Create a class

Moustache · Post by **Moustache** » October 24th, 2011, 5:20 pm

In my mod I want to give people the option to create a custom class ingame without leaving the server or waiting till the game ends. I want to do this with a script.

I found this in the globallogic:

Code: Select all

player setclientdvar( "g_scriptMainMenu", game["menu_eog_main"] );

So I tested this in an other file:

Code: Select all

self openMenu( game["menu_eog_main"] );

menu.jpg

It opens that menu which contains Create a class.

When I change something in a custom class (with menu_eog_main) I get this two messages on the bottom left:

Unknown cmd updategamerprofile
Successfully wrote stats data

When I edit a class in that menu (for example custom class 1, change primary weapon from m16a4 to ak47) and then take a look in the normal choose class menu I see that the weapon has changed (ak47). But when I select it I get the old weapon (m16a4). But when the map rotates or I reconnect I do get the new weapon.

I have been trying to fix this for a few days now but I can't get it to work properly. Does anyone know how to fix it so I don't have to reconnect or wait on the map rotate?

I have tried to fix it with getstat and setstat.
self setstat( 201, 20 ); // set 201,customclass1,Primary Weapon, to ak47
But then I also have to reconnect first or wait for a map change to get it working.

HAve never tried it but I assume the stat file is read at the beginning of the map and therefore cannot interpret the change until after the map has reloaded.

I think the custom classes are controlled by dvar (cant remember, never tested), and if they are, then you could just edit the DVAR manually.

But how is it possible then that the menu choose the new weapon but I still get the old weapon?

Below here is a part of changeclass.menu, I think it is the part where you are talking about but I don't know what do do with it. Can you help me out?

Nope, what you need is inside _class.gsc

cac_getData()

Code: Select all

cac_getdata()
{
        if ( isDefined( self.cac_initialized ) )
                return;
 
/*...etc*/

cac_getdata is the function that create the classes, this is run everytime the player spawns. However the code above simply stops the thread from continuing. You could potentially delete it, but I do not know what strain it would cause to do so (or if it is possible at all).

I would try deleting it first to see if it does actually work and then from there if it does work, use a method of stopping the loop unless the player changes their custom class [so the loop only happens when a change is made]

I appreciate your help

Sorry that is something I forgot to tell. I already checked the script and edited the _class.gsc:

Code: Select all

cac_getdata()
{
//	if ( isDefined( self.cac_initialized ) )
//		return;
self iPrintLnBold( "^1spawning player" ); // test
self iPrintLnBold( "primary weapon ccustom class 1 = " + self getstat( 201 ) );

self iPrintLnBold( "primary weapon ccustom class 1 = " + self getstat( 201 ) );
This line always prints the old weapon. But I just think it strange that the menu shows the new weapon and I spawn with the old and the 201 stat is still the old weapon.

Also I have tried to "discconect" myself and then "connect":
self thread Callback_PlayerConnect();
self thread Callback_PlayerDisconnect();

But nothing has worked so far

All experienced modders (nearly Doctors of Scripting) will be lolling at it.

Yea I know but I just tried things that crossed my mind. I didn't give it a big chance of success.

So you are saying it actually is posible?

Or you or IzNoGod could just do it for free...

Either way, atm I am stuck as to what to do, but to be honest, I have not looked beyond what I have already given you.
Maybe when a I get an hour or two free I will look further.

I am also going to take a look at it myself today and try to find something.

Be useful or don't.
If you are not here to help, stay out the thread this is not the general section. Once may be funny, twice at a stretch but threee times and you become boring.

I tried to check all the stats but I couldn't find one that changed after editing the custom class. I also checked all the menus but failed to found the source of it.
