random picking people???

[IrishStorm]

hey there,
how would i go about getting my mod to pick random people from axis?

or setting it so that only one player can join allies?

[IrishStorm]

anyone?

first problem:

you have the players array and the you can check if the player is allies or axis, so place all axis in one array and then go over random 0 - array.length to get a player of the axis

2nd:
I am not sure 'cause I don't know if you can restrict that, but you can force all people if already one is axis to autoset to allies

Code: Select all

random_pick()
{
    while(1)
    {
       temp = [];
       players = getentarray("player","classname");
       for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
    {
       if(players[i].sessionstate != "spectator" && !players[i].ispicked)temp[temp.size] = players[i];
    }
       if(!temp.size)return;picked = temp[randomInt(temp.size)];
       if(temp.size == 1)
       break;
       wait 1;
       if(numofplayers("allies") > 0)
       return;
       continue;
    }
        break;
    }
        picked endon("disconnect");
        picked.isfirstpicked = true;
        picked.ispicked = true;
        picked.switching_teams = true;
        picked.madepicked = true;
        iprintln(picked.name + " ^2is the ^1Hunter");
        }
	}
}

Its seem a little over complicate for simply picking a player on a team...

Which game are you working on?

[IrishStorm]

cod5

[waywaaaard]

you can also

do

getplayersarray

random
if == allies
break

while(getplayersarray > 0)

kind of pseudocode

getplayersarray

random
if == allies
break

while(getplayersarray > 0)

kind of pseudocode

would that be for setting the limit of player per team or random picking?
