Rounds

Garry's Mod coding
#1

How would I make game rounds? Every 10 minutes, everyone dies, then a 10 second intermission, then it restarts again.

#2

Here it is a round system I was working on a couple of months ago, it is not complete but it gives you a rough idea of a round system
[lua]
if CLIENT then

local function TimerStatus()
timetowrite = “Round Finished”
end

usermessage.Hook(“TimerStatus”, TimerStatus)

function ReceiveTime( um )
roundtime = um:ReadShort()
timetowrite = "Time: " … string.ToMinutesSeconds(tostring(roundtime))
end

usermessage.Hook(“SendTime”, ReceiveTime)

function DrawTime()
draw.SimpleText(timetowrite, “HUDNumber5”, ScrW() / 2, 20, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end

hook.Add(“HUDPaint”, “DrawTime”, DrawTime)

end

if SERVER then

roundtime = 600

function RoundTime()
roundtime = roundtime - 1
umsg.Start(“SendTime”)
umsg.Short(roundtime)
umsg.End()
if roundtime == 0 then
umsg.Start(“TimerStatus”)
umsg.End()
end

if roundtime == 0 then
    for _, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
        ply:StripWeapons()
		ply:StripAmmo()
    end
end

end

timer.Create(“RoundTimer”, 1, 60, RoundTime)

end
[/lua]

If you don’t specify a second argument in umsg.Start, it just sends the usermessage to all players. There’s no need for a RecipientFilter in this case.

#4

Fixed, thanks!

#5

Thanks Loures, you answered my next question too! Which was how to add it to the HUD.

I can’t figure out how to add intermission time, can someone help?

#6

What do you mean with intermission time, the time between a round finishing and another one starting?

#7

Yup. Like, after the round ends, there’s a 10 second timer, then a new round starts again.

#8

There you go
[lua]
if CLIENT then

local function TimerStatus()
timetowrite = “Starting new round”
end

usermessage.Hook(“TimerStatus”, TimerStatus)

function ReceiveTime( um )
roundtime = um:ReadShort()
timetowrite = "Time: " … string.ToMinutesSeconds(tostring(roundtime))
end

usermessage.Hook(“SendTime”, ReceiveTime)

function DrawTime()
draw.SimpleText(timetowrite, “HUDNumber5”, ScrW() / 2, 20, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end

hook.Add(“HUDPaint”, “DrawTime”, DrawTime)

end

if SERVER then

roundtime = 600
intermissiontime = 10

function IntermissionTime()
if intermissiontime == 0 then
roundtime = 600
timer.Start(“RoundTimer”)
timer.Stop(“IntermissionTime”)
end
–Do other stuff here (this function gets run each seconds of the intermission time)

function RoundTime()
roundtime = roundtime - 1
umsg.Start(“SendTime”)
umsg.Short(roundtime)
umsg.End()
if roundtime == 0 then
umsg.Start(“TimerStatus”)
umsg.End()
end

if roundtime == 0 then
    for _, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
        ply:StripWeapons()
		ply:StripAmmo()
    end
if not timer.IsTimer("IntermissionTime") then 
	timer.Create("IntermissionTime", 1, intermissiontime, IntermissionTime) 
	else timer.Start("IntermissionTime") 
end
timer.Stop("RoundTimer")
end

end

timer.Create(“RoundTimer”, 1, roundtime, RoundTime)

end
[/lua]

100th post! :cheers:

Doesn’t work… You forgot an end, which I added. But now the round doesn’t even end.

#10

Ohh fuck it… I’ll go for a fix tomorrow, or you can try to fix it by yourself (trying to code at midnight gives such results)

#11

Ok, thanks. I have been looking at it for a while, and cannot find a fix it.

#12

Can anyone fix this?

#13

Fixed
[lua]
if CLIENT then

local function TimerStatus()
timetowrite = “Round Finished”

usermessage.Hook(“TimerStatus”, TimerStatus)

function ReceiveTime( um )
roundtime = um:ReadShort()
timetowrite = "Time: " … string.ToMinutesSeconds(tostring(roundtime))
end

usermessage.Hook(“SendTime”, ReceiveTime)

function DrawTime()
draw.SimpleText(timetowrite, “HUDNumber5”, ScrW() / 2, 20, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end

hook.Add(“HUDPaint”, “DrawTime”, DrawTime)

end

if SERVER then

roundtime = 600

local function SetupNewRound()
timer.Simple(10, function()
roundtime = 600
timer.Start(“RoundTimer”)
end)
end

function RoundTime()
roundtime = roundtime - 1
umsg.Start(“SendTime”)
umsg.Short(roundtime)
umsg.End()
if roundtime == 0 then
umsg.Start(“TimerStatus”)
umsg.End()
for _, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:StripAmmo()
end
SetupNewRound()
end

end

timer.Create(“RoundTimer”, 1, roundtime, RoundTime)

end

Thank you, it works now.
