Function doesn't get loaded at all...

Aman/Pinguin · Post by **Aman/Pinguin** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:05 pm

Okay short story, I made 3 functions which do nearly the same and use the same method, my problem is that the second and third function don't get used at all. I tested it by putting print commands in...they don't get printed.
I have no idea why, and hope somebody knows a solution.
I made the working part in big letters.

Hidden/Spoiler:

OnCharacterSpawn( 

	function(character)

			if uf_processPlayers then

		--a function to kill Roan, the function takes a single table 'players' as an argument/parameter

				local KillRoan = function( players )

					--can't do anything if the player data table is missing

					if not players then return end

					--for each player ingame,

					local i

					for i=1,table.getn(players) do

						--search for the player

						if 	(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Silverstar™=GER=") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Roan=GER=") or

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Roan") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Roan™") or

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=RoanShryne=GER=") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Roan™=GER=") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=RoanShryne™=GER=") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Silverstar=GER=") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Silverstar") or 

							(players.namestr == "=][Legend][=Silverstar™") then

											--get Roan's unit

											local unit = GetCharacterUnit(players[i].indexstr)

											if not unit then return end	--Roan is already dead, so there is nothing more for us to do

											--kill Roan's Unit

											KillObject( unit )

						return end

					end

				end

-- THE FUNCTIONS BELOW DONT GET LOADED AT ALL! the first print there ("user_script_1: Entered Gaman function") doesn't get printed when I spawn!

				local Gaman = function( players )

					print("user_script_1: Entered Gaman function")

					--can't do anything if the player data table is missing

					if not players then return end

					--for each player ingame,

					local i

					for i=1,table.getn(players) do

					print("user_script_1: 'for i=1,table.getn(players) do' has been reached")

						--search for the player

						if (players[i].namestr == "=ro[D]Pinguin/Gaman") then

						print("user_script_1: Player is Pinguin")

												if __thisMapsMode__ == "tat3_con" and JustSpawned == 0 then

											uf_processPlayers( Smuff )

											uf_processPlayers( Gaman )

											uf_processPlayers( KillRoan )

			else

				--of course, the player won't see this debug message, but it doesn't hurt to have it...

				print("WARNING: Cannot Kill Roan / Spawn Player As Gammo: The uf_processPlayers function is missing.  Please update your game to the latest UnOfficial v1.3 patch")

			end 

	end

It's pretty hard to read it here in the forum, so here is a download for it in a file: http://files.filefront.com/half+working ... einfo.html

EDIT: Not sure if I explained it how everyone can understand it...it's late here and I'm tired.
If there are any questions fell free to ask I will answer them tomorrow...

I haven't gone over all your code to make sure it works, but you can only do one fc_processPlayers() at a time. That function stores a copy of the function you give it into a global variable. Then it jumps into player list screen and jumps back out. The v1.3 patch changed the player list screen. When you enter that screen, it checks to see if there is a function in the global variable. If there is, it calls the function with the player list then leaves the screen.

Since each call to fc_processPlayers() stores the function in the same variable, only the last one is really there when the exe gets around to displaying the player list screen (the Lua doesn't direcly change the screens, it asks the exe to do it. This asking finishes and the lua code keeps processing before the exe gets around to changing the screen).

Okay, (I think) I understand.

But is there any way I could still do that stuff I tried?

You could put it all into one function instead of three. Or you can do one function, then have that function call the next one, then call the next one.

Also, I would recommend not checking all the names everytime someone spawned. I don't know how much effort the game requires to generate the player list.

Yeah, these custom user_scripts on dedicated servers are fun. Someone should make one that forces you to play as locals on all the maps...

Anyway, this topic was solved through XFire, so its done.
