Run a console command run if there is + 4 players and another if there is under 4 players.

[Crap-Head]

How would i make a console command run if there is over 4 players and another if there is under 4 players?

Like when there are 4 players in the server it runs Manhack_Start
And when someone leaves and there is under 4 players it runs Manhack_Stop.

Thank you.

What is your definition of "run"? Is it a entity that we'll fire a input on? Or is it a global variable we'll turn on and off?

Something like this, perhaps?

[lua]local bManhack = false;
hook.Add("PlayerConnect","ManhackStart",function()
if #player.GetAll() >= 4 and not bManhack then game.ConsoleCommand("Manhack_Start"); bManhack = true; end
end)

hook.Add("PlayerDisconnect","ManhackEnd",function()
if #player.GetAll() < 4 and bManhack then game.ConsoleCommand("Manhack_End"); bManhack = false; end
end)[/lua]

[Wizey!]

Entoros is correct.

#player.GetAll()

hook.Add("PlayerDisconnect","ManhackEnd",function()

end)[/lua][/QUOTE]

Thank you. But i still got a problem :/
Well in the first place it didten work. I changed game.ConsoleCommand to RunConsoleCommand which then worked but only on more then 4 players.
When i then kick the players and it goes under 4 it still keeps spawning the manhacks.

Off-Topic: Wizey i sended you a PM would you mind looking at it? ;)

Fixed added "\n" in game.ConsoleCommand.
[QUOTE]
The command needs to be ended with a \n to be run, as shown in the examples.

Agein it worked in the begining but when it shuld run Manhack_Stop nothing happend and it keep'd spawning manhacks.

Show your code would help.

if #player.GetAll() < 4 and bManhack then game.ConsoleCommand("Manhack_Stop\n"); bManhack = false; end
end)[/lua]

It works when there is +4 players but when there is -4 players it keep spawning manhacks.

I mean the coding for ManhackStart and ManhackStop.

[QUOTE=Cubar;24261516]I mean the coding for ManhackStart and ManhackStop.[/QUOTE]

Heres the code for the Man Hack spawner:
[lua]
SpawnPos = { -- Tables for spawn pos's
Vector( -90, 298, -84 ), -- Pos
Vector( 222, 222, 222 ), -- Another pos
Vector( 333, 333, 333 ) -- Third pos Make other if needed.
}

function SpawnThem()

Interval = 5 -- Amount of time between manhack spawn.
Limit = 0 -- 0 is infinite.

timer.Create( "Manhack_Timer", Interval, Limit, function() -- Create a timer.
local hack = ents.Create( "npc_manhack" ) -- Its the manhack!
hack:Spawn()
hack:SetPos(table.Random(SpawnPos)) -- Set the positions of them using the table from before
end )

end

function StopThem()

timer.Destroy( "Manhack_Timer" ) -- If you think there are enough players on the server stop the manhacks from being spawned.

end

concommand.Add("Manhack_Start", SpawnThem) -- Typing "Manhack_Start" in console will start the timer
concommand.Add("Manhack_Stop", StopThem) -- Typing "Manhack_Stop" in console will stop the timer
[/lua]

Hmm. Do something for me, because I'm not entirely sure where PlayerDisconnect gets called in the timeline of things.

In the PlayerDisconnect hook, just at the top of the function, put

print("PlayerDisconnect counts " .. #player.GetAll() .. " players.")

and tell me what that prints when someone disconnects. Then tell me how many people were in the server after that player disconnected.

Nothing :/ It prints nothing.
I joined the server. Added 4 bots and kicked 1 after 1 but nothing happend.

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnect","ManhackStop",function()
print("PlayerDisconnect counts " .. #player.GetAll() .. " players.")
if #player.GetAll() < 4 and bManhack then game.ConsoleCommand("Manhack_Stop\n"); bManhack = false; end
end)
[/lua]
Thats how the PlayerDisconnect hook looks.

[_nonSENSE]

hook it to [B][URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.PlayerDisconnected"]Gamemode.PlayerDisconnected [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG][/URL][/B], Player.Disconnect does not exist.

[_nonSENSE]

Either way, Player.Disconnect would not have worked.

I mean PlayerDisconnect, sorry.

[_Kilburn]

Use [b][url=wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.EntityRemoved]Gamemode.EntityRemoved [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b].

It is called every time an entity is removed. If the entity is a player, that means that a player has just disconnected, it's as easy as that. :science:

hook.Add("EntityRemoved","ManhackStop",function(ent)
if ent:IsPlayer() and #player.GetAll() < 4 and bManhack then RunConsoleCommand("Manhack_Stop"); bManhack = false; end

Why do you need console commands anyway? Just call SpawnThem() and StopThem() whenever you want to start or stop spawning manhacks.
