I never made something in lua but i tried.

It doesn't give an error, nor does it work, but here ya go

function startVote( ) 
     local mode = getGameType () 
     local joinedPlayerName = getClientName ( source ) 
     if( mode == nil ) then 
     executeCommandHandler ( "votemode", source ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), startVote )

Ummm, learn?

Best way to learn is too try for yourself...

[SanZoR]

Hey edison, im learning it all the time. Note that i have learnt LUA just 3 days, and now i can edit stuff, but cant done own.

a script isn't classed as a game mode so if there is a script (it think hay is classed as a script) then it will bring up the vote

lol edit things

/me laughs at lil^san for learning to edit things and not the propper thing

Which function can I use to check and see if there's a mode running?

[ChrML]

The mapmanager resource has a function to check: getRunningGamemode

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ap_manager

For example:

  
local resource = call ( getResourceFromName ( "mapmanager" ), "getRunningGamemode" ) 
if ( resource ) then 
    -- gamemode is running 
else 
    -- gamemode is not running 
end 
  

[SanZoR]

What i should do to it to make it work?

[XetaQuake]

ChrML or anybody else, can make a fully complete script to start vote when no gamemode is running?

Hi,

This script will do just what you guys are asking for

I can't upload attachments so, here it is the code:

First, create a folder named "votegmonjoin" in "...\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources\"

Now, create a file named "votegmonjoin_server.lua" inside the folder you created before. Copy and paste the code bellow to this file:

  
function vgmGameModeRunning() 
  
    outputDebugString("<DEBUG>(Server): vgmGameModeRunning() called!") 
     
    local resource = call ( getResourceFromName("mapmanager"), "getRunningGamemode" ) 
  
    if ( resource == nil ) then 
        --TODO: Its this check always valid? 
         
        -- gamemode is not running = Start vote! 
        executeCommandHandler ( "votemode", source ) 
         
        return false 
         
    end 
     
    return true 
     
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), vgmGameModeRunning) 
  

Create another file named "meta.xml" inside the folder you created before. Copy and paste the code bellow to this file:

  
<meta> 
    <info author="impression" description="Execute /votemode on player join if no game modes are running." type="script" version="0.1" /> 
     
    <include resource="mapmanager" /> 
    <include resource="votemanager" /> 
     
    <script src="votegmonjoin_server.lua" type="server"/> 
</meta> 
  

Now, whe need to give permission to this script to execute the function "executeCommandHandler ()".

Open the ACL file (acl.xml) located in " "...\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\" and, add the following code at top of file after the tag "":

  
   <group name="VoteGmOnJoin"> 
      <acl name="VoteGmOnJoin"/> 
      <object name="resource.votegmonjoin"/> 
   </group> 
  

Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add the following code before the last "":

  
   <acl name="VoteGmOnJoin"> 
      <right name="function.executeCommandHandler" access="true"/> 
   </acl> 
  

Start the script and you are set. Now, when a player joins the server, and no gamemode is being executed, he will automatically execute the "/votemode" command from the "votemanager" script.

Have fun.

EDIT: Fixed a typo in the "meta.xml" file code.

[RottWeiller]

I edited my original post to fix a typo in the "meta.xml" file.

If you copied the code before I fixed, copy the "meta.xml" part again.

Sorry about that.

[XetaQuake]

Realy good work

now i delet this thread from my favorites, thanks!
