I created a little script that filters what perks the player has based on a input array(specialties). The script is intended for stock perks but you can add whatever you want to the array and it should work just fine.

Script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

watch_player_perks()
{
	perks = [];
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_armorvest";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_quickrevive";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_rof";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_fastreload";


	while(1)
	{
		for(i = 0; i < perks.size; i++)
		{	
			// iprintln("found perks" + perks[i]);

			players = get_players();
			for(k = 0; k < players.size; k++)
			{
				if(players[k] hasperk(perks[i]) )
				{
 
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_armorvest")
					{
						players[k].has_jug = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_quickrevive")
					{
						players[k].has_revive = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_rof")
					{
						players[k].has_rof = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_fastreload")
					{
						players[k].has_reload = true;
					}
 
					// players[k] iprintln("You have perks:" + perks[i]);
				}
			}
		}
	wait(.1);
	}
}

How to add a new perk:

Spoiler: click to open...

Firstly you need to get the actual(technical) perk name that the same uses. Once you have that all you need to do is add a new value to the array like So:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	perks = [];
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_armorvest";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_quickrevive";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_rof";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_fastreload";
	perks[perks.size] = "NEW_PERK_HERE";

Once you have that you need to create a if statement to "catch" the perk after its filtered by hasperk() like so:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

 
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_armorvest")
					{
						players[k].has_jug = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_quickrevive" && players.size == 1)
					{
						players[k].has_revive = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_rof")
					{
						players[k].has_rof = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_fastreload")
					{
						players[k].has_reload = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "NEW_PERK_HERE")
					{
						players[k].has_reload = true;
					}

If done correctly then the affect defined in the if statement should now init when the player has the perks.

Example of a working affect using this function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

watch_player_perks()
{
	perks = [];
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_armorvest";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_quickrevive";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_rof";
	perks[perks.size] = "specialty_fastreload";


	while(1)
	{
		for(i = 0; i < perks.size; i++)
		{	
			// iprintln("found perks" + perks[i]);

			players = get_players();
			for(k = 0; k < players.size; k++)
			{
				if(players[k] hasperk(perks[i]) )
				{
 
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_armorvest")
					{
						players[k].has_jug = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_quickrevive" && players.size == 1)
					{
						players[k].has_revive = true;

						// wait(5);
						players[k] unsetperk(perks[i]);
						players[k] maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_hud_destroy( perks[i] );
						players[k] iprintln("Taking perk:" + perks[i]);
						players[k] iprintln("Reason: Quick Revive has no affect in Solo");
						players[k] maps\_zombiemode_score::add_to_player_score( 1000 );
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_rof")
					{
						players[k].has_rof = true;
					}
					if(perks[i] == "specialty_fastreload")
					{
						players[k].has_reload = true;
					}
 
					// players[k] iprintln("You have perks:" + perks[i]);
				}
			}
		}
	wait(.1);
	}
}

and thats it. Make sure to give credit if you use it. Comments, questions, suggestion's are all welcome. Just don't be an ass by making an "optimized" version unless its for personal use.

P.S. I wasn't sure if i should have made the players variable a level variable. If it should be then please tell me so i can change it ASAP.

Don't remember taking someone else's script and then modifying it while calling it my "optimized" version.

I didn't think it would either. I assumed that the .has_<perk> is persistent on the players[k] variable so that even if you where to create an entirely new function the value would still be set, which is why i'm asking.

I had thought about using self, but i figured it would be easier to keep everything in the function.

You tell people not to "optimize" your scripts and then you ask for help. That's the irony. The people who are editing your scripts are trying to help you write better scripts.

Oh i see. That wasn't exactly what i was getting at. I had meant for people not to 1-up me in a way that is rude or disrespectful. Of course suggestions, feedback, questions, etc are welcome.

I'll take care of it

				else players[k].currentPerks[perks[i]] = false;
			}
		}
		wait 0.1;
	}
}

Thats just a slightly more efficient way of doing it.

I could have done that or something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

				if(perks[i] == "specialty_fastreload" || perks[i] == "specialty_armorvest" || perks[i] == "specialty_quickrevive" || perks[i] =="specialty_rof")
					{
						players[k].has_ + perks[i] = true;
					}

(don't have time to actually test this to see if it works but you get the idea)

my version is a bit easier on the eyes & easier to follow.

This does not work.
