Lua script about the intermission [help pls]

[Luk4ward]

Hi,

Im wondering is it possible to write such lua:

Code: Select all

when the intermission stars then:

exec some cmds

elseif intermission time - 5 seconds then

exec some cmds

it has to be written in tricky way? I meant which will count the time from the start of round or smth?

thx for any help, regards

[nano]

etadmin_mod can display some statistics when the round is over. You could download the source code and look at what messages it reacts. I know that you can read something like "Timelimit hit" in the console when the time is over.

[Luk4ward]

Yes i was thinking about it too. Btw dnt want to do such thing in etadmin. I found this:

Code: Select all

log("Timelimit: $timelimit")
( $line eq "Exit: Wolf EndRound." || $line eq "Exit: Timelimit hit." )

btw how can i exec some files with cmds inside) in lua?

Regards

[nano]

There is no such function that allows you to exec commands from a file, but it shouldn’t be that hard to write such one on your own.

Edit: What about the following?

Code: Select all

et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec commands.txt")

[McSteve]

The way nano said is the way I would do it. I'm sure there is a simple trigger you can pick up for when the round starts, just look for "FIGHT!" or something.

Code: Select all

intermission_time = <put_yours_here> * 1000
endofmap = false
function et_Print&#40;text&#41;
    if text == "Exit&#58; Timelimit hit.\n" or text == "Exit&#58; Wolf EndRound.\n" then
        endofmap = true
        next_exec = levelTime + &#40;intermission_time - 5000&#41;
        -- do something here
   end
end
function et_RunFrame&#40;lvltime&#41;
    levelTime = lvltime
    if endofmap then
        if next_exec <= levelTime then
           endofmap = false
           -- do something else here
        end
    end
end

the gamestate cvar might help you

[Luk4ward]

@Vetinari

hmm, nope, doesnt work :

intermission_time = 60 * 1000
endofmap = false
function et_Print(text)
if text == "Exit: Timelimit hit.\n" or text == "Exit: Wolf EndRound.\n" then
endofmap = true
next_exec = levelTime + (intermission_time - 5000)
et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg")
end
end
function et_RunFrame(lvltime)
levelTime = lvltime
if endofmap then
if next_exec <= levelTime then
endofmap = false
et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_off.cfg")
end
end
end

@ReyalP

hmm, can u explain this?:>I havent seen such cvar...

Regards and thanks for the replies and your ideas

gamestate is used by the game to keep track of what state (warmup, playing intermission etc) the game is in. The values are defined by the following enum in q_shared.h

Code: Select all

// NERVE - SMF - wolf server/game states
typedef enum {
	GS_INITIALIZE = -1,
	GS_PLAYING,
	GS_WARMUP_COUNTDOWN,
	GS_WARMUP,
	GS_INTERMISSION,
	GS_WAITING_FOR_PLAYERS,
	GS_RESET
} gamestate_t;

edit:
For the non-C folks, that means GS_INITIALIXE is -1, GS_PLAYING is 0 etc.

[McSteve]

I think I see what you are trying to do Luk4ward, you want some fun settings during warmup yes? Try this:

Code: Select all

function et_InitGame( levelTime, randomSeed, restart )

	gamestate = tonumber(et.trap_Cvar_Get( "gamestate" ))

	if gamestate == 0 then	-- GS_PLAYING 
		et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_off.cfg \n")
	elseif gamestate == 1 then	-- GS_WARMUP_COUNTDOWN
		et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg \n")
	elseif gamestate == 2 then	-- GS_WARMUP
		et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg \n")
	end

end

I dont know what your server settings are, so I put in both warmup cases (wait for ready or begin countdown immediately).

[Luk4ward]

aaa, dnt know about such cvar, thanks for explanation. And thx McSteve for code, its working . I modified it a bit and tried various ways with tests and still no result, eh

last code:

Code: Select all

function et_InitGame( levelTime, randomSeed, restart )

   gamestate = tonumber(et.trap_Cvar_Get( "gamestate" ))
   
   wuptime=0 
     						if gamestate == 2 then   -- GS_WARMUP
															  							
   							et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg \n")
   							   							    					
      											repeat
      														   	  								    	  										
    	  								  	et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "cpmsay  \"^3FUN MODE ^2ON ^8(only for warmup)\n\"")
    	  								  	
    	  								  	wuptime=wuptime+5000
    	  										    	  										
    	  								    until wuptime==55000		    
    	  						     	  							
 																		if (wuptime==55000) then    				
 					
 						   											et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_off.cfg \n")
 						   											
 						   											end	
 						   							 						   											
 						   	end				
    
end

p.s sorry for the mess, but i couldnt post better, eh

I'll offer the following advice for now:

1. Sort your nesting if you want to show your code to anyone else.
2. Write pseudocode before starting any script, no matter how small.
3. Learn that 99% of writing a program/script is all about DEBUGGING (random statistic 4tw).

Someone may be kind enough to write the script for you, but it looks like you are not a million miles from being able to do this yourself. Give it another go and see how you get on.

[McSteve]

Pah, I got bored so here you go. Untested though, gimme a shout if it doesnt work or attempt the debug yourself.

Code: Select all

function et_InitGame( levelTime, randomSeed, restart ) 

	notify = 0
	local gamestate = tonumber(et.trap_Cvar_Get( "gamestate" )) 

	if gamestate == 0 then   -- GS_PLAYING 
     	et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_off.cfg \n") 
		notify = 1
	elseif gamestate == 1 then   -- GS_WARMUP_COUNTDOWN 
		et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg \n") 
	elseif gamestate == 2 then   -- GS_WARMUP 
		et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "exec fun_on.cfg \n") 
	end 

end 

function et_RunFrame(leveltime)

	if notify == 1 then return end
	if math.mod(leveltime, 5000) ~= 0 then return end
	
	et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_APPEND, "qsay  \"^3FUN MODE ^2ON ^8(only for warmup)\"\n")
	
end

[Luk4ward]

heh, thx, but i think ill stay with the modification of your first script

cheers
