SAPP

Yes, and have 0 players in your server. :)

Anyways, 7.3 is out with these var commands and other stuff, so you can try and tell me if you were able to make your mod with this.
Also, I made this assists-as-hp thing and works fine:

init.txt:
var_add health 2
(As a global variable, since it's only used as temporary, no need one for every player)

events.txt:
event_alive 'var_set health $hp;var_set health *100;var_conv health;cevent hpassists $n;var_conv health'
event_custom $ename:hpassists 'assists $n $health'
event_die 'assists $n 0'

Here's what I have of a hunt mode so far

I am having a problem with it though, the player variable 'playerhunted' is never 1, even when i explicitly set it to 1 and remove any case where it's set to 0.\

Also, can you add an event_load event? event_start doesn't fire when I run reload, which is quite often when trying to debug this behemoth.

Use Sapp's init.txt for that?

And it's because you have to specify which player's variable you want to set, like 'var_set playerhunted 1 $n'
Perhaps I forgot to mention it, hehe.

I forgot sapp had its own init :v

Also, I've encountered some strange bug pertaining to maths.
Using what you wrote, when the player is near 0 health (under 0.1 or 0.01), it becomes some absurd number like 200. That is, the converted variable, not the actual $hp.

Also also, will it be possible to perform arithmetic between two variables and not just a variable and a number? I've found myself trying to calculate the difference in health when a player's health changes, but the result is always 0. I could use a counter variable, but I'm not sure I want to write an event loop every time somebody takes damage.

That might be just the bug in cevent, try with the new version 7.3.1...

I don't exactly understand what you mean, you can do like var_set oldhp -$hp $n
But if you want to write such complex scripts just use Phasor or wait till I add Lua (if ever) :D

Also, do you have Skype/Xfire where we can talk easier abt these modding stuff?

Hey sehe, the desync things is still happening for me with custom_sleep 8 (which is apparently Halo's default according to xhalo.tk). Any other suggested values?

You need to set it to custom_sleep 0

Oh OK, I assumed that I wanted what default Halo used instead of what SAPP used since I've never ever had this problem with a default Halo CE dedicated server. Only happens with SAPP.

I'll try 0 this weekend and see what happens.

Sapp 8.0 with basic Lua is out: http://xhalo.tk/changelog/

thank you very much, but why have not my servers with the 8.0 update?
