if failure?

[Moustache]

How is it possible that a script just executes a code in the if statement while the if statement isn't correct?

This is what I am talking about:

Code: Select all

if (self.clientid == warn[0])
{
	self IPrintLnBold(self.clientid);
	self IPrintLnBold(warn[0]);
}

On my screen I see:
1
0
WTF?
How can it be printed while 1 is not equal to 0?

[waywaaaard]

!=

[Moustache]

!=

I know that that means is not. But I think you don't understand me.

Why does the script print the values? Even when the values are not equal to each other?

And when I tried != I still get the same thing.

[waywaaaard]

is any other thread using those vars? Would print them out before the if and inside it. So maybe it changes. And or try to cast both to int with int(warn[0]) == int(self.clientid)

[Drofder2004]

What are the assigned values of these variable, because my guess is that we have mis-matched types (one being a string), but the code is not throwing an error.

Actually my whole system fails.
I want a system where you can send a command to the server with the player slot in it and a warning message.
My script doesn't work good. It only works when I place the command in the .cfg file. Because when I send it to the server when the server is running it doesn't work. I don't know what I am doing wrong
I hope someone can and is willing to help me.

Code: Select all

SayPlayer()
{
	tokens = strTok( getDvar("jmp_say"), ":");
	if(tokens.size == 2)
	{
		players = getEntArray("player", "classname");
		for(i=0; i<players.size; i++)
		{
			playernum = players[i] getEntityNumber();
			if(playernum == int(tokens[0] ))
			{
				players[i] iprintlnbold(tokens[1]);
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	setDvar("jmp_say", "");
}

Mabye try something like that. I havent tested it though

[Drofder2004]

The above should work fine.

Although to add the loop:

Code: Select all

SayPlayer()
{
   for(;;)
   {
      setDvar("jmp_say", "");

      while(getDvar("jmp_say") == "")
         wait 0.05;

      tokens = strTok( getDvar("jmp_say"), ":");
      if(tokens.size == 2)
      {
         players = getEntArray("player", "classname");
         for(i=0; i<players.size; i++)
         {
            playernum = players[i] getEntityNumber();
            if(playernum == int(tokens[0] ))
            {
               // This is where you would insert your "if true" code
               players[i] iprintlnbold(tokens[1]);
               break;
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Thank you very much, that script works perfect

Only combined with my code, there is something strange.
Because I always see the IPrintLineBold, but not the text that should be on the hud element.

I just start the server, join it. Put in console: /rcon login [rcon_pass]
Then I type in console: /rcon set warn_player "0:Do ^1not ^3spam ^7please"
I get the IPrintLineBold warning and after 2 seconds the HUD elements. The black screen with the warning. But I don't get the: "You can continue in [number]" text.

And when I type /reconnect in console.
And then type this in console: /rcon set warn_player "0:Do ^1not ^3spam ^7please"
I get the IPrintLineBold message, but after 2 seconds I only get a black screen. Without any text in it.

How is that possible?

[Drofder2004]

you may need to add a small wait before assigning the label/text to a hud.

[Moustache]

I don't see any text now, only a black screen

[Drofder2004]

Use ".sort" on all your hud elements, start at 100 for the black and 101 for the text.

[Moustache]

Thanks again, that worked

But when I reconnect and type in the command again I first see the IPrintLnBold message but then I get a black screen without any text in it.

[Drofder2004]

For testing purposes, change the "setText(message)" to "setText("TESTING")"

Post results.

[Moustache]

Still the same.

Only a black screen after reconnect.
