[Request] SOLVED|death messages

[rotceh_dnih]

hey guy's

i would like to bring back death message's and this is how i'am doing it at the moment

Code:

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned_player");
self thread setWeapons();
            self waittill("death");    
                self iPrintlnBold("^1YOU DIED SILLY");

but i would like to do random message's at death
something like

Code:

            self waittill("death");    
                self thread randomMessage();

Code:

randommessage ()
{
    switch(RandomInt(15))
    {
        case 0:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 1:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 2:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 3:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 4:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 5:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 6:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 7:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 8:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 9:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
             10:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 11:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 12:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 13:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 14:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
    }
        self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::hintMessage(self.randommessage, self.randommessage );

}

so im haveing the same issue with the random killstreaks so fixing one should fix the other , please help find out why im getting a bad syntax when starting a private match
here's my screenshot of error attached
and my full _rank.gsc

@ hintmessage take out 1 self.randommessage

[rotceh_dnih]

ok tryed that and it did not work same error

---

maybe someone could post there working code ?

[rotceh_dnih]

well they say you caint ask a stupid question but i'm feeling like abit of dick here spending over 3 hour's on something i dont understand , this is really starting to beat me

[No One]

maybe instead of using cases, try else ifs

[rotceh_dnih]

thanks man so would i do that like this

Code:

randommessage ()
{
    switch(RandomInt(15))
    {
        else if 0:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        else if 1:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        else if 2:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
        else if 3:
            self.randommessage  = "Death message here";
        break;
  
etc...

or do i have to re wright it ?

[SuperNovaAO]

randommsg = RandomInt(15);

if (randommsg == 0) {
...
} else if (randommsg == 1) {
...
}

Or something like that. Never coded any mods mor Call of Duty games and for the Source Engine is pretty much like C++ (and really compiled, not parsed and not pseudo C++).

[iAegle]

Code:

randomMessage()
{
    self messageSelect();
    self maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::hintMessage( self.randommessage );
}

messageSelect()
{
    switch(RandomInt(5))
    {
        case 0:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 1:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 2:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 3:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
        case 4:
            self.randommessage = "Death message here";
        break;
    }
}

try this?

Might be the double spaces between self.randommessage and =

[iAegle]

Might be the double spaces between self.randommessage and =

Noticed that too, I dont know if the code I posted above is working took out the double spaces there also..
