description: Hey! How do i make so that people who joins the game after someone has bought a stealth suit for his char/veh still will see them stealthed?

description: If you know, that "Enable_Stealth" command isnt the solid stealth event thats from renegade. Like thats made in the latest scripts and stuff. The current scripts are made by the community so there are several bugs. Like person running original or old scripts wont see the stealth effect and that join ect problem. I guess for a better version of the "Enable_Stealth" you would have to wait until scripts 4.0 since everyone needs that to play the future renegade.

Thanks for the reply Yes I know that people with scripts lower than 2.9 will see them anyway. But let says the person who joins the game have scripts 2.9 or higher. How could i attach the script to him on join? I want to learn this because it could be usefull for other thing too ErroR wrote on Wed, 21 October 2009 13:54 sorry, know nothing about coding/scripting Thanks anyway

description: Reattaching the script when player joins is a hard thing i would ignore that. Here is what i got and hope it works! I havent compiled or tested this so please tell me if somethings word ok? Ok, so what this does is when you type in command !ss it takes your money and attaches you a "Hubba_Stealth" scripts. The script is a timer and what this does is activates a timer that is over in 0.01 and it enables Stealth event in your character and then it starts another timer that is over in 3 seconds. So, why is the first one 0.01(sec) and this one is 3(sec) because when you type in !ss you will have to wait 3 seconds to have a stealth event. So now when you type in !ss you will have it in less than a second. So, then when 3 seconds is over it will give you stealth effect again replace or whatever the original one and start another time. This will loop untill you die. So, when a person joins, your chars stealth will be enabled in every 3 seconds and that new person will see you as a stealth soldier. Good luck! gmmain.CPP (replace the original command with this) class StealthChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass { void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) { GameObject *obj = Get_GameObj(ID); float Credits = Commands->Get_Money(obj); if(Credits >= 1000){ Commands->Give_Money(obj,-1000,false); char message[256]; sprintf(message,"msg %s bought a Stealthsuit", Get_Player_Name_By_ID(ID)); Console_Input(message); //Commands->Enable_Stealth(obj,true); Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"Hubba_Stealth",""); } else { Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You need $1000.",Get_Player_ID(obj)).c_str()); } } }; ChatCommandRegistrant<StealthChatCommand> StealthChatCommandReg("!ss",CHATTYPE_ALL,0,GAMEMODE_AOW); gmmain.CPP - add this also void Hubba_Stealth::Created(GameObject *obj) { Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,0.01,1); } void Hubba_Stealth::Timer_Expired(GameObject *obj,int number) { if (number == 1){ Commands->Enable_Stealth(obj,true); Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,3,1); } } Scr…

description: If you decide to carry on use YazooGang's timer example, then I encourage you to take the actual timer itself down from 0.01f to say 0.5f. It's not really neccessary to have it loop like that every 0.01 seconds... I would however like to encourage you to consider making a global array for the players... bool IsPlayerStealth[128]; // global array On the level_loaded event I would for loop through the array and set all the elements to false (just to make sure they are all false at the start of the map). for (int i = 1; i < 128; i++){ IsPlayerStealth[i] = false; } You would need to set the players to true in this array when they become stealth, and false when they die. I would do something like this: class StealthChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass { void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) { GameObject *obj = Get_GameObj(ID); float Credits = Commands->Get_Money(obj); if(Credits >= 1000){ Commands->Give_Money(obj,-1000,false); char message[256]; sprintf(message,"msg %s bought a Stealthsuit", Get_Player_Name_By_ID(ID)); Console_Input(message); //Commands->Enable_Stealth(obj,true); Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"Hubba_Stealth",""); } else { Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d You need $1000.",ID).c_str()); } } }; ChatCommandRegistrant<StealthChatCommand> StealthChatCommandReg("!ss;!StealthSuit;!SS;!stealthsuit",CHATTYPE_ALL,0,GAMEMODE_AOW); void Hubba_Stealth::Created(GameObject *obj) { Commands->Enable_Stealth(obj,true); IsStealthPlayer[Get_Player_ID(obj)] = true; } void Hubba_Stealth::Killed(GameObject *obj,GameObject *shooter) { IsStealthPlayer[Get_Player_ID(obj)] = false; } ScriptRegistrant<Hubba_Stealth> Hubba_Stealth_Registrant("Hubba_Stealth",""); class Hubba_Stealth : public ScriptImpClass { void Created(GameObject *obj); void Killed(GameObject *obj,GameObject *shooter); }; Then on the player join event, you would do a similar loop to the level_loaded event, and just loop through the array, and if any of them are true, then apply the stealth tot h…

I changed my level_load code to: char message[256]; for (int a = 0; a < 128; a++){ IsPlayerStealth[a] = false; sprintf(message,"msg Set all to false",""); Console_Input(message); The message was just to see if it acctully load that part.

Then I changed join_hook For (int a = 0; a < 128; a++){ if(IsPlayerStealth[a] == false){ Commands->Enable_Stealth(Get_GameObj(a),true); char message[256]; sprintf(message,"msg Set stealth to all true",""); Console_Input(message); } I get the "Set stealth to all true" 128 times in console when some1 joins. But ofcourse you dont get stealth when you join because you change character to "GDI Soldier or Nod Soldier" after the stealth code. But then if another player joins he should see the other guy stealth since "isPlayerStealth" is still false to the first guy. Now i'm really confused this should work...

Because player 2 joins the game but the script goes on before player 2 is inside the game. So now i need a way to make players to be inside the game before the script start... hm. Any1 got any ideas?

You seem to of changed what your final goal is somewhere along the thread, unless I am reading your posts incorrectly? The thing i want is when a player buys a stealth suit using command !ss. And then if another player joins the game AFTER the first player have bought the stealth suit then he should see the first guy stealth. But I have skipped the whole command thing for now. Just to make it as simple as possible. Because i can easily add that in if i get this first thing to work: So this is what i have: Global array bool IsPlayerStealth[128]; // global array Level_load hook sets IsPlayerStealth to false to all players. for (int a = 0; a < 128; a++){ IsPlayerStealth[a] = false; } Then in join_hook if IsPlayerStealth == false (which all players are) then it will add stealth suit to all of them. for (int a = 0; a < 128; a++){ if(IsPlayerStealth[a] == false){ Commands->Enable_Stealth(Get_GameObj(a),true); } } But the problem is as i explained in the example before is that The other player that joins the game after the first player still will see the other player un-stealthed even if he gets a Stealth_suit. + I have also tried to use ObjectHookCall so the script gets called after the player is ingame. But that wont work either.

And i know it should work somehow for example it works on the "wittebolx" server if you have ever played. Well i guess i have to ask witte if he could share the way he do it.

So in ur earlier post you said i had to make something like this: else { Vector3 pos; pos.X = 0.0f; pos.Y = 0.0f; pos.Z = 0.0f; GameObject *invis = Commands->Create_Object("InvisObject", pos); //Attach script to check if gameobject exists } Now i just how to think how to make the script for that. EDIT------------------------------------------------------------- Shit i got already a problem. The script wont attach to the invis object. else { Vector3 pos; pos.X = 0.0f; pos.Y = 0.0f; pos.Z = 0.0f; GameObject *invis = Commands->Create_Object("InvisObject", pos); Attach_Script_Once(invis,"Test_hubba1",""); }

If i put in hubba_test1 the timer to for example 0.5 then it would be way to fast. But 1.0 works for me. But if we got a really slow player then it wouldnt work? Well i could put the timer to like 5.0 like i have in hubba_test then i would get most of the players. Yes i dont really know if i coded anything right in hubba_test1 so if you could take a look it would be nice.
