Param score and timelimit help

There's a lot wrong. :)

1. I canged your "time" variable to "timeElapsed". Because time is a reserved command.

2. Move this part into the init.sqf:

[] spawn {
if (!isDedicated) then {
	while {true} do {
		waitUntil {alive player};
		waitUntil {!alive player};
		if (side player == West) then { EastScore = EastScore + 1; publicVariable "EastScore"; };
		if (side player == East) then { WestScore = WestScore + 1; publicVariable "WestScore"; };
	};
};
};

[] spawn {
_timelimit = (paramsArray select 0);
_scorelimit = (paramsArray select 1);
EastScore = 0;
Westscore = 0;
waitUntil {!(isNil "GameOver")};
if ((timeElapsed >= _timelimit) and (WestScore != Eastscore)) then {if (WestScore > Eastscore) then {hint "Time is up!\nUS forces win!"; sleep 5; endmission "end1"} else {hint "Time is up!\nInsurgents win!"; sleep 5; endmission "end1"};};
if ((timeElapsed >= _timelimit) and (WestScore == Eastscore)) then {hint "Time is up!\nScore is tied!\nThe match is a draw!"; sleep 5; endmission "end1"};
if (Westscore >= _scorelimit) then {if (side player == West) then {hint "Mission successful!\nOur forces are victorious!\nThe town is ours!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"} else {hint "Mission failed!\nThe infidels have taken\nthe town!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"};};
if (Eastscore >= _scorelimit) then {if (side player == East) then {hint "Mission successful!\nOur forces are victorious!\nThe town is ours!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"} else {hint "Mission failed!\nInsurgents have taken\nthe town!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"};};
};

3. This is what's left, and should only be executed server side:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_timelimit = (paramsArray select 0);
_scorelimit = (paramsArray select 1);
EastScore = 0;
Westscore = 0;

//score calculation and mission ending loop
[] spawn {
timeElapsed = 0;
missionplaying = True;
While {missionplaying} do {
	sleep 5;
	timeElapsed = timeElapsed + 5; publicVariable "timeElapsed";
	hint "working";
};
};

waitUntil {!(isNil "timeElapsed")};
waitUntil {(timeElapsed >= _timelimit) || (Westscore >= _scorelimit) || (Eastscore >= _scorelimit)};

missionplaying = false;
GameOver = true; publicVariable "GameOver";

I've not tested it. But this structure makes more sense. Tell me if something is still not working. :)

Im confused wehre do I put the bottom part?

The last code is your parameters.sqf or whatever you wanna call it. Exec it from your init.sqf like you've done before.

Thank you, it works. Now to get rid of the line with the hint on it. Hopefully i dont mess it up. By the way how close was I with my script? It looks like i was no were close to it.

EDIT: nope sorry actauly it isnt counting the time limit right and the score right. We played for 3 minutes and it counted it as 10, it also said it was a tie when it wasnt.

OK fixed again :D

And this time i tested it myself... was all working fine.

Your approach wasn't that bad. You just need to learn multipalyer locality which is pretty complicated at the beginning. :) Just search the forums for locality and try to understand what i've written for you. If you have any questions i will explain it to you.

OK fixed again :D
[/php]

Thank you and to add another parameter like fog,rain and time of day, which i already have the thing for on another mission, I would just past it to the bottom of the scripts right?

sorry for the late reply was busy doing some stuff then we got a storm that was messing with the power yesterday.

cavemans · January 5, 2011

Sorry for the bump but i need an answer.

did you even try pasting into bottom of script?

or are you content on sitting twiddling your tumbs and waiting for someone to say something...

cavemans · January 5, 2011

Yes I did...

whats been posted already in part of description.ext:

cavemans · January 5, 2011

Yes I put them int he description.exe but in order to activate them i need to put them in the init or the parameter file BUT I dont know where i can put them in it.

demonized · November 16, 2010

how was it done in the mission you took them from? look there and copy the same stuff.

cavemans · January 5, 2011

The mission I took them from didnt have the stuff i had and the script is is a weird order so I dont know.

switch (paramsArray select 0) do {
case 0: { 0 setOvercast 0; 0 setRain 0; };

case 1: { 0 setOvercast 0.8; 0 setRain 0.3; };

case 2: { 0 setOvercast 0.9; 0 setRain 0.6; };

case 3: { 0 setOvercast 1; 0 setRain 1; };

};

switch (paramsArray select 1) do {

case 0: { 0 setFog 0; };

case 1: { 0 setFog 0.3; };

case 2: { 0 setFog 0.6; };

case 3: { 0 setFog 1; };

};

thats what was put in the init of the other mission.

Hi,

Add the following to your description.ext;

   class WeatherType {  
       title = "What's the weather like?";
       values[] = {0,1,2,3};
       texts[] = {"Clear","Overcast with slight rain","Cloudy with more rain","English Summer Day"};
       default = 0;
    };
   class FogType {  
       title = "Is it a pea-souper?";
       values[] = {0,1,2,3};
       texts[] = {"Clear","Slightly Misty","London on a good day","Christ, where's my hand gone?"};
       default = 0;
    };

Then in your init.sqf add the following;

switch (WeatherType) do {
case 0: { 0 setOvercast 0; 0 setRain 0; };
case 1: { 0 setOvercast 0.8; 0 setRain 0.3; };
case 2: { 0 setOvercast 0.9; 0 setRain 0.6; };
case 3: { 0 setOvercast 1; 0 setRain 1; };
};

switch (FogType) do {
case 0: { 0 setFog 0; };
case 1: { 0 setFog 0.3; };
case 2: { 0 setFog 0.6; };
case 3: { 0 setFog 1; };
};

it will need to go AFTER

waitUntil {!(isNil "ParamInit")};

           };
       };

       if (Eastscore >= ScoreLimit) then {
           if (side player == East) then {
               hint "Mission successful!\nOur forces are victorious!\nThe town is ours!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"
           } else {
               hint "Mission failed!\nInsurgents have taken\nthe town!"; sleep 6; endmission "end1"
           };
       };
   };
};

I tested this (hosted server only), and it works for me!
