How do I define a global variable that applies to only one player (whether they have a certain attribute or not)? Say I have this code:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
flag_wait("all_players_connected");
players = get_players();
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
{
level.players[i].hasability = 0;
players[i] thread give_ability();
}
}
give_ability()
{
self.hasability = 1;
}

Would the correct syntax be::

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.self.hasability

, or

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.hasability

, or something else, or is this not possible?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Player variables are

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self. 
or 
GetPlayers()[Num].

In your case of

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.players[i].hasability

should be

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players[i].hasability

But the

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.hasability = 1;

is correct
level variables like

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.

is for the entire game.

Are player variable inherently global, or do they need to be globalized by

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.

? Because I want to use the player variable in various different scripts.

level. and self. can be used in any gsc but with self. they will only work to that specific entity.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self

is not a player variable, it's the entity that's been called by the function.

Here's an empty stock script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#include maps\_loadout;

init()
{
	level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
	for(;;)
	{
		level waittill( "connecting", player );
		//I suggest placing variables here rather on oPS as in here it'll only be set once.
		player thread onPlayerSpawned();
	}
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
	self endon( "disconnect" );

	for(;;)
	{
		self waittill( "spawned_player" );
		//whatever you want to set on player whenever they spawn EVERY TIME can be placed here.
	}
}
