Isn't the idea of the forum to ask questions and deliver information you have...?


I don't know is it possible to create a checkpoint using mIRC. I think some kind of checkpoint system (or possibility to make races) is coming in 0.4, but i don't think that it is already in 0.3z (devs could know more...?)

In the race at checkpoint, the server should automatically check players location, which is a problem. There could be a way to create a finish, but then players should write a command to indicate they have finished (e.g. !finish). If you're using Tommis' GUS, first you have to save the finish area to vcmp.data.ini (e.g. COORDINATES=Finish ). Then you add the !finish command to the script. It could be something like this:

Code Select Expand

elseif (!finish iswm $2) {
    if ($vcmp.area(%a) != Finish) vcmp.say You are not in the finish area!
    else vcmp.say $vcmp.name(%a) has finished the race!
}

This is my idea for the race finish, the only problem is that the script don't check players location automatically, player has to indicate that him/herself by typing the finish command. You could do checkpoints similar way, but it adds work while racing, so it is not a good idea. Maybe someone else has better ideas.

There is another way using a pickup, id 382 can only be picked up in vehicles.
So a simple check like this would enable a check point system

Code Select Expand


; $1 playerid
; $2 pickupid
; $3 picktype
on *:SIGNAL:vcmp.pickup:{
if ($3 == 382) {
   ; player has got check point
   ; now respawn for next person
   vcmp.command spawn spawnpickup $2
   ; set position at checkpoint
   %pos = $calc(%pos + 1)
   vcmp.command adminsay bah is in %pos position
}
}

hmm, but is the vcmp.pickup event defined? it would work, when player gets to pickup they win, but.. i dunno. it prolly will work, coz i saw the money icon pickup somewhere, and if i picked it up, it showed my cash, so it prolly works.

if were talking bout pickups, is there a list with ALL pickups (ie.: money icon, adreanaline etc.. not just weps.)??
