Plutonium

Resxt Na I'll just wait for the update. It wasn't a problem before and I'm not gonna change it now just because y'all messed something up. Thanks for making sure the bug is getting fixed tho.

This was the relevant part because this script has a lot of fixes such as tombstone and map restart, but I ended up fixing it by myself.

In general here's what I did:

player thread noobFriendly();
to
self thread noobFriendly();
on onPlayerConnect() solved the most part of the problem.

Also, moving the call of noobFriendly() from onPlayerConnect() to onPlayerSpawn()

and removing the infinite loop on onPlayerSpawn() because for my script it's simply unnecessary.

I'm a front-end dev with some years of back-end experience and still getting the hang of lua.

We can happily close this thread

@GangorraAidetica I understand your idea, I explain to you, the price change of the mysterious box as I remember in a published post created a thread for each player, basically it works, but it is not the right thing, since the server will create a thread for each player and here is the point, each player will establish the price of the mystery box, instead the correct way would be to create a level thread and only with a single thread would the price of the box be established for all players and thus be avoided create a thread for each player and redo with threads that do the same and also avoid saturating the server with unnecessary threads. I hope you have explained me.

Instead, in your case, what you need is to manage the values ​​of kills and deaths of each of the players, for that reason a player thread is necessary. Since the kills and deaths are unique for each player that connects to the server. Unlike the price of the box, a level thread is needed because the box is the same item that will have the same properties for all players.

Should be stored in player.pers["kills"].

Ox_ said in Where to find useful functions and variables (reference) for GSC?:

More experienced people just remember the stuff from years of experience from earlier cods etc.
When getting started, just pretty much just Google search for a list of stuff. Looking at what other people have done is also good when getting started.
Loads of tutorials for gsc found with a Google search as well. Remember that you don't have to search for BO2 gsc, gsc is pretty much the same for all cods. Best documented stuff you'll probably find from earlier cods. Or maybe BO3 since it actually officially supports modding.

Also don't forget about just studying the actual gscs BO2 runs off.
It's very good to find new stuff as well.
You'll find a dump for the decompiled gscs stickied in the BO2 modding section.
For example that other question you just posted here, "how to find out zombie kills", is solved in like a minute by just searching the word "kills" in patch_zm.
Personally I use "AstroGrep" to search for text inside the whole dump.

Hey, thx for your reply.

I found "kills" as well but it seems all I could relate was to global stats, not in the "match" itself.

I'll keep on digging but geez most part of the code is pretty tiresome to read!

Nice tips, thank you again!
