep him "busy" for a while.

Here's another question, is there anyway, to make an *effect %player% # last constantly till the player logs off? Then start when the player logs on again?

[MasterNiCron]

you put this as the if line in script

Code: Select all

IF ($gPlayerID = #)

*showbill (player name)
to find the playerid# to put in it

it what im useing for persnal profiles and info on frost

[MasterNiCron]

forgot to say u may also want to add a sleep timer to it being the script will acualy run befor the player is fully on the world and wont efect them

[Mit]

Don't need that sleep stuff now, blaze, as theres a new event 'PlayerLoginComplete' that is run after the player is fully connected and able to receive messages etc.

So, heres your complete script..

Code: Select all

Event( "PlayerLoginComplete", "" )
{
    $blazesBillingID = sysGetPlayerID( "Blaze" )
    if ( $gPlayerID == $blazesBillingID )
    { 
        *setvehicle %PLAYER% # 
        *say In soviet russia, you burn Blaze. 
     }
} 

[MasterNiCron]

cool did not know that event was added thanks i have a use for that also wouldent this be more efenchent

Code: Select all

Event( "PlayerLoginComplete", "" ) 
 { 
   if ( $gPlayerID = # ) 
    { 
      *setvehicle %PLAYER% # 
      *say In soviet russia, you burn Blaze. 
     } 
 }

being that as scrips get bigger every bit halps when it comes to faster loadeing

[Mit]

knowing the ID number in advance would make it a lil more efficient yeh, but i just thought that made the example clearer and more useful :].

[MasterNiCron]

oh ok kool

[Omni]

Thanks guys. Helping a lot.

Now for my other question:

Here's another question, is there anyway, to make an *effect %player% # last constantly till the player logs off? Then start when the player logs on again?

I know we don't have loops in Mit++, which would certainly make that possible. Is there another way?

[MasterNiCron]

something like this would loop for the efect ur looking for.

Code: Select all

event("playerlogin", " ")
 {
  *effect %player% #
  CustomEvent( "efect" )
 }


event("custom", "efect")
 {
  sleep( # )
   *effect %player% #
  CustomEvent( "efect" )
 }

just got to make shure the sleep timeer runs out just befor the efect runs out

[Mit]

Only problem with that is that it creates a new sequence of events every time someone logs in.. eventually your server will blow up

You need to make sure to turn it off when the player leaves (either by setting a variable in the PlayerLogout event or using sysIsPlayerIDOnline).
Personally i prefer timers to sleeps, so the code would be :

Code: Select all

Event( "PlayerLogin", "" )
{
    *effect %PLAYER% #
    $timerID = sysSetTimer( 10, "PlayerEffectTimer", "" )
}

Event( "Timer", "PlayerEffectTimer" )
{
    $isStillOnline = sysIsPlayerIDOnline( $gPlayerID )
    if ( $isStillOnline == 1 )
    {
        *effect %PLAYER% #
        $timerID = sysSetTimer( 10, "PlayerEffectTimer", "" )
    }
}

(10 in that example is the number of seconds between each timer event)

[MasterNiCron]

i like that. i had not evan been thinking of checking if still online
