SAPP

[SonicXP]

Because I've written this three times now, I'm pasting this here so I don't lose it again. It's a banshee dogfight game script, best played on gephyrophobia with reverse tag.

events.txt:

event_start $mode:Dogfight $map:Gephyrophobia 'cheat_jetpack 1'event_spawn $mode:Dogfight 't $n spawn$rand;w8 1;spawn vehi vehicles\banshee\banshee_mp $n;venter $n'
event_die $mode:Dogfight 'w8 3;vdel $n'
event_alive $mode:Dogfight $z<=-32 'say $n "Out of Bounds, penalized 50% health";m $n 0 0 10;hp $n /2;spawn vehi vehicles\banshee\banshee_mp $n;venter $n'

Edit:
Also, pleeaase look into custom variables so I don't have to do things with opensauce like this

event_spawn $team:red 'if (not (and (!= (runtime_integer_get 20) 0) (!= (runtime_integer_get 21) 0) (!= (runtime_integer_get 22) 0) true)) (begin (runtime_integer_set 20 (* (object_data_get_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "x") 100)) (runtime_integer_set 21 (* (object_data_get_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "y") 100)) (runtime_integer_set 22 (* (object_data_get_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "z") 100)));object_data_set_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "x" (/ (runtime_integer_get 20) 100);object_data_set_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "y" (/ (runtime_integer_get 21) 100);object_data_set_real (unit (list_get (players) (- $n 1))) "position" "z" (/ (runtime_integer_get 22) 100)'

Didn't actually work, but certain operations do, as long as they take integers. I tried at one point to use players' shields as temporary storage, which actually almost worked, but the runtime_integer commands don't like receiving floats back. Also opensauce breaks the start event, so it renders most things useless anyways.

If you need float support, Halo has 7 unused "f0" to "f6" globals. However, they're literally global. Their values will persist from one game to the next. OS's runtime values are based entirely within the game state, which means they're reset on a new map (but they're also saved when the game is saved, unlike "f0" etc).

You also use the runtime_vector stuff, which operates on floats

I tried to add "custom variables" like two times, but including it to the event system isn't that easy as it seems for the first time, so it ended up as "commented out" code as I cba'd to mess with this, and also because I tough I (or Btcc22) will rather add Lua, but it would be again lot of work. I think I wanted it to work like for ex. you could add variables like v1, v2, ... v16, and then using them as event_die v$n<3 '...'
Guess I can give it a try again.

i love you

I think I tried to use vectors at one point, but I also didn't quite understand blam at the time. Maybe I can get it to work now.

even having something like $v1-16 and commands like setv1-16 would help

edit:
Now I remember why I didn't use f0-6, it won't set on the server console.

edit 2:
Is it possible to make commands like assists accept a float? Not that I want to display a decimal in the scoreboard, but if I were insane enough to try and show somebody's health * 100 and rounded for instance

[Kornman00]

Were you doing "(set f0 <value>)"?

Doing "f0 <value>" only works when it is the only expression being entered. IE, "halo(f0 <value>". If you were evaluating a (begin) expression in the server console, you'd have to use (set)

Well yesterday I was working on this till 3am but I think it worth it in the end... You will be able to add 2*3 types of variables, string, int, float both for global and player. They are working just like the generic sapp variables.
var_add <name> <type>, where type 0 - global string, 1 - global int, 2 - global float, 3 - player string, 4 - player int, 5 - player float

Some bad examples for usage for globals:
var_add time 1
var_add min 1
var_add sec 1

events.txt:
event_start 'var_set time 0'
commands.txt:
timeloop 'w8 1;var_set time +1;timeloop'
time 'var_set min $time;var_set min /60;var_set sec $time; var_set sec `;say $n "Current game is running since $min minutes and $sec seconds!"' -1
init.txt:
timeloop


and for player:
var_add warnings 4
events.txt:
event_tk 'var_set warnings +1 $n;cevent warn'
event_custom $ename:warn $warnings=3 'say $n "One more warn and you will be kicked, $name!"'
event_custom $ename:warn $warnings=4 'k $n "Too many warnings."'
commands.txt:
warn #n 'var_set warnings +1 #n;say #n "You got a warning from admin $name!";cevent warn #n' 3

A bit hacky but works fine, the rest is up to your fantasy... :P

Crazy and cool idea, but it's not possible atm, I will might add a converting function tho for custom variables.

I had some wildly different results with that
I could not set f0 doing 'f0 <value>' in any case, but I could use 'set f0 <value>' on the client console. Neither method worked on the server.
I also just tried wrapping it in a begin, no luck. It's like something on the server is preventing me from changing the value through the console.

This is amazing, I can write a fully featured drop-in-able and configurable script to buy vehicles

In regards to the custom events, I haven't had any success using variables like $assists or $hp there, but $n (and supposedly the new variables) work. Is this intentional or a bug? With the custom variables, I can actually work around it now, but still.

[Kornman00]

It sounds as if the server you're using isn't properly modified to allow any hs function execute from the console. If you were using OS in a client, then you'd be able to as we kill any code that inhibits hs function access.

Bascially: use OpenSauce. It taste good. Nice program. You like.
