Public Kill Tracker

Content Development Script Showcase
1

It’s good to share. this is the first npc i made in a long time. all it does is keep track of the top 5 most kills on the server. sloppy coding is my style, but it works. anyone can use this if they feel like it.

if (created) {
  timereverywhere;
  setshape 1,32,32;
  message Kill Rankings;
}

if (playerenters) {setplayerprop #c,showkills; set playerchats; unset playerchats;}

if (playertouchsme) {
  //setplayerprop #c,showkills;
  say2 Here is the top five most kills: #b
  1st #I(server.kName,0) has #I(server.kCount,0) kills #b
  2nd #I(server.kName,1) has #I(server.kCount,1) kills #b
  3rd #I(server.kName,2) has #I(server.kCount,2) kills #b
  4th #I(server.kName,3) has #I(server.kCount,3) kills #b
  5th #I(server.kName,4) has #I(server.kCount,4) kills #b;
}
if (playerchats) {
  if (startswith(kills:,#c)) {
    setplayerprop #c,I tried to cheat, but nope.;
  }
  this.count = 5;
  this.onList = 0;
  sleep .5;
  if (startswith(kills:,#c))
    {
    for (k=0;k<5;k++) {
      if (strequals(#I(server.kName,k),#a)) {
        this.onIndex = k;
        this.onList = 1;
        deletestring server.kCount,this.onIndex;
        deletestring server.kName,this.onIndex;
        this.count--;
      }
    }
    for (i=0;i<this.count;i++) {
      if (strtofloat(#e(7,-1,#c)) > strtofloat(#I(server.kCount,i))) {
        insertstring server.kCount,i,#e(7,-1,#c);
        insertstring server.kName,i,#a;
        if (this.onList == 0) {
          deletestring server.kCount,5;
          deletestring server.kName,5;
        }
        break;

      }
    }
    setplayerprop #c,;
  }
}

What’s the point of setting playerchats and then unsetting it?

3

im still trying to figure out how things work. so i bet there are things in there that arent needed.

4

I put it there because I dont think the playerchats flag gets set if you use the setplayerprop command.

5

i put this in a level and it doesnt keep track at all… x.x

6

Really good point oO…

7

only stores info for 1st place
sorry for necroposting

8

works for me. i think i had to create the server strings.

9

you mean flags?
server.kCount2=7
server.kCount=12
server.kName2=test
server.kName=Clavo

and only clavo appears in ranking

10

No, it’s a couple of lists

server.kName=Name1,Name2,Name3,…
server.kCount=500,400,300,…

11

yeah you have to initialize all the values in the array. i had an npc do this in the level i was using to test. i should have uploaded the level instead of just text.

12

i see, is there a way that the values fill in automatically?

13

well they will update automatically after they have been initialized.

14

D: If Beholder hasn’t said it once, he has said it a million times.

“Learn the differences between variables strings and flags”

15

well its confusing since the editor stores all client. and server. strings under the flag button.

16

Strings store text/numbers, and Variables store just numbers. As far as I know.

Flags are just data stored on your player that are able to be “set” and “un-set”.

17

strings are an array of characters. flags will be true or false, 1 or 0, or, as you said, set or unset.

18

As far as I know, Variables cannot be arrays

setstring string,{array,array};

Beholder is going to come in and say something surely?

19

well duh. variables in their very nature are nothing like arrays.

20

setarray var,7;

var = {1,3,5,2,6,4,2};

var[4]=10;

Take your pick.
