Extra credit for certain rank

[ojbristow]

Hi all,

I have a question and really hope someone can help

When someone in a certain rank (supporter) is it possible for them to have an extra traitor or detective credit when it is their turn?

Thanks,

Owen

You should be able to do so by making if and elseif statements within TTT's code.

Go digging within the gamemode for a while, you'll find it.

Code: Lua

1. --add pdata "TraitorCredit" somehow up here like this:
2. ply:SetPData( "TraitorCredit", "true" )
3.  
4. --add players to traitor like this:
5. hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "AddTraitors", function()
6. for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
7. if v:IsUserGroup( "supporter" ) and v:GetPData( "TraitorCredit" ) == "true" and not v:IsActiveTraitor() then
8. v:SetRole( ROLE_TRAITOR )
9. v:RemovePData( "TraitorCredit" )
10. end
11. end )

What's with the extra ")" at the end of your code?

Sorry, what file does this go in, at the minute in looking at traitor_state.lua and cant see where I would slot this in. If im in the right place that is.

Because I hooked that function. Also I missed an end, edited the original post.

Don't put it in ttt gamemode files, put it in lua/autorun/server
Also make sure you confgure it, don't just throw it in there because right now it won't do anything. You have to give them the credit first.

How do you want the players to get credits?

[ojbristow]

So, when someone in the supporter rank is selected as a T, they will automatically get it at the start?

I'm not understanding, if they get traitor aren't they already traitor?

[ojbristow]

Yeah, but I want them to get a 'bonus' credit, so if a regular user has 2 credits by default I want the supporter to start off with 3.

OOOOHHH CREDITS. For some reason I thought you meant like how people can buy a traitor round in the pointshop on some servers.

Do this:

Code: Lua

1. hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "AddTraitors", function()
2.         for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
3.                 if v:IsUserGroup( "supporter" ) and v:IsActiveTraitor() then
4.                         v:AddCredits( 1 )
5.                 end
6.         end
7.         for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
8.                 if v:IsUserGroup( "supporter" ) and v:IsActiveDetective() then
9.                         v:AddCredits( 1 )
10.                 end
11.         end
12. end )
13.  
14.
