A kill counter?

[Sphinxa279]

So basically, is it possible to make a counter which can be displayed in-game, then everytime you kill an NPC it would add "1" to this counter, then start a new round when the counter reaches a desired number, also, how can I make rounds? Help appreciated

[Bagasen]

More information, should it be for more players, or only for one?

[Sphinxa279]

For players, you would have a team of say 4 people, then I need it so all their kills accumalate onto the counter.

Then like I said, when the counter reaches desired amount a new round would start.

[Bagasen]

Okay, that made it too difficult for me :s

Sorry, can't help ya D:

[Sphinxa279]

no worries, hope someone can though.

[Cubar]

[lua]
if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("yourfile.lua")
function KillCounter( victim, killer, weapon )
if killer:GetNWInt("killcounter") >= 10 then
PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Person won " .. killer:GetName())
timer.Simple(3, function()
game.ConsoleCommand("changelevel gm_flatgrass\n")
end)
end
killer:SetNWInt("killcounter", killer:GetNWInt("killcounter") + 1)
end
hook.Add("OnNPCKilled","KillCounter", KillCounter)
else
function killcounter()
draw.WordBox( 8, ScrW() - 920, ScrH() - 98, "KillCount: "..LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("killcounter"),"ScoreboardText",Color(200,0,0,0),Color(255,255,255,255))
end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","KillCounter",killcounter)
end[/lua]

Place in lua/autorun/yourfile.lua

[Sphinxa279]

Possible to incorporate that into my init.lua?

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;22660840]Possible to incorporate that into my init.lua?[/QUOTE]

Yes

Server: Init.lua
[lua]
function KillCounter( victim, killer, weapon )
if killer:GetNWInt("killcounter") >= 10 then
PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Person won " .. killer:GetName())
timer.Simple(3, function()
game.ConsoleCommand("changelevel gm_flatgrass\n")
end)
end
killer:SetNWInt("killcounter", killer:GetNWInt("killcounter") + 1)
end
hook.Add("OnNPCKilled","KillCounter", KillCounter)
[/lua]
Client: cl_Init.lua
[lua]
function killcounter()
draw.WordBox( 8, ScrW() - 920, ScrH() - 98, "KillCount: "..LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("killcounter"),"ScoreboardText",Color(200,0,0,0),Color(255,255,255,255))
end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","KillCounter",killcounter)
[/lua]

Oh I see, what came after the else in the original function was client side and everything before was server side, thankyou, you just gave me a quick lesson, Informative for you. :smile:

Mhmm, is it possible to detect what map you are playing on and run a function based on the map name?

Actually that else did nothing in the code, it would just have produced an error.

This also is an individual killcount.

Yes it is, it would look something like this.
[lua]
local map = [string.lower(game.GetMap())]
if map == "rp_downtown_v2" then game.ConsoleCommand("say hi\n")
end
[/lua]

[Sphinxa279]

Oh excellent, how would it be possible to incorporate that with Cubar's script he gave me, the same way Gmod.com has done the "I hate RP" Script?

[editline]06:59PM[/editline]

Because what I really want it to do, is once a player has gotten a certain amount of kills, it will go to another map DEPENDING on what map the gamemode is currently on.

I was using if SERVER then if you saw, was for autorun, and it still worked. :wink:

[Crazy Quebec]

Ah right, right. I misread that.

[Sphinxa279]

Cubar, for your changemap function, is it possible to use the lua wildcard so I can get a random map, for example: "zc_*"

[Crazy Quebec]

[lua]local maps = {"zc_blah","zc_bleh","zc_blargh"}
game.ConsoleCommand("changelevel "..table.Random(maps).."\n")[/lua]

[Sphinxa279]

Excellent, thanks Quebec.

[editline]09:33PM[/editline]

Excellent, one more question if you can answer so kindly, how would I make entites, such as item_ammo_357 spawn at a location in a hammer map, the thing is I want the items to spawn randomly across the map, possible with lua or easier to do in Hammer?

