Ive started in a ranking system for H.E.Trooper which is ok for the first rank, but i need to remove the text showing the first rank after so many kills to display the next? ideas anyone please this is what i have so far. thanks

+ Code Snippet

g_kills = 0

function heranks_init(e)
end

function heranks_main(e)
TextCenterOnXColor(50,91.5,3,"Rank",10,255,10)
 if  g_kills >= 10 then
 	TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Lance Corporal",10,255,10)
	end
	-- need to destroy the lance corporal rank here ready to display the next rank :)
 if  g_kills >= 20 then
 	TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Corporal",10,255,10)
	end

Do it in reverse and with else if is probably the easiest

g_kills = 0

function heranks_init(e)
end

function heranks_main(e)
TextCenterOnXColor(50,91.5,3,"Rank",10,255,10)
if g_kills >= 20 then
TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Corporal",10,255,10)
elseif g_kills >= 10 then
TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Lance Corporal",10,255,10)
end

end

Right ok thanks G will give that a go

EDIT: Sweet thanks m8 works now, now for the other 20 odd ranks lol

I would never have thought to do it in reverse order but there ya go, I presume this is why I haven't got the hang of timers? they count in reverse?

Honkeyboy when you go to next level the variable they are not saved and reset, I'll just say to avoid that we lose time ..

Oh yes of course, but couldn't I write those into the level save files I have e.g
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone'] == 1 then
local file = io.open("temp.dat", "w")

file:write(g_rank .. "\n" ..)

writing them to a temporary file
and call it with

if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone'] == 1 then
local file = io.open("temp.dat", "r")

g_rank = file:read("*n", "*l")
obviously setting all the ranks as globals

I'm actually getting pretty ok with scripting save and loading now

Ok got all the ranks working here 1 shot per rank at the mo for testing its abit ugly = all the ends at the end of the script, but its working nicely thanks G for pointing out I had it the wrong way round

if anyone is doing wargames it may be of use to you the ranking structure is that of the Cavalry as
1/ Trooper is the first rank and
2/ I was a Lancer in the 80's so its familiar to me lol
anyways you can always change the "" values to a rank you like will let anyone who needs it the code for the save and load when I have it written

oh and don't forget to add g_kills = g_kills +1 to your AI script exit and the numbers to how many kills they need to get the next rank

That needs to be reported as a bug, because as far as a I remember g_ variables were coded to carry over tot he next level some time agio.

Aye not tested it over levels yet Belidos m8 so it might work yet, but I have had to write some things in "Galaxy" that didn't save over into a separate temporary file so maybe it isn't working properly atm, didn't think about it tbh just wrote it into the winzone/memoryzone

sorry, i meant reverse to how you were checking, it doesnt need to be reversed in the list, it's just a case of swapping the < / > sign if you want to go up, i just used the > as i was typing on phone so copied your code

so this would also work fine

+ Code Snippet

g_kills = 0
 
function heranks_init(e)
end
 
function heranks_main(e)
TextCenterOnXColor(50,91.5,3,"Rank",10,255,10)
 if  g_kills <= 10 then
    TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Lance Corporal",10,255,10)
 elseif  g_kills <= 20 then
    TextCenterOnXColor(50,98,3,"Corporal",10,255,10)
    end
 
end

i see you're getting good at reading from files

storing g_ variables doesn't (and never has) work(ed) between levels - only if you load a save, but you can quite easily autosave at level end (there's a script for that in my thread) and then read the values in the new level as honkeyboy correctly said.

timers are simple enough.
1. just store the first value once (this is best done in the main(e) part just so you know it will start counting at around the right time).
i.e.

+ Code Snippet

if time1 == nil then 
time1 = g_Time
end

2. now compare g_Time again with the stored value + any time delay you want to wait
i.e.

