HUD killstreak Player

Kalitos

I have been looking for this for a long time and I think I could do it, so I share with you I know that I am not the only one who needed it.
I have relied on coding found in this same forum and the guides given.

:: CODE UPDATE :: 23-05-2021 ::
Now correctly registers the kills that the player gets when he has a hard line pro and gets 2 assists counting as kill

init()
{
    level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connected", player);        
        player thread killstreakPlayer();      
    }
}	


killstreakPlayer ()
{
	self endon ("disconnect");
	level endon("game_ended");
	self.hudkillstreak = createFontString ("Objective", 1);
	self.hudkillstreak setPoint ("CENTER", "TOP", "CENTER", 10);
	self.hudkillstreak.label = &"^2 KILLSTREAK: ^7";
	
	while(true)
	{
		self.hudkillstreak setValue(self.pers["cur_kill_streak"]);
		wait 0.5;
	}
	
	
}

To implement it they must create a .GSC file and paste the code in it, then follow the guide on how to load a scripthere

@Kalitos This code can be improved, self.killstreaks in onPlayerConnected does not make any sense. It is also completely useless since it is a value you take from a function. Just use that function and you're done.
Also, as far as anything goes, if you can avoid non-stop loops, that's better. In this case you just need to see when an enemy is killed to update the value.

@Sorex you'd want to wait for player spawn also, so the value is updated if they die or switch teams

Sorex

@birchy I do not remeber if killstreaks on iw5 keep going also if player die. idk so if not happen its needed another system to reset the value

birchy

@Sorex what i'm saying is you only get the new value on player_killed, so the HUD won't be updated if the player switches team or dies

mrpsycho

@Sorex said in HUD killstreak Player:

self getPlayerData("killstreaksState","count")

this will only get killstreak toward killstreaks as in UAV and all that stuff, so if ur highest selected killstreak is let's say a osprey gunner which is a 18 killstreak, once u get to that, this will reset back to 0, so i'd just use self.pers["cur_kill_streak"]

Sorex

Thanks for the info, good to know

@Kalitos You should do it like this, this way it does not update all the time

KillstreakPlayer()
{
self endon ("disconnect");
level endon("game_ended");
self.hudkillstreak = createFontString( "Objective", 1 );
self.hudkillstreak setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", "CENTER", 10 );
self.hudkillstreak.label = &"^2 KILLSTREAK: ^7";
while(true)
{
if(self.playerstreak != self.pers["cur_kill_streak"])
{
self.playerstreak = self.pers["cur_kill_streak"];
self.hudkillstreak setValue(self.pers["cur_kill_streak"]);
}
wait 0.01;
}
}

I fixed the warnings in the console, I included the explanations at the bottom for those who are curious about it.
I also made it not unnecessarily thread on bots, just a small performance "fix"
@Kalitos Maybe this will interest you or maybe you wanna update your script on the OP

#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;

Init()
{
    level thread OnPlayerConnected();
}

OnPlayerConnected()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connected", player);
        
        // Don't thread DisplayPlayerKillstreak() on bots
        if (isDefined(player.pers["isBot"]))
        {
            if (player.pers["isBot"])
            {
                continue; // skip
            }
        }

        player thread DisplayPlayerKillstreak();
    }
}


DisplayPlayerKillstreak()
{
    self endon ("disconnect");
    level endon("game_ended");

    self.killstreak_text = createFontString( "Objective", 0.65 );
    self.killstreak_text setPoint( 0, "TOP", 0, 7.5 );
    self.killstreak_text.label = &"^1KILLSTREAK: ";

    while(true)
    {
        if(!IsDefined(self.playerstreak) || self.playerstreak != self.pers["cur_kill_streak"])
        {
            self.playerstreak = self.pers["cur_kill_streak"];
            self.killstreak_text setValue(self.pers["cur_kill_streak"]);
        }

        wait 0.01;
    }
}

For some reason the game seems to throw a warning when you pass "CENTER" in the setPoint function so I replaced it with 0.

This was happening because when doing this

if(self.playerstreak != self.pers["cur_kill_streak"])
{
    self.playerstreak = self.pers["cur_kill_streak"];
    self.killstreak_text setValue(self.pers["cur_kill_streak"]);
}

the first time the playerstreak variable isn't defined yet because it's a variable created by the script in that if condition.
So to make sure the script works normally I added another case !IsDefined(self.playerstreak) || so that it will work both when our HUD needs to be updated and also when our variable isn't defined yet (first iteration)

Same than above, when comparing undefined to a variable the result isn't true or false but undefined (to my understanding)