Initpostentity and ents.Create("yourname") + SetPos + Spawning it :wink:

[lua]

local randompos = {
Vector(1694.0104, 458.9413, -0.9688),
Vector(1860.0646, 266.5132, -0.9687)
}

function InitSpawn()
local itemammo = ents.Create("item_ammo_357")
itemammo:SetPos(randompos[math.random(2)])
itemammo:Spawn()
end
hook.Add("InitPostEntity","spawnstuff",InitSpawn)[/lua]

[Sphinxa279]

[LUA]itemammo:SetPos(randompos[math.random(2)])[/LUA]

Instead of setting a position using math is it possible to set to a custom hammer entity to spawn at?

Then instead of using the item_ammo_357 I could put several ammo items into a table, and use the table after ents.Create, sorry if this didn't make sense, I'm tired :v:

[Sphinxa279]

Sorry if this bumps the thread but I'm awake now so I can explain a little better, I really want it so it does the function you have there, but having a table full of item entities such as:

[LUA]local ammo = {
("item_ammo_357"),
("another_ammo")
}[/LUA]

is that the right way to make a table full of entites, I also want these entities, instead of spawning at a random position to spawn at a hammer entity e.g "zc_ammo_spawn", so could I put that there instead of the whole randompos(math.random(2)) thing?

[Loures]

That table code is wrong, this one's correct
[lua]
local ammo = {
"item_ammo_357",
"anothera ammo",
"and another one"
}
[/lua]

For your other question:

[lua]
function InitAmmoSpawn()
local itemammo = ents.Create(table.Random(ammo))
itemammo:SetPos(ents.FindByClass("zc_ammo_spawn"):GetPos())
itemammo:Spawn()
end

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "AmmoSpawn", InitAmmoSpawn)
[/lua]

Untested, but it should work

[Sphinxa279]

Excellent, thanks Loures, as you see I'm very new to Lua but at least I know the correct way to make a table, I'll try these as soon as I'm back on my main PC, Thanks![U][URL="http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=199317"][/URL][/U]

That code won't work. Try this:
[lua]
function InitAmmoSpawn()
local itemammo = ents.Create(table.Random(ammo))
local spawn = table.Random(ents.FindByClass("zc_ammo_spawn"))
itemammo:SetPos(spawn:GetPos())
itemammo:Spawn()
end

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "AmmoSpawn", InitAmmoSpawn)
[/lua]
Otherwise, it would have tried to call GetPos() on the table.

[Loures]

Oh snap, forgot about the FindBy functions returning tables, thanks for fixing GranPC :D

[Sphinxa279]

Got these:

[LUA]
Attempted to create unknown entity type zc_ammo_spawn!
Can't init zc_ammo_spawn
Attempted to create unknown entity type item_ammo_!
ERROR: Hook 'AmmoSpawn' Failed: lua\includes\extensions\table.lua:177: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty)
Removing Hook 'AmmoSpawn'
[/LUA]

The above code is in my init.lua, wrong place?

[editline]10:18PM[/editline]

These are in the init.lua

[LUA]local ammo = {
"item_ammo_",
"item_ammo_pistol",
"item_ammo_smg1",
"item_healthkit"
}

function InitAmmoSpawn()
local itemammo = ents.Create(table.Random(ammo))
local spawn = table.Random(ents.FindByClass("zc_ammo_spawn"))
itemammo:SetPos(spawn:GetPos())
itemammo:Spawn()
end

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "AmmoSpawn", InitAmmoSpawn) [/LUA]

[Cubar]

Attempted to create unknown entity type zc_ammo_spawn!

No entity with that name named in entities/entities/

[Sphinxa279]

Will it not find that entity in my hammer map to spawn at?

[Cubar]

No, it has to be spawned in either lua entities or created in hammer as an entity.

I think there are already made entity's in gmod that you can spawn, or find on gmod.org!

[Sphinxa279]

It is created in hammer as an entity, I made a custom .fgd file

[commander204]

you have to create a lua version of the entity: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity_Hooks#Point[/url] This will be the one you want.
