Running a function on every player disconnect

I'm attempting to write a script for my server to display player name and guid (8 digit only) on connect and disconnect.
It works fine on connect, but I can't get it to trigger disconnect.
Is the level notified on player disconnect?
Or what?
I'm so confused

I would assume you would need to retrieve the GUID before the game "disconnects" the player, however the GUID is not a member of the entity.
You may be able to do (onConnect)
self._guid = self getGUID();
And then on disconnect, you can simply recall that value.
I have not tested it.

Thanks for your reply Drof, I've had a busy few days and only was able to check this now.
I was more wondering what is notified when a player disconnects.
If I were to write a script to run on disconnect, I'd need
Code: Select all
for (;;) {
level/self waittill("<what do I put here?> ");
// code
//...
}

This is purely hypothetical and may not work, the disconnect code is mostly hard coded and I am not sure at what point entity information is cleared.
Code: Select all
onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player._guid = player getGuid();
player thread onPlayerDisconnect();
}
}
onPlayerDisconnect()
{
self waittill("disconnect");
iprintln(self._guid);
}

Play around with maps\mp\gametypes\_callbacksetup.gsc
This is the part you will want to deal with:
Code: Select all
/*================
Called when a player drops from the server.
Will not be called between levels.
self is the player that is disconnecting.
================*/
CodeCallback_PlayerDisconnect()
{
    self notify("disconnect");
    [[level.callbackPlayerDisconnect]]();
}
you can add here
Code: Select all
level notify("disconnecting", self);
or another function. But I suggest to avoid modifying the stock file, better use the [[level.callbackPlayerDisconnect]]() function, which is defined in gametype script files.

Sorry about my lack of reply.
University work has kept be rather busy for a few weeks, and just general life stuff.
I haven't been able to get this working (mind you, I haven't had the time I'd like to put into it) but thank you Drofder and megazor for your help
Now I have another question (of course).
This is on a server level (but it's still modding so I guess it's in the right spot) for the cod4 CJ mod.
If I were to write a function to automatically promote someone from a list of people given by a dvar, what command do I use to actually promote them, as I (obviously) can't access the functions that would be defined in the scripts within the mod.ff from outside, what is used to promote someone outside of that?
A bit of background, I'm relatively new to scripting, but I've recently started studying Computer Science and I've only really got a few months of programming experience (and in Java, at that). Hence why my syntax may be off and I may miss some obvious functions.

The function is:
Code: Select all
player codjumper\_cj_admins::promotePlayer(1);
The DVar you are suggesting already exists as:
cj_autoadmin
cj_adminguids

Thanks, I needed a way to read from other dvar lists to automatically promote players, as our clan is large and I can foresee the cj_adminguids string getting too long to be read.
So I need to read from multiple dvars.
Thanks Drof

How exactly do you use this function? This would be great for what i'm needing =P
