How to add Points system

[1para{god-father} 105]

I am trying to keep track of a score system not for each play but as a whole to display at the end of a mission. , i.e each time an AI is killed I need to add some points, would I have to add a EH to each AI that I spawn in ? if so what would be the best way to do this ? and would this cause any notable Lagg ?

These are the scripts i normally use to spawn AI in

_dis = 50;
_ang = random 300;
_dx = sin(_ang)*_dis;
_dy = cos(_ang)*_dis;
_positionToSpawnIn = [((getpos _vehiclscud1) select 0) + _dx, ((getpos _vehiclscud) select 1) + _dy, 0];
_upsgrp1 = [1,_positionToSpawnIn,1,["marker_scud1","spawned","showmarker","nowait","delete:",120]] execVM "SCRIPTS\UPSMON\MON_SPAWN.SQF";

or

_Grp1 = [_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "EAST" >> "BIS_TK_INS" >> "Infantry" >> "TK_INS_Group")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
[_Grp1, _pos, 80] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;

Or any other suggestion to spawn in :)

_number = scoreSide west; is this what your mean? a score per team?

[1para{god-father} 105]

Yes but i need to be able to control i.e

Every OPFOR killed +5 point every Vehicle destroyed +10 points etc..

If played dies - points etc...

[iceman77 19]

use killed or MPKilled EH. MPKilled should stay on a player upon death/respawn.

Thanks,

Still unsure really what to do !

so forgive me but how would I add a EH to a group and add the score to a PublicVariable ?

?

///Spawn in group
_Grp1 = [_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "EAST" >> "BIS_TK_INS" >> "Infantry" >> "TK_INS_Group")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
[_Grp1, _pos, 80] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;

///add EH to group for score to each AI killed it would add 5 points to a variable ???////////
_Grp1 addMPEventHandler ["MPkilled", { addScore 5; }]; 	

[iceman77 19]

Something like this, I'm not sure what exactly is your intent. I didn't test this and also, someone may have a better solution.

init.sqf

is (isNil "scor") then { scor = 0 };
publicVariable "scor"; 

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_nil=[]execVM "groups.sqf";

groups.sqf

_Grp1 = [_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "EAST" >> "BIS_TK_INS" >> "Infantry" >> "TK_INS_Group")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; [_Grp1, _pos, 80] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;
[_Grp1, _pos, 80] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;


..other groups w/e...

sleep 1;

_nil=[]execVM "eventhandlers.sqf";

eventhandler.sqf

waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_MPF_InitDone")};
{
       if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { scor = scor + 5; publicVariable "scor"; _text = parseText format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }]

       }

} forEach allUnits;

{
       if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { scor = scor + 10;  publicVariable "scor"; _text = parseText  format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }]

       }

} forEach vehicles;

waitUntil { scor == 100 }; // use {scor == (paramsArray select #)} instead if you set up lobby parameters

_text = parseText  format["The final score is %1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE

Cool that should get me started !!

Thanks !

[1para{god-father} 105]

Would there be any way to just have the points added if Bluefor kill OPFOR as i noticed you get points some times as they Kill themselves or each-other by mistake.

Thanks

[iceman77 19]

Not sure if this will work.

waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_MPF_InitDone")};

{

        if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (!isNull _this select 1) then {scor = scor + 5;  publicVariable "scor"; _text = parseText  format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }}]

       }

} forEach allUnits;

{
       if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (!isNull _this select 1) then {scor = scor + 10;  publicVariable  "scor"; _text = parseText  format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call  RE }}]

       }

} forEach vehicles;

OR

waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_MPF_InitDone")};

{

        if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (alive _this select 1) then {scor = scor + 5;  publicVariable "scor"; _text = parseText   format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }}]

       }

} forEach allUnits;

{
       if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (alive _this select 1) then {scor = scor + 10;  publicVariable  "scor"; _text = parseText   format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call  RE }}]

       }

} forEach vehicles;

updated with another possible solution.

