question

[Avagard]

i have a question. for example if i have 30 players in my server 

will in this code it will set "roundswonbyct1" 30 times and will it trigger 30 times???? here is the code(serverSide):

cttime1 = setTimer(
function()
local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")
local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1,"roundswonbyt1")
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
for theKey,thePlayers in ipairs ( players ) do
local playerTeamCT1 = getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(thePlayers))
if getElementDimension ( thePlayers ) == 0 then
if ( playerTeamCT1 ) == "Counter Terrorist" then
if getElementData ( thePlayers , "alive" ) == true then
setElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1",getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")+1)
triggerClientEvent ( thePlayers, "getitServer1",thePlayers, getCTscore1,getTscore1)
triggerClientEvent (thePlayers, "TimeEndRestartCT1",thePlayers)
end
end
end
end
end, 129000, 0)

 

if yes.. then i don`t want that i just want to check if players in terrorist team are alive!!! please tell me how to fix that IF YES and also please explain

if not, then tell me its okay  ty

This'll trigger the number of alive CT players. What do you want to do exactly? Check if there is any alive player from the terrorist team?

i don't want that... i want to trigger it for all alive CT players how do i fix that?

i don't want it to trigger 30 times wtf D:

It'll only trigger for alive CT players. "This'll trigger the number of alive CT players." So if there are 10 alive CTs, it'll trigger 10 times.

Then just use the event onPlayerWasted and check the team of player who died, or depending on how it should be use this function https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetAlivePlayersInTeam.

[Avagard]

i don't want that i just want to trigger the event for all alive ct players, which means if there are 5 alive ct players then it get trigged only for them, i don't want to trigger it 10 times

will this do?

cttime1 = setTimer(
function()
local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")
local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1,"roundswonbyt1")
local playerTeamCT1 = getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(resourceRoot))
if getElementDimension ( resourceRoots ) == 0 then
if ( playerTeamCT1 ) == "Counter Terrorist" then
if getElementData ( resourceRoot , "alive" ) == true then
setElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1",getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")+1)
triggerClientEvent ("getitServer1",resourceRoot, getCTscore1,getTscore1)
triggerClientEvent ("TimeEndRestartCT1",resourceRoot)
end
end
end
end, 129000, 0)

EDITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
 

now will this do it?

cttime1 = setTimer(
function()
 local players = getPlayersInTeam ( CT )
   for playerKey, playerValue in ipairs ( players ) do
        if getElementDimension ( playerValue ) == 0 then    
		    if getElementData ( playerValue , "alive" ) == true then
            triggerClientEvent ("TimeEndRestartCT1",playerValue)
           end
         end
	end
end, 129000, 0)

it won't trigger 10 times if players in ct are 10 alive, right?

If there a 10 players in CT team alive, it'll trigger the client event 10 times.

Want do you want to do exactly ?

i do not want to trigger it 10 times i just want to trigger it ONE TIME  for every CT team players alive WHEN TIME ENDS but i do not know how

Edited May 4, 2017 by Avagard

[Gordon_G]

So, the code above will do this

[Avagard]

really?

[Gordon_G]

Yes, it'll work if CT value is goodly a team created in the same resource

It will always trigger depending on the number of team members, you can't simply trigger 1 time for many players because the client-side runs individually.

so what should i do???

[Avagard]

 

i tried to learn something, will this work?

cttime1 = setTimer(
function()
       local playerTeamCT1 = getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(getRootElement()) 
         if getElementDimension ( getRootElement() ) == 0 then
	       if ( playerTeamCT1 ) == "Counter Terrorist" then
		    if getElementData ( getRootElement() , "alive" ) == true then
            triggerClientEvent ("TimeEndRestartCT1",getRootElement())
           end
         end
     end
	end
end, 129000, 0)

[Gordon_G]

If you put getRootElement() it ill trigger the client event for everyone, not only for the players who are in the CT team, I do not thing it's what you want to do.

 

You should keep the last code you did, because here, there is no loop, so the execution of the triggerClientEvent can't work.

You can not define getRootElement() to take all the players.

 

What @DNL291 said was not in order to modify your code, that was just a right information

That's wrong, you can trigger to multiple clients that are inside a table without using a loop. Wiki says:

If you specify a single player it will just be sent to that player. This argument can also be a table of player elements. Pseudo code to achieve what you want without triggering multiple times:

local teamMembers = getAllMembers() -- get list of team members
local triggerTo = {} -- init an empty table

for k, v in ipairs(teamMembers) -- loop through the possible team members
  if(isAlive(v) and whateverYouWant(v)) then -- conditions to meet
    table.insert(triggerTo) -- they met the conditions, put them in the table we created
  end
end
triggerClientEvent(triggerTo, "myEvent", resourceRoot ) -- use the triggerTo table as the sendTo argument

Keep in mind, that's a non-working code, you can't just copy-paste it, fill in the blanks, this way you will not trigger inside the loop

will this work?

local teamMembers =  getPlayersInTeam ( T )
local triggerTo = {} 

for k, v in ipairs(teamMembers) 
  if getElementDimension ( v ) == 0 and getElementData ( v , "alive" ) == true then
    table.insert(triggerTo)
  end
end
triggerClientEvent(triggerTo, "TimeEndRestartCT1", resourceRoot )

 

Edited May 5, 2017 by Avagard

[pa3ck]

That should work as long as "T" is an actual team element (you're also missing the "do" after (teamMembers))

[Avagard]

ok and how do i reset the table? for example when someone leaves the lobby (a gamemode i am using) or when someone switches the team

is this not important and the script can do it automatically? 

Edited May 5, 2017 by Avagard

[pa3ck]

Well, that will only run once, you will need to call it inside a setTimer or attach it to an event, eg. when the round ends etc, but yes, whenever it triggers, it will update the table automatically.

[Avagard]

oh, okay i wasted your time.. thank you very much!

[pa3ck]

No, you did not waste my time at all, you're welcome.

Will not that method in pratice trigger for each player? Since client unlike server side executes for a specific player.

If using a table of player elements it works, can you explain me how the MTA internally will execute this function using a table on 'sendTo' argument?

 

@Avagard: If your code already works, you don't have to worry about it, you will waste your time. Otherwise, make sure your code doesn't use too much bandwidth, in this case you can explain what you want to achieve and we can give you alternatives.
