Counting deaths

**[cB]SplatterGuts** · March 24th, 2015, 04:09 PM

I'm looking for a way to count the times a player has died - I want the player to be unable to respawn after they've died three times until the next round starts. Any ideas?

check mixed gametypes mod , it has all ur needs , but to deaths is some how complex . You can use the event system :3

kill local.attacker local.damage local.inflictor local.position local.direction local.normal local.knockback local.damageflags local.meansofdeath local.location local.player:
if(!local.player.deaths)
local.player.deaths = 0
local.player.deaths++
if(local.player.deaths >= 3)
{
//code here (check mefy's mixed gametypes mod )
}
end

What gametype are you working with?

If it is a gametype which counts them already(tdm,ffa) etc when they are up on scoretab, you can get them with the command getdeaths

local.player_deaths = local.player getdeaths

Other then that, what ry posted above should be good

I'm using FFA, so it would look something like this?

while(1){
local.player_deaths = local.player getdeaths
if (local.player_deaths >= 3){
//whatever script I need to not let them respawn
}
}

nah , there is a smarter way , use the script I wrote but instead of creating ur own variables use the get deaths cmd
no need to use loops .
it's more stable that way

I would avoid while-loops (infinite ones), use events (killed or respawn), and I'm not sure if you can prevent someone from spawning on FFA (or at all), but you could freeze that person and make it invulnerable.

Or just use the spawn event

spawn local.player:

if((local.player getdeaths) >= 3)
{
local.player takeall // Takes weapons
local.player nodamage /// no damage so they cant die again and mess up others scores
}

end

Or of course you could freeze/hide/move players out of way/noclip etc
Or just move to spectate but that would cause conflicts when new map, have to move players back/ or move them to a ft type spectate ie floating behind players.

I'll try with the spawn event and see about pulling apart the FT spectate mode so that players can respawn on a new round. Thanks!
