Listing All Players in a Map

[Shako 97]

I know it's possible, but I can't recall how to do it.

 

When in a maze, instead of saying "There are currently X players in MAP", it says "There are currently X Players in a MAP: Name1, Name2, Name3, Name4" etc.

 

Does anyone know?

If you look in CA ctrl.lua at the function that is called when map is closing, there is a function DealAllActiveInMap(map,func). Make you can add something like this before announcing players: 

function GetPlayerNames (role)
	table. insert(PlayersInMap,GetChaDefaultName(role))
end

--
	PlayersInMap = {}
	DealAllActiveInMap (map,'GetPlayerNames')
	local ListPlayers = ''
	for i,v in pairs(PlayersInMap) do
		ListPlayers = string.format('%s [%s],',ListPlayers,v)
	end
	local msg = string.format('MAPNAME has [%s] players remaining: %s' , GetMapActivePlayer(map) , ListPlayers)
	Notice(msg)

Hello @Shako

 

You can use GetMapCopyNextPlayerCha(map_copy) function

for example

function GetPlayerList(map)

	local players = {}
	local ply_num = GetMapCopyPlayerNum(map) 
	
	BeginGetMapCopyPlayerCha(map)
	
	for i = 0, ply_num - 1, 1 do
		
		local player = GetMapCopyNextPlayerCha(map)
		if (ValidCha(player) == 1) then
			players[i] = player
		end
		
	end
	
	return players

end

Nice script! Thank you! I was able to combine this script with another function on my other thread in order to create something that calls the remaining players and names every 5 seconds in the map.

 

Your script had some wrong function names in them so I fixed them for you.

 

This is my script that I made for Chaos Argent:

 

Chaos_Argent_Tick = 0

function GetPlayerNames (role)

	table.insert ( PlayersInMap , GetChaDefaultName ( role ) )

end



function map_copy_run_garner2 ( map_copy )

	local Map_Description = "Chaos Argent"

			Chaos_Argent_Tick = Chaos_Argent_Tick + 1

			PlayersInMap = {}
			DealAllActivePlayerInMap ( map_copy , 'GetPlayerNames' )

	local ListPlayers = ''

		for i,v in pairs ( PlayersInMap ) do

			ListPlayers = string.format( '%s [%s],' , ListPlayers , v )

		end

		if math.mod ( Chaos_Argent_Tick, 5 ) == 0 then
	
			local msg = string.format( "["..Map_Description.."] has [%s] players remaining:%s" , GetMapActivePlayer ( map_copy ) , ListPlayers )
			Notice ( msg )

		end

end

 

Works Perfectly! Credits of help to: @V3ct0r & @7n6

@7n6 on the end of the announcement though, it will have a comma "," that doesn't belong is there way to remove it?

I don't quite know how to put this into use @V3ct0r! Could you help out?

When returned "players", how do I announce them?

THX!

@Shako

try put 

ListPlayers = string.sub(ListPlayers, 1, string.len(ListPlayers) - 1)

after for in pairs loop. It should delete last comma from string.

 

Also you can use my method

function map_copy_run_garner2 ( map_copy )

	Chaos_Argent_Tick = Chaos_Argent_Tick + 1

	if (math.mod(Chaos_Argent_Tick, 5) == 0) then
		
		local players = ''
		local ply_num = GetMapCopyPlayerNum(map_copy) 
		
		BeginGetMapCopyPlayerCha(map_copy)
		
		for i = 0, ply_num - 1, 1 do
			
			local player = GetMapCopyNextPlayerCha(map_copy)
			if (ValidCha(player) == 1 and Hp(player) > 0) then
				
				players = string.format('%s [%s]', players, GetChaDefaultName(player))
				if (i < ply_num - 2) then
					players = string.format('%s, ', players)
				end
				
			end
			
		end

		local msg = string.format( "[Chaos Argent] has [%s] players remaining: %s" , GetMapActivePlayer(map_copy), players)
		Notice(msg)

	end

end

but I didn't test it

@V3ct0r I don't have time to test it right now, but looking at the script it should do the same exact thing!

thanks both of you for helping with the script.
