Title: [Tutorial]Zombie counter
Post by: InFInIX on March 21, 2014, 07:19:31 pm

Go to mapname.gsc

and add this to the bottom

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zombiesleft_hud()
{   
	Remaining = create_simple_hud();
  	Remaining.horzAlign = "center";
  	Remaining.vertAlign = "middle";
   	Remaining.alignX = "Left";
   	Remaining.alignY = "middle";
   	Remaining.y = 230;
   	Remaining.x = 60;
   	Remaining.foreground = 1;
   	Remaining.fontscale = 8.0;
   	Remaining.alpha = 1;
   	Remaining.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );


   	ZombiesLeft = create_simple_hud();
   	ZombiesLeft.horzAlign = "center";
   	ZombiesLeft.vertAlign = "middle";
   	ZombiesLeft.alignX = "center";
   	ZombiesLeft.alignY = "middle";
   	ZombiesLeft.y = 230;
   	ZombiesLeft.x = -1;
   	ZombiesLeft.foreground = 1;
   	ZombiesLeft.fontscale = 8.0;
   	ZombiesLeft.alpha = 1;
   	ZombiesLeft.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );
   	ZombiesLeft SetText("Zombies Left: ");


	while(1)
	{
		remainingZombies = get_enemy_count() + level.zombie_total;
		Remaining SetValue(remainingZombies);

		if(remainingZombies == 0 )
			{
			Remaining.alpha = 0; 
			while(1)
				{
					remainingZombies = get_enemy_count() + level.zombie_total;
					if(remainingZombies != 0 )
					{
					Remaining.alpha = 1; 
					break;
					}
					wait 0.5;
				}
			}
		wait 0.5;
	}		
}

now call the function after

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thread zombiesleft_hud();

If you want to change the text

search for

Code Snippet

Plaintext

ZombiesLeft SetText("Zombies Left: ");

And change the Zombies left:

WARNIG:

Leave the "" or you will get a bad syntax error

I could be wrong, but I don't think this tutorial was made by you. In that case, you might want to credit the original creator.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

get_enemy_count()

Wouldn't this get all Axis characters in a level? Wouldn't it be more accurate to make it like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zombiesleft_hud()
{   
	Remaining = create_simple_hud();
  	Remaining.horzAlign = "center";
  	Remaining.vertAlign = "middle";
   	Remaining.alignX = "Left";
   	Remaining.alignY = "middle";
   	Remaining.y = 230;
   	Remaining.x = 60;
   	Remaining.foreground = 1;
   	Remaining.fontscale = 8.0;
   	Remaining.alpha = 1;
   	Remaining.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );


   	ZombiesLeft = create_simple_hud();
   	ZombiesLeft.horzAlign = "center";
   	ZombiesLeft.vertAlign = "middle";
   	ZombiesLeft.alignX = "center";
   	ZombiesLeft.alignY = "middle";
   	ZombiesLeft.y = 230;
   	ZombiesLeft.x = -1;
   	ZombiesLeft.foreground = 1;
   	ZombiesLeft.fontscale = 8.0;
   	ZombiesLeft.alpha = 1;
   	ZombiesLeft.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );
   	ZombiesLeft SetText("Zombies Left: ");


	while(1)
	{
		level.zombie_total SetValue(level.zombie_total);

		if(level.zombie_total == 0 )
			{
			Remaining.alpha = 0; 
			while(1)
				{
					if(level.zombie_total != 0 )
					{
					Remaining.alpha = 1; 
					break;
					}
					wait 0.5;
				}
			}
		wait 0.5;
	}		
}

Well, first of all, this is not going to work anyway:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.zombie_total SetValue(level.zombie_total);

And yes, get_enemy_count() returns all living axis AI, which is most likely what you want, as zombie_total is decremented when an AI spawns. That means, zombie_total + get_enemy_count() gives the number of zombies yet to spawn in this round plus the number of zombies currently alive, which is, in total, the number of zombies remaining to be killed this round.

Either your authorship needs to be proven or the original author needs to be credited before this can be moved to the tutorials section.
