Promod scripting help

[izak1996]

So I made promodlive server 2.14 and I want a knife round, but it doesn't work... So I made a script, that takes all your weapons and gives you only your knife and empty deagle, but I don't know how to make it so it will execute only in knife round. Is there a command that returns round number or something, e.g. getRound()
Any help will be appreciated

I assume you want the knife only round on the first round each map? If so at the beginning of your knife script use

if( !isDefined(level.kniferound) ) followed by your knife script, and at the end of your knifescript, level.kniferound = true;

This means on the first round it will read the script, level.kniferound won't be defined so it will take players guns etc, and then defines level.kniferound. Every round after it will know that kniferound is defined, and so skip the knife script.

I added strat time and now the knife round does work. The script on the other hand doesn't. But that doesn't matter now, since the knife round works, I don't actually need the script.
Thanks anyway.

Oh and by the way, when I did what you wrote, the script executed in each round, so it was like every round was knife round, then I changed some things and it only executed in the first round, but if you joined in the middle of the game it still executed. I'm not sure why, though

Well glad that you got it sorted, it depends where you were calling the script from really. If it was threaded everytime a player spawns it would be different to everytime a player connects, etc.

Now I found out there actually is a command, that gives you the round number, or at least number of rounds played
game["roundsplayed"];
so if I'd put if statement with this, it probably would work... too bad I didn't found this earlier, it would have saved me a lot of time

Hello again!
I made a script for k/d ratio but I have a problem, when I had 2 kills and 3 deaths my ratio was 0.6666667... Is there a command or something with which you can set how many places there are after the decimal point? Like there is setprecision in c++?
Any help will be appreciated.

Code: Select all

((2/3)*100.00)/100.00

Basic idea, depends on how many decimals you want.

[Drofder2004]

Code: Select all

((2/3)*100.00)/100.00

Basic idea, depends on how many decimals you want.

Should you not be rounding down after the multiply or does the use of the ".00" change the format?

[Rezil]

Haven't tested it but I seem to recall having similar problems in the past. Dividing/multiplying by a less precise number SHOULD set the precision to the number with less decimals, rounded down(because the extra decimal values are 'shaved' off).

[izak1996]

So if I would want to have like this every time (not just with 2 and 3) it would be something like this?

Code: Select all

ratio = ((kills / deaths)*100.00)/100.00;

[megazor]

Code: Select all

ratio = 10000.0 * kills / deaths;
ratio = int(ratio);
ratio = ratio/10000.0;

you will have 5 numbers after the decimal point.

[izak1996]

I just used this instead:

Code: Select all

ratio = int((kills / deaths)*100.00)/100.00;

It works perfectly, with 2 decimal numbers
Thanks anyway

Yours is actually the same as mine. I used three lines to make it simple for understanding.

And once again I need your help. This is my problem: I created a HUD element, that prints welcome message when you join the server, but the problem is that it prints the message in every round. I tried what F|Madness|U said in his first post, I added if statement:

Code: Select all

 if(!isDefined(self.welcome))
{
...
self.welcome = true;
} 

... didn't work. I tried threading it on player connect as well as on player spawn, none worked. Does anyone know a solution?
Any help will be appreciated
