TTT Read out Firstpreptime

[DH1806]

Hi Guys,
im working atm on a script that changes the Number of traitors manually because I don't like the way to do it as percent (2 Traitor with 6 People are okay, 4 with 12 are too much and so on...) so I wanted to write a script to change the ttt_traitor_pct for every different number of Players.
The question is WHEN to start the change of ttt_traitor_pct. The hook TTTBeginRound can't be used because it's called when the traitors are already selected. So I had to work with TTTPrepareRound which is called when the preparing begins. But since the preparing and the begin of the round people could still join. So I worked with getting the convar ttt_preptime_seconds and used a timer.simple with x-0,01.
The problem is that there is a ttt_firstpreptime which is called on the round after the mapchange and it's different than the normal ttt_preptime_seconds. So the scipt has to know when it has to use ttt_firstpreptime and when ttt_preptime_seconds. Is there a way to check if there was a mapchange in the previous round or how many rounds left until the next mapchange?
Would be glad if someone could help me

No ideas? :/

Well, TTT has to know when to use ttt_preptime_seconds, doesn't it? I dug around in TTT's code (located in GarrysMod/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown OR https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/tree/master/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown) and I found this nice snippet of code:

Code: Lua

1. -- Schedule round start
2. local ptime = GetConVar("ttt_preptime_seconds"):GetInt()
3. if GAMEMODE.FirstRound then
4.   ptime = GetConVar("ttt_firstpreptime"):GetInt()
5.   GAMEMODE.FirstRound = false
6. end

The GAMEMODE.FirstRound is set to true in the TTT initiation, and then set to false once it is used in the above code. I don't remember entirely how to reference TTT functions outside of TTT, so you might have to figure that out. But other than that basically just replace ptime with a variable of your choice (or use ptime) and you're good!
