Map restart

[darkpheonixz4x]

Hey guys,

i was making a plugin for promod (as it had a .gsc file to add custom functions, like codjumper). I added a toggle fullbright script and it works great!

My problem is that this only works when the server does /fast_restart. It does not load up the function when i try /map_restart or when it actually rotates the map automatically.

Any suggestions/fixes?

Thanks,

Sounds like you're calling the function too late in the script, which would explain why it works on fast_restart when the map stays the same. Can't really offer any more help without knowing where your script is and such.

Start by posting the script, maybe?

This part is in the _rank.gsc. onJoinedTeam, onJoinedSpectators and onPlayerSpawned is threaded by onPlayerConnect().

Code: Select all

onJoinedTeam()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
        for(;;)
        while(1)
        {
            
                self waittill("joined_team");
                self thread removeRankHUD();
                self iPrintlnBold("^2Press your ^1FRAG ^2and ^1USE ^2key TOGETHER to toggle ^7fullbright");
        }
}
 
 
onJoinedSpectators()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
        for(;;)
        {
                self waittill("joined_spectators");
                self thread removeRankHUD();
        }
}
          
 
onPlayerSpawned()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
        for(;;)
        while(1)
        {
                self waittill("spawned_player");
                self thread fullbrighttoggle();
 
                if(!isdefined(self.hud_rankscroreupdate))
                {
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate = newClientHudElem(self);
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.horzAlign = "center";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.vertAlign = "middle";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignX = "center";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignY = "middle";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.x = 0;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.y = -60;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.font = "default";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.fontscale = 2.0;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.archived = false;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.color = (0.5,0.5,0.5);
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate maps\mp\gametypes\_hud::fontPulseInit();
                }
        }
}

and the fullbright toggle script:

Code: Select all

FullbrightToggle() 
{
        self endon( "disconnect" );
        
        fullbright = false;
        
        while( 1 ) {
                
                wait( 0.05 );
        
                 if( self usebuttonpressed() && self fragbuttonpressed() )
 {
                        
                        
                        if( fullbright )
                                fullbright = false;
                        else
                                fullbright = true;
                        
                        
                        setFullbright( fullbright );
                        
                        
                        while( self usebuttonpressed() && self fragbuttonpressed() )
                                wait( 0.05 );
                
                }       
        }
}
 
 
setFullbright( toggle ) {
 
        
        if( toggle )
                self setClientDvar( "r_fullbright", 1 );
 
        else
                self setClientDvar( "r_fullbright", 0 );
 
}

You said there was a gsc file to add your own commands, is that file 'rank' or is there another file?

There are no problems with the code from what I can see, and if there are no other files in the tree, then there is opssibly a load order in the core of promod that does this.

edit:

Noticed this in script, blank loop. (line 5 and line 32)

Code: Select all

 for(;;)

Not sure what it is doing there, but it certainly isn't helping.

[darkpheonixz4x]

Yes its the _rank.gsc

[Drofder2004]

did you try deleting the pointless "for loops".

[darkpheonixz4x]

Yep, here's the updated script.

Code: Select all

onJoinedTeam()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
       
        while(1)
        {
           
                self waittill("joined_team");
                self thread removeRankHUD();
                self iPrintlnBold("^2Press your ^1FRAG ^2and ^1USE ^2key TOGETHER to toggle ^7fullbright");
        }
}
 
 
onJoinedSpectators()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
        for(;;)
        {
                self waittill("joined_spectators");
                self thread removeRankHUD();
        }
}
         
 
onPlayerSpawned()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
 
       
        while(1)
        {
                self waittill("spawned_player");
                self thread fullbrighttoggle();
 
                if(!isdefined(self.hud_rankscroreupdate))
                {
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate = newClientHudElem(self);
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.horzAlign = "center";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.vertAlign = "middle";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignX = "center";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignY = "middle";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.x = 0;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.y = -60;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.font = "default";
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.fontscale = 2.0;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.archived = false;
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate.color = (0.5,0.5,0.5);
                        self.hud_rankscroreupdate maps\mp\gametypes\_hud::fontPulseInit();
                }
        }
}

I'm thinking that the problem is because its the _rank.gsc. Do you think threading my function in another gsc like _globallogic would work?

[Drofder2004]

If you have access to globallogic, then I see no reason not to use it. Globallogic already has the functions you are using, you can simply insert your extra functions in them.
