[Tutorial] How to use variables as long as server runs

[Justin]

Well basically you can edit globallogic to change all the exitlevel(false) to exitlevel(true). But that has one drawback; it keeps all the persistent variables ( like score, kills and deaths ). Therefore i made this function to delete all the unnecessary game[] and self.pers[] variables:

Code:

DeletePersistentExceptSome()
{
    gamepers = getArrayKeys( game );
    for(i=0;i<gamepers.size;i++)
        if( gamepers[i] != "pers" )
            game[gamepers[i]] = undefined;
    if( isdefined( level.players ))
    {
        for(i=0;i<level.players.size;i++)
        {
            /* //Doesn't work properly. Looks like you can't do it the same way as on game[].
            playerpers = getArrayKeys( level.players[i].pers );
            for(x=0;x<playerpers.size;x++)
                if( playerpers[x] != "pers" )
                    level.players[i].pers[playerpers[x]] = undefined;
            */
            
            //It works like this though:
            //put here the self.pers[] vars you want to delete.
            level.players[i].pers["team"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["kills"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["assists"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["deaths"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["score"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["weapon"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["savedmodel"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["primary"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["weapon"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["guidid"] = undefined;
            level.players[i].pers["CheckedSame"] = undefined;
        }
    }
}

So just change all te exitlevel(false) to exitlevel(true) and do this function before the exitlevel. Like this:

Code:

DeletePersistentExceptSome();
exitlevel(true);

Now you can use game["pers"] & self.pers[ (the ones you didn't undefine) ] for as long as the server is running.

Good job,

[SuperNovaAO]

Code:

DeletePersistentExceptSome();
exitlevel(true);

Right?

Code:

DeletePersistentExceptSome();
exitlevel(true);

Right?

Yeh, my mistake xD
