Saving a player stat from a map script.

[F |Madness| U]

Is this possible? I know you can set player stats from within mods, to keep track of useful information. However can you set similar stats from a custom map? For example I want to save a player stat which records the time in which they completed the map, I know you can save these times on particular servers using dvars, but if the server is rebooted, or the player joins a different server, it won't have their saved time.

So yeah, anybody know if this is possible and how to go about doing it if it is?

Thanks.

In theory, yes. You can save their time as a simple variable when the player connects(onConnected, get the connected player, add a var to the player entity). For permanent saving you could try openFile and the file read functions.

I believe in CoD4 you can save to the data file (similar to how CJ mod gives XP to a player).
I don't have the code to hand, but I am fairly certain all the stats fall under:

self.pers["stat"];

Use Windows grep (or something similar) to search for ".pers"
