Hey list,
In my mod I want the winner of a round to be announced with a hud print
center and print console.
This will work by score(mind you, score is seperated from the frags
already).
I don't really have any experience when it comes to selecting the
highest score out of multiple objects(players in this case)
With the help of a example I could remember from a C++ guide, I cooked
up the following:
void CHL2MPRules::DecideRoundWinner2( void )
{
#ifndef CLIENT_DLL
if ( g_fGameOver )
return;
int previouswinner = 0;
// count players, leave out spectators
for ( int i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++ )
{
CBasePlayer *pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( i );
CBasePlayer *pPreviousPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( previouswinner );
if ( !pPlayer || pPlayer->GetTeamNumber() == TEAM_SPECTATOR )
continue;
// should only be initialized once in the loop
static int iHighestScore = 0;
// if this player's score is higher then the previous highest
then set current player as the winner
if( pPlayer->GetPlayerScore() > iHighestScore )
{
// change the highest score so it can be compared again next
time this loops
iHighestScore = pPlayer->GetPlayerScore();
// mark this player as (potential) winner
pPlayer->SetRoundWinner( true );
// if i is not 0, then there is likely a previous player
with a lower score
if( i )
pPreviousPlayer->SetRoundWinner( false );
// mark this player so he can be recognized as the previous
winner if needed
previouswinner = i;
}
}
// second player counter loop, cycles through the players, then
displays a message when it's found the winner
for ( int j = 0; j < MAX_PLAYERS; j++ )
{
CBasePlayer *pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( j );
if ( !pPlayer )
continue;
// did the loop find the winner? if so display the message and
break the loop
if ( pPlayer->IsRoundWinner() )
{
UTIL_ClientPrintAll( HUD_PRINTCENTERCONSOLE, "Player '%s1'
Wins", pPlayer->GetPlayerName() );
break;
}
}
#endif
}
-------
As far as I know it should work, but may not be very efficient.
Also I do realize that players with the same score will not be counted
as winners, I first want to know if this way of finding the winner is
correct and works, once I know that I can fiddle with it so players with
the same score won't be left out. Which brings me to my next question:
Does printcenter and/or printconsole, support newlines?
Thanks in advance
