question on making a simple gsc code for "reserved slots"

mikzy

I could easily make one i think and i have a basic idea but tried and it didnt work. Does anyone else have a idea on this?
Example: 17 players (max but you can still join) and when you join, it finds you have VIP status and after that, it kicks a random player that doesnt have VIP status

mikzy Untested, but I left some comments that should make it easy to figure out.

hasVipStatus() {
	/*
		Conduct your VIP status check here 
	*/
	
	return status;
}

/*
	Returns bool on whether room was made for the VIP player
	
	vip_slots - The amount of VIP slots on the server 
*/
makeVipRoom(vip_slots) {
	room_made = false;
	
	if(level.players.size >= vip_slots) { // If there's as many or more players as there are vip slots, we need to kick someone who isn't vip 
		for(i = 0; i < level.players.size; i++) { // Iterate over each player in the server 
			player = level.players[i];
			if(!player isHost() && !player hasVipStatus()) { // If the player isn't host and isn't vip 
				// The iterator index should be the same as the entity number in this case (I think) 
				kick(i); // Kick the non-vip player 
				room_made = true;
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	
	return room_made;
}

makeVipRoom() returns a boolean on whether room was made or not. Maybe you could use it to send an error or something to the player that there's no room available.

So, for example, the server is full and has 18 players in. Lets say we have it so if you VIP status is found on player joining, it does kick a random player and lets you join. Is that how it would work?

mikzy I don't think it's actually possible to-do that cause onPlayerConnect works when the player is actually connecting and it doesn't react when the server is full i believe.

I do believe that this could be made in GSC. Depends on how you want to approach it.

I feel like it'd be easy to create one "reserved slot" but it would require you to have one less player available in order to allow players to attempt to connect.

Cahz thats what i was thinking

What's wrong with IW4MAdmin? It has reserve slots.

mikzy
