Post by: StonedSoldier on 26 May 2004, 15:21:04

Scores

Bobby Bruning : 3
James Pound : 1
Adam Shillingsburg : 0
Ryan Carriera : 6

Well I'd imagine that a score script for each guy is needed and then one titletext script that brings everything together.

Use the format (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=F#format) command.

Example:

hint format ["Player score: %1", _playerScore]

No, the only 'big scripting' you will have to do is the part where you give 'score' to the units in the group (you do know that the "score" command only works on players, right?). Otherwise, you just use the 'format' command, and the 'name' command, and you are all set, display-wise:

hint format["SCORES\n%1: %2\n%3: %4", name unit1, SCORE_1, name unit2, SCORE_2]

And so on. I don't see where the big deal is... ???

i had written the script slighty easier,

having one varible brought together to make a single string,

_score1 = format ["%1 %2", name man, score man]

i made it nice a pretty only to find that the score command only works for human players like you stated and CPU players,

do you know if there is a way to calculate a non-human players kills??  :gunman:
