[Tutorial] How to add a simple call into a mod [Beginner]

[d0h!]

This Tutorial is not for the X-Mas Give away.
I found it and thought it could be useful for Beginners.

Right here is the part of the tutorial which is kind of long just to describe how to edit .GSCs.

Example: __missions.gsc

Now in Notepad++ you should find OnPlayerConnect() near the start of the file.

Code:

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill( "connected", player );
player thread initMissionData();
player thread monitorBombUse();
player thread monitorDriveDistance();
player thread monitorFallDistance();
player thread monitorLiveTime();
player thread monitorPerkUsage();
player thread monitorGameEnded();
player thread monitorFlaredOrTabuned();
player thread monitorDestroyedTank();
player thread monitorImmobilizedTank();
}
}

Now what you'll need todo is delete "player thread monitorBombuse();" once you've deleted that search you're .GSC in Notepad++ and delete this:

Code:

monitorBombUse()
{
self endon("disconnect");
while(1)
{
self waittill( "bomb_defused" );
self processChallenge( "ch_hero" );
}
}

Go back up to OnPlayerConnect() and add this "player thread OnplayerSpawned();" which should look like this:

Code:

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill( "connected", player );
player thread initMissionData();
player thread OnPlayerSpawned(); //Right here
player thread monitorDriveDistance();
player thread monitorFallDistance();
player thread monitorLiveTime();
player thread monitorPerkUsage();
player thread monitorGameEnded();
player thread monitorFlaredOrTabuned();
player thread monitorDestroyedTank();
player thread monitorImmobilizedTank();
}
}

Once you've done that you're going to need to add this OnPlayerSpawn thread I created under the OnPlayerConnect()

Code:

OnPlayerSpawned()
{
self endon("disconnect");
for(;;)
{
self waittill("playerspawned");
}
}

Add that Under you're OnPlayerConnect() which would make it now look like this.

Code:

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill( "connected", player );
player thread initMissionData();
player thread OnPlayerSpawned();
player thread monitorDriveDistance();
player thread monitorFallDistance();
player thread monitorLiveTime();
player thread monitorPerkUsage();
player thread monitorGameEnded();
player thread monitorFlaredOrTabuned();
player thread monitorDestroyedTank();
player thread monitorImmobilizedTank();
}
}
OnPlayerSpawned()
{
for(;;)
{
self waittill("playerspawned");
}
}

Now what we are going todo is add a simple Text thread into the .GSC file before putting it back into the .Zone file.
This bit is kind of self explanatory, so you should be able to figure out what's going on here.

Code:

OnPlayerSpawned()
{
for(;;)
{
self waittill("playerspawned");
self thread doText();
}
}
doText()
{
self endon("disconnect")
self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::hintMessage("^6Welcome To Aidan's Modded Lobby!");
}

A little codelist to start with:
Set your Stats

Code:

Set Prestige
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "plevel", prestige, false );
Set Xp
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "rankxp", xp, false );
Set Cod Points
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "codpoints", cp, false );
Set Time Played
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "time_played_total", seconds, false );
Set Kills
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "kills", kills, false );
Set Deaths
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "deaths", deaths, false );
Set Headshots
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "headshots", headshots, false );
Set Hits
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "hits", bullet hit, false);
Set Bad Host Count
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "badhostcount", bad host counter, false);
Set Misses
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "misses", bullet miss, false);
Set Total Bullets shot
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "total_shots", bullet counter, false);
Set Accuracy
self maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::statSet( "accuracy", accuracy or KD, false);

Text On Screen Mods

Bottom Corner

Code:

self iPrintln("Put Text Here");

Middle of Screen

Code:

self iPrintlnBold("Put Text Here");

Type Writer

Code:

self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::hintMessage("Message Here");

Type Writer with sound, Icon and glow

Code:

notifyData = spawnstruct();
notifyData.titleText = "Enter Text here";
notifyData.notifyText = "Enter Text here";
notifyData.iconName = "Enter_Icon_Name;
notifyData.sound = "Enter_Sound_name;
notifyData.duration = 5;

To add color use:

Code:

"^1Text here" "^2Text Here" "^3Text Here "^4Text Here" "^5Text Here" "^6Text Here"

Dvars

Set Dvar and Value

Code:

setDvar("Dvar", "Value");
setDvar("r_fullbright", "1");