[1para{god-father} 105]

Thanks - the points still toted up when they killed each other, i tried this and it seems to work , would it work on dedi do you know ?

    _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if ([color="#FF0000"]_this select 1 == player)[/color] then {scor = scor + 10;  publicVariable  "scor"; _text = parseText   format["%1",scor];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call  RE }}]

[iceman77 19]

I'm not sure.

[1para{god-father} 105]

I am spawning more group later and trying to add the EH to the group but i get a error? did not thyink i could issue it to Allunits again would it add another EH ? i.e 2 to each group ?

Please advise what i ma going wrong here ...thanks

_ang = random 360;  
_dis = 200;
_dx = sin(_ang)*_dis;
_dy = cos(_ang)*_dis;
_positionToSpawnIn = [((getpos _vehicleambush) select 0) + _dx, ((getpos _vehicleambush) select 1) + _dy, 0];
_upsgrp1 = [1,_positionToSpawnIn,1,["ambushconvoy1","spawned","nowait","showmarker","delete:",60]] execVM "SCRIPTS\UPSMON\MON_SPAWN.SQF";
sleep .2;

{

        if (side _x == East) then
       {
           _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (_this select 1 == player) then {totalscore = totalscore + 5;  publicVariable "totalscore"; _text = parseText   format["%1",totalscore];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }}]

       }

} forEach _upsgrp1;

RPT error

Whilst the correction offered by Iceman above is certainly correct, I think the problem here is also that the spawning script is not returning the group spawned.

[1para{god-father} 105]

Yep I think you are correct , as it does not work , but if i use "allUnits" it works so the group is not being returned.

I presume it will not add another EH so will stick with allUnits

[Foxy 1]

I think it will add another EH. You can double them up so to speak.

[1para{god-father} 105]

just double checked on wiki and it will not overwrite a existing EH so should be OK

"if you add an event handler of type "killed" and there already exists one, the old one doesn't get overwritten"

[Foxy 1]

I take that to mean there will then be 2 EH and so you will get double the points?

[iceman77 19]

I don't understand why you can't put the eventhandler just on the newly spawned group...

_ang = random 360;  
_dis = 200; 
_dx = sin(_ang)*_dis;
_dy = cos(_ang)*_dis; 
_positionToSpawnIn = [((getpos _vehicleambush) select 0) + _dx, ((getpos _vehicleambush) select 1) + _dy, 0]; 
_upsgrp1 = [1,_positionToSpawnIn,1,["ambushconvoy1","spawned","nowait","showmarker","delete:",60]] execVM "SCRIPTS\UPSMON\MON_SPAWN.SQF"; 
sleep .2;

{           

                  if (side _x == East) then 
                    {             
                       _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { if (_this  select 1 == player) then {totalscore = totalscore + 5;  publicVariable  "totalscore"; _text = parseText    format["%1",totalscore];[nil,nil,rHint,_text] call RE }}]        
                    } 


} forEach [color=#ff0000]units[/color] _upsgrp1;

[Foxy 1]

If the spawn script isn't set up to return the group the handle indicates the script, not the group array, hence the error at the end: Error foreach: Type Script, expected Array

[iceman77 19]

Ahh nvm, I see he's using upsmon. I assumed he was actually creating a group, didn't look to hard .

*(searches for glasses)

[Foxy 1]

Its also my understanding that using execVM the script won't return anything anyway... I think you have to use call.

[iceman77 19]

It's early, but I have another idea, that may or may not work, as I'm not so familiar with upsmon (only vaguely). What if you spawned a group normally and then set the leaders init to run upsmon? Then you could ad the EH to the group itself.

[Foxy 1]

Good idea. The only alternative I can think of would be adjusting the UPSmon spawn script to return the group and call it instead. I don't think adding the EH to allUnits is going to work... but I've been wrong before.