+ Code Snippet

if g_Time > time1+2000 then --2000 = 2secs

3. if you need to reuse the timer you can just reset the time1 here so the final code looks something like this
(this would add a free kill every 2 secs)

+ Code Snippet

function free_kill_main(e)
if time1 == nil then 
time1 = g_Time
end 
if g_Time > time1+2000 then --2000 = 2secs
time1 = g_Time
g_kills = g_kills+1
end
end

Yeah, I remember you doing that, but I could have sworn a little while after you did that Lee changed the g_ to save, I'm probably misunderstanding something he posted though knowing me, lua confuses me no end.

Edit: I've just tried using your autosave script on my two test levels, it doesn't carry over the g_ variables, is there something else I need to do?

Hi Honkeyboy, looking good.

As you know I have been working on a score system too. You could also use timers to increase scoring and the ranking system.

Example would be; so many kills in a small amount of time. Also so many kills before you die will also increase their rank.
It will just adds a little more spice to your levels / games and encourage players to go all out to hit the high scores each time they play. Also steam rewards trading cards, etc.

Headshots, Multi-kills and Killing Sprees, etc.

Just an idea.

Yeah gd totally agree with that m8 was just getting the first bits working, going to try tables next to save all the individual filesaves, then hopefully better it, i no scripter really but im slowly getting there.
EDIT:
ok ive re written the main rank script into tables but im finding that now the ranks go up to lance corporal and no futher? any ideas why guys plz?

g_kills = 0
g_rank = 0
g_rank = {}
g_rank[1] = "Lance Corporal"
g_rank[2] = "Corporal"
g_rank[3] = "Sergent"
g_rank[4] = "Staff Sergent"
g_rank[5] = "Company Sgt Major"
g_rank[6] = "Regimental Sgt Major"
g_rank[7] = "Second Leiutenant"
g_rank[8] = "Leiutenant"
g_rank[9] = "Captain"
g_rank[10] = "Major"
g_rank[11] = "Lieutenant Colonel"
g_rank[12] = "Colonel"
g_rank[13] = "Brigadier"

Just a little tip.

I see you're trying to use the British army rank struture there. In British army ranks, CSM and RSM aren't linear ranks. They're kind of side ranks, or senior versions of the Warrant Officer 1st class ranks, there will only be one CSM per company and one RSM per regiment.

Also staff sergeant is a support regiment specific rank, generally the rank is actually Colour Sergeant, it's only Staff Sergeant in the logisitcs, artillery, R.E.M.E and so on

So if you're working off of a more general army basis it would probably be best to have the following base structure for non commissioned ranks:

Lance Corporal (lance jack)
Corporal (Cpl)
Sergeant (Sgt)
Colour Sergeant (Colour)
Warrant Office 2nd Class (WO1)
Warrant Officer 1st Class (WO2)

(although it is nice to see someone use Staff Sergeant, that was my rank in the 4th herts and beds RA)

Same with the 17/21st m8 which i was in, yeah do know about the abbs for the ranks and WO1/2 etc just familiar with CSM and RSM as they used to be well erm cough shouting at us a lot lol kinda hard to forget the RSM

and i think not alot of people would know Lance Jack to be honest the true name if i remember from the charge of the light brigade, was Corporal of the Lance and was generally charged with looking after the Lances.
Just as well our sgt's used to have a few bevvies, get mullard and chase the chickens round the garden with them, me and my m8's used to have to retrieve them from the fences etc etc in the mornings lol

Hard to forget the RSM at colchester, i went there for my promotion from sgt to staff, it lasted a day, we celebrated the hell out of the sgt's mess and i woke up the next morning asleep in the middle of the drill square with the rsm shouting at me, so hungover still i didn't know what was happening i told him to ..... off and get out of my room, it was beret off, belt off, laces out, straight to the glass house and rank revoked lol

Quote: "Corporal of the Lance"

Corporal of the Lance is still a rank in the British army, it's the equivalent rank of Sergeant, and only used in mounted guard regiments.

Good old Lance Corporal rank though, hardest to get, easiest to lose, the lance jacks always got the slack, i lost my lance jack about a dozen times before i managed to move on to corporal, after that the ranks came much easier lol
