Skip Intro Vote system

[Majk]

Hii i wonder how to make a Voting system for skiping a Intro.
it should be like, if 60% of the players vote -skip, then no intro comes.

I did look at that "dargs kick-vote system" but all that seem to advanced for me ^^ so anyone who could help plz`?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

An array, called Player_Voted[], type integer.
A variable Skip_Intro, integer

Events
Player 1 types '-skip' as an exact match
Player 2 types '-skip' as an exact match
Player 3 types '-skip' as an exact match
etc

Conditions
Player_Voted[Player number of (triggering player)] is equal to 0

Actions
Set Player_Voted[Player number of (triggering player)] =1
Set Skip_Intro = (Skip_Intro+1)

Then have periodic checks during your intro.

If Skip_Intro > (Number of players divded by two) then......

not to argue, but wouldnt it be better just to check eah time the function is called with an if/then statement?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

You can't really, because there is no trigger that says

'Stop this other trigger from working'.

So the working trigger doing the intro needs to check.

 

[Alexei]

surely with an easy:
Trigger - turn off (this trigger)
action would suffice for that?

Ok i made a trigger with the trigg-code above.
althou, i didnt realy understand how to make that periodic event?
to check every now and then??

my intro triggers looks like this:

Event - map initialization

Condition -

Actions - Wait 10 sec
turn cinematic mode on
camera - apply intro <gen>
etc etc..

shall i insert any triggs in my intro trigger to get the voting system to work?

Nooooo.

Turning a trigger off, is just like not having it initially enabled. Events for it won't fire.

It doesn't stop it mid way though. If he has a two minute trigger intro, and they vote to skip, it will need to cut that trigger short.

So he'll need checks periodically, and can use 'Trigger: Skip remaining actions'. But that only applies for the trigger that the line is found inside.

IF, his intro is multiple triggers, he can add Skip_Intro to the conditions. But He'll need a short block of 'cleanup' code, or the game will be left in 'half-an-intro' state (cameras, letterbox mode, etc.)

PS... 10 seconds is a long dang time to wait...

heh heeeeeeeeelp

as i said in last post, need help what to do now to make the vote system complete..

the 10 sec wait in start for intro, is just so people can have alil time to vote ^^

 

[SD_Ryoko]

10 second wait may as well BE the intro.

If your intro checks for skip, they can vote during, right?

Unless its in cinematics mode... hummm

 

[Alexei]

yes, I get it now. ok, another lesson learned ^^

is it btw possible to skip a timer?
I got a countdown timer running so everybody can prepare his troops. However when everybody is done and the timer has time on it they would have to wait.

I thought making a vote system to skip the timer... is there a way to force the timer to stop or go to 0?

heh heeeeeeeeelp

as i said in last post, need help what to do now to make the vote system complete..

after 10 sec it goes to cinematic mode.. so no one able to vote at that time.
And how do i check for engoh votes??
i made that trigger code as Ryoko first posted. but dont know how to go from there?

 

[Majk]

help plz?

speaking from an experienced point of view, if your intro is long enough to warrant a skip vote system, you should not have that intro there in the first place.

Cinematics generally have no right of place in a multiplayer map. Up to 10 seconds is about the best you can get away with (absolute limit).

why don't you have a dialogue at the beginning that is what i have. It is easy to make and it is nice because the players don't have to remember to say "-skip" at the beginning. They can just say no.

Yes or No
Events
    Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds

    Set No = (Last created dialog Button)
    Player Group - Pick every player in AllPlayers and do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Dialog - Show Yes_or_no for (Picked player)

            Set voted = (voted + 1)
            Do nothing
        Else - Actions
            Set Dont_Play = (Dont_Play + 1.00)
            Set voted = (voted + 1)
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            Dont_Play Greater than or equal to ((Real((Number of players in AllPlayers))) / 2.00)
            voted Equal to (Number of players in AllPlayers)

                Else - Actions
                    Do nothing

That is how I did mine. Make sure you make your "no" variable a real that way it can have decimals and won't be rounded up.
