Do we have a way to read when a weapon is fired, and or the ammo count for that weapon.

I cannot seem to find a way to read a value for either.

I need it to track how many shots are fired to compare to how many kills were made to create a shooting accuracy percentage of the player.

Cheers

EDIT: Also do we have an always active command that goes into the FPE as well?

This has been a request of mine for a long time too perelect. Have some kids games waiting for ammo count so I can do a high score system and/or transfer the count to a new level.

On the last one, no idea. Do you mean "Always Active" on characters presumably?

Thanks !nullptr

I will look for your request and add a comment to it as well.

Yes, "AlwaysActive" on any entity will do.
I am making up a list of all the different FPE commands we have.

I thought it was alwaysactive =1, but that doesn't seem to work for me....

Next Question....

How do you round a number down to, x amount of decimal places?
I'm just converting the shot distances from inches to kilometres.

I'm looking at [href=http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html ]http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html [/href] for a reference.

Ok, I finally found a way to round a number..

Using the string.format command.

TextColor(60,74,3,"TotalDistMtrs: "..(string.format("%.3f",totaldistancekmls)),255,255,255)

So...
..(string.format("%.3f",totaldistancekmls)) will give you the number to 3 decimal places.
where:
totaldistancekmls is a variable for the number. ie 0.2368524254
%.3f is to 3 places. ie 0.236
so %.2f is to 2 places.

agreed on the ammo / mouse press requests... kinda weird they're still missing but i'm sure it'll come when lee gets time

it is alwaysactive =1

i see you already found the rounding, i've always used this from google (same thing but in function form)

Thanks, smallg

I don't know why alwaysactive =1, isn't working for me, but I do modify everything I can .. maybe its time for a reinstall.

I also agree that these would really add to GameGuru. After the performance work, we will be launching a new voting system, so if users want us to work on LUA scripting, we will do that.

We actually already have a list of around 150 requested commands waiting to be added .

Wow that would be great !!!!

My vote is for more scripting commands.
