How do detect multiple kills

[gmanc2]

Im trying to make a script where if a player gets # kills a sound plays it seems to be fairly simple but I just don't know how to detect multi kills

if SERVER then 
	ply:Kill() then 
	sound.Play( "sound.wav", vPos )

[Humility]

Add 1 to a player's kills with the PlayerDeath hook and reset on respawn.

sooo

if SERVER then 
	ply:Kill(1) then 
	sound.Play( "sound.wav", vPos )
end

and I dont need to have it reset I will shorten the sound file...

[LUA]hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "PlayKillSound", function( ply, inflictor, attacker ) // Create a hook that is called when a player dies
local killsNeeded = 5 // The amount of kills needed for the sound to play
local soundPath = "path/to/sound.wav" // The path to the sound effect you want to play, relative to the sounds folder
if attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:Frags() == killsNeeded then // Check that the killer is a player and has the amount of kills needed
attacker:EmitSound( soundPath ) // If so, make the player emit the sound. There are other ways of doing this, but this is simple and good enough.
end
end)[/LUA]

This must be in a serverside file in order for the hook to be called correctly.

For future reference, check out the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page]Official Wiki[/url] and the [url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index4875.html]Old Wiki[/url] to see what functions and hooks are available.

Thanks you finally someone that gives actual help and Ive been looking for awhile for that wiki thanks!

Not working I changed the path and kills but its not working...

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "PlayKillSound", function( ply, inflictor, attacker ) // Create a hook that is called when a player dies
	local killsNeeded = 2 // The amount of kills needed for the sound to play
	local soundPath = "ohkillem.mp3" // The path to the sound effect you want to play, relative to the sounds folder
	if attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:Frags() == killsNeeded then // Check that the killer is a player and has the amount of kills needed
		attacker:EmitSound( soundPath ) // If so, make the player emit the sound. There are other ways of doing this, but this is simple and good enough.
	end
end)

A better way would probably be to reset the kills ( in a row ) variable for the victim, and increment them for the attacker. That way, you could set up a system based on the number of kills they have.

It's done the same way in the PlayerDeath hook, but you just attach the vars by:

[lua]ply._KillsInARow = 0;
attacker._KillsInARow = ( !attacker._KillsInARow ) and 1 or attacker._KillsInARow + 1;[/lua]

So, reset the victim to 0.

For incrementing, all it's saying is assign the variable _KillsInARow to attacker, but first check to see if the variable is not assigned, if it isn't then set it to 1, or set it to the variable + 1.

Then, after that, you can do your logic ( It could be done differently, and more dynamically but for the purpose of this example... ).

[lua]if ( attacker._KillsInARow == 3 ) then
// Play sound for 3 kills.
elseif ( attacker._KillsInARow == 5 ) then
// Play sound for 5 kills.
elseif ( attacker._KillsInARow == 10 ) then
// Play sound for 10 kills.
elseif ( attacker._KillsInARow == 15 ) then
// Play sound for 15 kills.
elseif ( attacker._KillsInARow == 20 ) then
// Play sound for 20 kills.
elseif ( attacker._KillsInARow == 30 ) then
// Play sound for 30 kills.
end[/lua]

As commented, the path is relative to the sounds folder. Take out the garrysmod/sound/ part.

Ok I did take out the gmod/sound but its still not working no errors though.
