Title: Check if the player is either dead or downed?
Post by: Ege115 on July 29, 2014, 11:54:10 pm

What is the best way to check if the player is either downed or dead?
This is what I did a little quick, but I don't know if it's the best way.

total_dead_check()
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(self maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand() || self.dead == true || self.downed == true)
		{
			// Stuff when player is either downed or dead
		}
	wait .1;
	}
}

dead_check()
{
	while(1)
	{
		self.dead = false;
		self waittill("death");
		self.dead = true;
	wait .1;
	}
}

downed_check()
{
	while(1)
	{
		self.downed = false;
		self waittill("player_downed");
		self.downed = true;
	wait .1;
	}
}

Thanks in advance.

What I know is that the laststand downed function only works in coop.

for downed i would go with:

player maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand()

for dead:

!isalive(player)

This should do the trick. Is there something you are trying to accomplish? If there is something you would like to do for Solo and Co-Op. This would work for Co-Op and if you had Solo Revive.

CheckDowned()
{
	while( 1 )
	{
		if( self.sessionstate == "spectator" || IsDefined( self.revivetrigger ) )
		{
			// Code
		}
		wait .01;
	}
}

Hey sorry for taking so long, I tried this and the seesionstate didn't work if you would play solo, it would return as true.

But I tried to use the waittill anyway and it seems like it works. Thanks for the help. :)

total_down_check()
{
	while(1)
	{
		self.down = false;
		self waittill_any( "fake_death", "death", "player_downed" );
		self.down = true;
 
		if( self.down == true )
		{
			// code
		}
	wait .1;
	}
}

And I tried the IsAlive function but it didn't work for the player apparently.

if( isAlive(entity) || self.playerzombie_soundboard_disable )

<- that var is located in playerzombie_downed_state() _zombiemode and it checks if it's true automatically by the way.

Why isn't anyone referencing actual zombie scripts that check for downed players?... nearly every purchase trigger in zombiemode checks to make sure the player is not in last stand before going forward with the purchase.

laststand:

if(!player maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand()

dead:

if(!isAlive(player))

Edit: n123q45 already gave this answer, I would mark it as Best Answer so that you will stop getting additional suggestions. This code is the standard check for what you are asking.
