die and pay for it :P

[CoZ]

k .. i have money script -bit edited from tommis rpg thing, thx tommis- and wanted to spice it up a bit more

well im just testing it atm, and what im testing is paying to die

(imho this could encourage people to try and race better and not suicide when they run off track.. also its the alternative to giving people cash for killing someone on a dm map - because that is impossible atm)

anyway .. the code to pay cash on death aint that hard

and so far people are somewhat okay with it

on *:SIGNAL:mta.death: {
[snip]
 if ($gus.cash($1,$2) >= 25) {
   !writeini -n " $+ $scriptdir $+ RPG.ini" CASH $mta.nick($1,$2) $gus.subtract($gus.cash($1,$2),10)
mta.pm $1 $2 Payed $chr(36) 10 for hospital .. be carefull this time 
 }
 elseif ($gus.cash($1,$2) <= 24) {
 !.timer 1 1 mta.pm $1 $2 Earn some cash and pay hospital bill later.. your lucky now }
}

but what i want to do is make a 10 sec exception for when you just spawned.. well my guess is (, based on the marginal scripting i learned so far , ) i need some sort of timer in

on *:SIGNAL:mta.respawn: { } or $mta.respawn

and have the death part check if timer is running

also similar

when map ends and gets unloaded .. people fall and tend to drown a lot

so ill probably need a similar trick with

on *:SIGNAL:mta.finish: { } or $mta.finish

but my coding is still pretty much limited to adding mta.text and simple ifs

can someone point me in the right direction ?

on *:SIGNAL:mta.startrace:{
 unset %respawned.*
 unset %raceend
}
on *:SIGNAL:mta.finish:{
 set %raceend 1
}
on *:SIGNAL:mta.respawn:{
 set %respawned. [ $+ $2 ] 1
 .timer $+ $2 1 10 unset %respawned. [ $+ $2 ]
}
on *:SIGNAL:mta.death:{
 if ((!%raceend) && (!%respawned. [ $+ $2 ])) {
   if ($gus.cash($1,$2) >= 25) {
     !writeini -n " $+ $scriptdir $+ RPG.ini" CASH $mta.nick($1,$2) $calc($gus.cash($1,$2)-10)
     mta.pm $1 $2 Paid $chr(36) 10$ for hospital .. be carefull next time 
   }
   elseif ($gus.cash($1,$2) <= 24) !.timer 1 1 mta.pm $1 $2 Earn some cash and pay hospital bill later.. your lucky now 
 }
}

* CoZ bows before lil Toady

your code works, as ever, like a charm

edit

update .. script started to lag more and more and more the longer it ran today

so it basically works, but making the script respond 2 or 3 seconds later than a event is probably not good
