[Release] player checkpoints

[iAegle]

You can use this to set checkpoints and see if he completed that one already

Code:

playerCheckpoint( name )
{
    return( isDefined( self.Checkpoints[ name ] ) );
}

getPlayerCheckpoint( name )
{
    if( !isDefined( self.Checkpoints[ name ] ) )
        return undefined;
        
    return self.Checkpoints[ name ];
}

setPlayerCheckpoint( name, arg )
{
    if( !isDefined( self.Checkpoints ) )
        self.Checkpoints = [];
    
    if( !isDefined( arg ) )
        arg = true;
    
    self.Checkpoints[ name ] = arg;
}

clearPlayerCheckpoint( name )
{
    self.Checkpoints[ name ] = undefined;
}

here's an example

Code:

thing()
{
    self setPlayerCheckpoint( "thing" );
    
    while( playerCheckpoint( "thing" ) )
    {
        if( randomInt( 250 ) < 25 )
            self clearPlayerCheckpoint( "thing" );
            
        wait 1;
    }
    
    // blablabla
}

dunno what you mean but I normally use it to block something untill he has its checkpoint...

Code:

while( !playerCheckpoint( "thing" ) )
wait .05;

Why is this useful? Its much easier to just do self.shit = "bla"; .. now you have to use the function.. hmm

If you wanna make custom gametype like "race" (funny gametype from HALO) you need checkpoint, can be for example flag.

My sugestion is make race mod, when a player reach point can spawn maybe weapon or bonus perk, like old school, add spawning weapon like when using quantum device in moon map but only after grab flag.

but you don't need functions for that, you could just do checkpoint1 = (0,0,0);
