How can a coder find out if the user has other heroes ?

Like Poison Ivy is supposed to be immune to poisons. So I made a poison hero and I want it not to work on players that have Poison Ivy.

Re: How can a coder find out if the user has other heroes ?

You can check out Blade when i release it though it would require editing Poison Ivy which I have to re-edit for Longshot anyway. But it would be a simple check like the one i made for Blade checking for Dracula (though in Blade it may look a bit strange). Will post it soon enough.

However, with the module there is a check you can use currently:

Code:

//Check if user has this hero

//1. Player ID

//2. Hero ID

native sh_check_hero(id, heroID);

Re: How can a coder find out if the user has other heroes ?

I bear no interest in the module. I just wanna know how can I find what I need to know using get_user_info(). So, can anyone help ? xD

Re: How can a coder find out if the user has other heroes ?

In your poison ivy code you first have to set a user's info using set_user_info, like in this code in your hero_init:

Code:

//if the person has poison ivy's power
set_user_info(id, "POISON", "1")

//else if the person dropped poison ivy
set_user_info(id, "POISON", "0")

Then in your hero, when you have to retrieve the info, all you have to do is something similar to this:

Code:

new temp[7]
get_user_info(id, "POISON", temp, 6)
new isPoisonIvy = str_to_num(temp)
//This checks if the victim has been poisoned
if(isPoisonIvy == 1){
   //something happens
}
else if(isPoisonIvy == 0){
   //person isn't Poison Ivy, do something else instead
}

And yeah good to see you back.

No don't use set info, that's just bad... Should be removed from those others in favor of forwards.

Like I said before check Blade (and it's Dracula) - http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=30090
I gotta edit poison ivy at some point anyway.

Re: How can a coder find out if the user has other heroes ?

Thank you very much, I'm checking it right now. First time I thought you were referring to the get/set info thingie. I will make a modified Poison Ivy for this, if it's ok with you ... but first I gotta understand what a "forward" is.
