Store a value for each player

[bigshotking 11]

I'm trying to make a script that keeps track of how many civilians each player kills.

i.e.

Player1 has killed 1 civilian so a variable holding the number of kills is stored for that player.

Player2 has killed 3 civilian so a marker marks him on the map as hostile and changes his rating to -100.

In conclusion is there a way to store a value for each player?

Thanks for any help,

You can have a global array on the server:

civKillCounts = [];
civKillCounts set [0, [p1, 0]];
civKillCounts set [1, [p2, 0]];
...

And then you increase the second value that corresponds to player killing a civilian at first index.

Sweet thank you Engima. If I run into any problems I'll be sure to post back

You can also use set and getVariable on the player unit objects; http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getVariable

Or Engima's example but easier lookup:

civKillUnits = [];
civKillCounts = [];

// update count
_id = count civKillUnits;
civKillUnits set [_id, _unit];
civKillCounts set [_id, _count];

// get killCount for specified unit:
_id = civKillUnits find _unit;
if (_id > -1) then {
 _count = civKillCounts select _id;
};

Thanks Sickboy, I'll be sure to try that out.
