Online player search

Hey there, I'm a good scripter, but I've done next to nothing of online stuff. My question is, how do I go through the players in a level in a for loop? I do for (i=0;i<playerscount;i++) serverside and nothing happens, clientside and only I am affected. How do I access everyone in a level?

In old gscript, it'll be something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
for (i = 0; i < playerscount; i ++)

{

  with (players[i])

  {

    // Now in the focus of the player

    setplayerprop #c,Hello!;

  }

}

Just for reference, in gscript2, the improved for () allows you to cycle straight through the players array, like so:

PHP Code:


		
			
for (pl: players)

{

  // Now, pl will be the player's object, i.e.

  pl.chat = "Hello!";

}

Hmm... so say I wanted to make a weapon that searched through the room and killed everyone in it, it would be done like so?

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( weaponfired ) {

  for ( i = 0; i < playerscount; i++ ) {

    players[i].hearts = 0;

  }

}

Pardon the odd (I'm sure) spacing methods; it seems UnrealScript has rubbed off a bit on me.

No it needs to be done serverside.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (actionserverside) { // receives the triggeraction

  if (strequals(#p(0),params)) { // #p(x) are the params

// the above line was not needed but i just added it in for demo

    for(i=0; i<playerscount; i++) {  // loops through everyone in the room

      with(players[i]) {  // tells the npc which player to perform the actions on

        playerhearts = 0;

      }

    }

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,WEAPONNAME,params;

}

Aha! I was wondering how a server would recieve a weaponfired flag. Thanks!

For future reference, players[i].hearts should work also (meaning you don't need the with() statement)

True.

Hmm... if a script that works suddenly doesn't work, and GS2 was recently installed onto the server, does that mean GS2 screwed it up?

Means it was probably badly scripted or has an error in it.

The new engine's compiler is a lot more picky.
