Traitor amount at round start

[mirron]

Hello guys. I was just send here from an over 2 year old thread from Off-Topic. My problem/question what ever... is that i would like to have a script that posts in chat how many traitors, Detectives and innocents are spawned in the round. A nice to have would be that the text is colored with the role specific color. How i said i found something familiar but it is rather old. I am pretty new so a litte advice would be really appreciated.

Here the link to the thread

Thx 4 the help and sorry for the bad English

There was one I used from the workshop for a while before it stopped working all of a sudden for me. I've written up my own since then and it's actually very simply. I don't know for sure if any else exist but if you're looking to make your own it's very simple. You could have 3 variables, ICount, TCount, and DCount, then loop through all the players checking

Code: Lua

1. if Player:Alive() and Player:IsTraitor() then
2.   TCount = TCount + 1
3. end

And then add a couple elseifs to it to check if they are alive and IsDetective() and finally if they are JUST alive. Then have a ULib.tsayColor() to say how many are of each.

Thanks for the explenation. but one does the script go in lua/autostart/server or one of the ulx folders?

[mirron]

This is my curent script

Code: [Select]

hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "NumberOfTypes", function()
   
local TCount = 0
    local DCount = 0
    local ICount = 0
local traitor = ""
local detectives = ""
local innocents = ""
   
for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if v:IsActiveTraitor() then
TCount=TCount+1
elseif v:IsActiveDetective() then
DCount=DCount+1
elseif v:Alive() then
ICount=ICount+1;
end
    end
traitor = tostring(TCount)
detectives = tostring(DCount)
innocents = tostring(ICount)

function ULib.tsayColor( color_white , "Diese Runde gibt es " , Color(255,7,0), traitor, " Traitor, " , Color(0,0,235), detectives, " Detectives", color_white, " und " , Color(0,235,0), innocents , " Innocents.")

end )

There's no need to put 'function' before the ULib.tsayColor() statement.

That can be placed anywhere where's it's autorun, but I personally have mine under

Code: [Select]

/garrysmod/addons/VCommands/lua/ulib/modules/server
Other than that, though, it should work.

This is what i get. i put it in lua/autostart/server

Code: [Select]

If I'm not mistaken, you placing it in /lua/server/autorun means that it loads before ULX and ULib do. So that may be causing an issue.

[iViscosity]

Not necessarily, they're both autorun but this was just being loaded before. Best to put it in a custom ulib modules to guarantee it isn't.

[mirron]

done it but still the same

Code: [Select]

oh no sorry it worked but it says 0 traitors... the rest is correct

[mirron]

maybe the script is to fast and dont find any traitor at the begining.. is there a wait/sleep command? or is it because the game dont allow such "cheaty" interaction?

[mirron]

is there a option to make the script this sort of calculation: spawned players - detectives - innos = Traitors ? is there such function as ActivePlayers?

[iViscosity]

Or just make a timer that waits a second or two then counts them all.
