MP Parameters

[Silderoy 1]

So, I got a DM type mission, and I want to make a score limit and a time limit.

about the score limit, how do I even start? I mean, it should be automatic or I need to add something spesific to init.sqf/ingame?

and time limit, I can use ForceEnd with a countdown, but is there a defult way? any way to make it finish the round by the time limit you choose?

my parameters in description.ext:

class Params
{
class Score
{
	title = "$STR_mp_param_score";
	values[] = {99999, 10, 30, 50, 100};
	texts[] = {"Unlimited", "10", "30", "50", "100"};
	default = 30;
};
class Duration
{
	title = "$STR_mp_param_duration";
	values[] = {0, 600, 1800, 3600};
	texts[] = {"Unlimited", "10 Minutes", "30 Minutes", "1 Hour"};
	default = 0;
};
class TimeOfDay
{
	title = "Time of Day";
	values[] = {0,15};
	texts[] = {"Day","Night"};
	default = 0;
};
};

I did anything I need with the Time of day, need nothing about this one. only score and time limit.

Thanks,

Silderoy

Hi Silderoy,

maybe i have a solution for you time limit problem.

My description.ext

titleParam1 = "Time limit:";

valuesParam1[] = {0, 300, 600, 900};

textsParam1[] = {"Unlimited", "5 min", "10 min", "15 min"};

defValueParam1 = 900;

My init.sqf

estimatedtimeleft param1;

And my ingame trigger

The idea here is to define a class name that can be used within the scripts with the following terminology...

ClassName = ParamsArray Select 0;

Select 0 is obviously the order in which you have placed your parameters. SO Score will be select 0, Duration will be select 1, and so on.

Score = ParamsArray Select 0;

Duration = ParamsArray Select 1;

--------------------------

Anyway... to use the below might help

Inside your Description file

don't use the word Score

class MPScore
{
	title = "$STR_mp_param_score";
	values[] = {99999, 10, 30, 50, 100};
	texts[] = {"Unlimited", "10", "30", "50", "100"};
	default = 30;
               code = "";
};

now to use your score limit simply in any sqf file

An example would be to use it as follows...

MPScore= ParamsArray Select 0;
_number = scoreSide west; 
if (_number >= MPScore) then 
{

endMission "END1";

} else

{
_total = MPScore  - _number;
hint format ["Score Left before end: %1", _total];
};

hope that helps

Mikie, what is the different between my description without class name and your descirption with class name?

i tried my 2 scripts with class names but it doesnt work and i dont saw the parameter button in the lobby.

not sure what you mean - without class names - the set up shown in my example should work
