Round Restart Script?

Garry's Mod coding
#1

Can somone please help me with a Round restart script for a gamemode like Freezetag or tag?

i know KingOfBeast made this a while back :


round = {}

-- Variables
round.Break	= 30	-- 30 second breaks
round.Time	= 300	-- 5 minute rounds

-- Read Variables
round.TimeLeft = -1
round.Breaking = false

function round.Broadcast(Text)
	for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		v:ConCommand("play buttons/button17.wav")
		v:ChatPrint(Text)
	end
end

function round.Begin()
	-- Your code
	-- (Anything that may need to happen when the round begins)
	
	round.Broadcast("Round starting! Round ends in " .. round.Time .. " seconds!")
	round.TimeLeft = round.Time
end

function round.End()
	-- Your code
	-- (Anything that may need to happen when the round ends)
	
	round.Broadcast("Round over! Next round in " .. round.Break .. " seconds!")
	round.TimeLeft = round.Break
end

function round.Handle()
	if (round.TimeLeft == -1) then -- Start the first round
		round.Begin()
		return
	end
	
	round.TimeLeft = round.TimeLeft - 1
	
	if (round.TimeLeft == 0) then
		if (round.Breaking) then
			round.Begin()
			round.Breaking = false
		else
			round.End()
			round.Breaking = true
		end
	end
end
timer.Create("round.Handle", 1, 0, round.Handle)

but i don’t know the function to restart round itself, the code is just a round timer, but i need a function to restart.

thanks in advance

Call the round begin function inside the round end function

#3

the thing is there is no function to call, i need to add my own code .

#4

Huh?



function round.Begin()
	-- Your code
	-- (Anything that may need to happen when the round begins)
	
	round.Broadcast("Round starting! Round ends in " .. round.Time .. " seconds!")
	round.TimeLeft = round.Time
end

function round.End()
	-- Your code
	-- (Anything that may need to happen when the round ends)
	
	round.Broadcast("Round over! Next round in " .. round.Break .. " seconds!")
	round.TimeLeft = round.Break
end

it clearly says --Your code And as i said I do not have any code

#6

Well, that’s up to you to write what happens on round start and round end - this script is just a set up/skeleton to give you an idea of the format.

To answer your question though, this would cause a restart on round end:



function round.End()
	round.Broadcast("Round over! Next round in " .. round.Break .. " seconds!")
	round.TimeLeft = round.Break

round.Begin()

end
#7

i’ve tried it, it didnt work, also considering theres no function in that code that can cause a restart

#8

It already does restart…
It restarts after a 30 seconds break, you don’t need to modify the code to make it restart as that has already been done.



if (round.Breaking) then
			round.Begin()
			round.Breaking = false
		else

See right here, that’s where it is restarting.

#9

Your attitude towards someone helping you is irritating me

#10

Yeah, OP, what do you think this script is actually doing and what do you want it to do?

#11

The script actually does restart the round after it ends, no idea what OP wants to do?

#12

why doesnt it restart though, as far as i can see its just calling other functions in the same code Round.Begin() does nothing else than restart the timer.

chill bro, no need to be mad

#13

IT DOES RESTART! Have you even, lets say, tried to run the code? It may seem a radical idea but it might just prove my point?

#14

i think i have been explaining it wrong, im very sorry, what im looking for is for the round to reset.

#15

[lua]
function tagendround()
round.TimeLeft = 1
end
[/lua]
add to end of file

you can call this function to make the round end within 1 second (dont set to 0 or it looks like it will “start first round” bc it -1 from time left AND THEN checks if it == 0 instead of <= 0
to call it put tagendround() where you want the round to end (and then bc it ended it will restart)
