Fast typing event

[floatman]

Description:
Every x seconds (x is a CVAR), the plugin is creating a new set of random chars and prints it as a hud message. The player who types first these chars is rewarded with an amount of money (CVAR). The array which stores the set is being cleared after x secs after the message is printed (x is a CVAR).

Cvars:
fastev_responsetime (default: 20.0)
fastev_moneyprize (default: 5000)
fastev_repeattime (default: 120.0)
fastev_randomamount (default: 1)
fastev_randommin (default: 500)
fastev_randommax (default: 5000)
fastev_hudtime (default: 25.0)

Note: if you have the fastev_randomamount CVAR set to 1, the fastev_moneyprize will be ignored.

Modules:
cstrike
nvault (3.0 -)

Make it random so that the letters are shown from 30 seconds before to 30 seconds after the time set in the CVAR.

[fysiks]

There is a lot of excessive code.
Characters are not entirely random.
There is a much better way to do this if you want random characters in the code string.

[YamiKaitou]

A few improvements

public clear_vars()

for( new i = 0; i < 500; i++ )
g_Codename[ i ] = EOS;

for( new j = 0; j < 10; j++ )
{
for(new k = 0; k < 2; k++)
{
g_Total[ k ][ j ] = EOS;
}
}

g_On = 0;
}
->
public clear_vars()
{
arrayset(g_Codename, EOS, sizeof(g_Codename));

new j = sizeof(g_Total);
for (new k = 0; k < j; k++)
arrayset(g_Total, EOS, sizeof(g_Total[k]));

g_On = 0;
}

public plugin_init()
{
new Float:time = get_pcvar_float( g_RepTime );

set_task( time, "create", _, _, _, "b" );
}
->
public plugin_cfg()
{
set_task( get_pcvar_float( g_RepTime ), "create", _, _, _, "b" );
}

Do Not Hardcode your lengths, use charsmax (http://hg.alliedmods.net/amxmodx-central/file/tip/plugins/include/string.inc#l14) for strings and sizeof for loops

Most, if not all, of your 2D arrays have no point being 2D, make them 1D

new g_Codename[ 500 ];
->
new g_Codename[ 20 ];

Use formatex (http://hg.alliedmods.net/amxmodx-central/file/tip/plugins/include/string.inc#l41) instead of format (http://hg.alliedmods.net/amxmodx-central/file/tip/plugins/include/string.inc#l31)

[lucas_7_94]

@Yami , array_set doesnt exist , i think you mean arrayset.

[fysiks]

@Yami , array_set doesnt exist , i think you mean arrayset.

That's ok because g_Total should not exist anyways and therefore there will be no need for arrayset().

[lucas_7_94]

I mean array_set doesnt exists.

[fysiks]

You already said that once. I can read.

[lucas_7_94]

My bad , sorry i translate your post bad , sorry.

[YamiKaitou]

Opps, fixed

That's ok because g_Total should not exist anyways and therefore there will be no need for arrayset().
I use it twice. But I agree about g_Total

[fysiks]

I use it twice. But I agree about g_Total

The other one (for g_Codename) will not be needed when you fix that to be a single array instead of a multidimensional array.

[YamiKaitou]

g_Codename is a 1D array. Maybe I'm lost as to what you are suggesting.

[fysiks]

g_Codename is a 1D array. Maybe I'm lost as to what you are suggesting.

Oops, your right, I was thinking I remembered another useless multidimensional array (Oh, found it, it's "Message"), my bad lol.

So, what I meant to say, to get rid of all arrayset()'s, is that because it's a string, you simply need to assign the 0th element to the value EOS to effectively "clear" it (as long as you never reference individual characters with non-string methods).

[floatman]

Thank you all for your support. Updated to 2.0 version.

[floatman]

Updated to 2.2. A new restriction system has been implemented. Basically, it creates a file in the /configs/ folder. If you're trying to unrestrict the player, the plugin will automatically add a semicolon in front of the players' name in that file (fastev_restrictedusers.ini).

Any sugestions that will improve the plugin are welcomed.

[mabaclu]

You want me to extend the holdtime of the hud message?

No, to make the time when the letters are shown a bit more random.

[floatman]

No, to make the time when the letters are shown a bit more random.
I will consider that in the next version.

[fysiks]

You shouldn't be reading the file more than once during the whole map. It is currently EXTREMELY inefficient. Consider using a Trie to cache the "blocked" status. Also, use only SteamIDs.

Will do.

[sonel]

Can you add custom words?

[quilhos]

You can do for example a .ini file where people put words and that words will be used into event :)

[fysiks]

You can do for example a .ini file where people put words and that words will be used into event :)

What event?

[YamiKaitou]

Why are you still saving get_pcvar_float to a variable and then using that variable only once?

[fysiks]

Also, you shouldn't use "time" as a variable since it is a function.

[lucas_7_94]

Also , use Steamids , its a poor method detect with name.

[BeasT]

Consider using dhud or update the msg every 0.1 or so seconds, because now, the hud is overwritten by other plugin hud msgs.

[quilhos]

What event?

"Fast typing event"

[Merciless]

for( new j = 0; j < sizeof g_Codename - 1; j++ )


->


new iLen = sizeof g_Codename - 1
for( new j = 0; j < iLen; j++ )

[fysiks]

for( new j = 0; j < sizeof g_Codename - 1; j++ )


->


new iLen = sizeof g_Codename - 1
for( new j = 0; j < iLen; j++ )


This is likely a negligible improvement (if an improvement at all). Also, charsmax() should be used instead of sizeof()-1 for readability.

[floatman]

for( new j = 0; j < sizeof g_Codename - 1; j++ )
->


new iLen = sizeof g_Codename - 1
for( new j = 0; j < iLen; j++ )

Kind of useless improvement...

Will consider all of your ideas for the new version.

I made a update so this can work with CashMod (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=137503&highlight=CashMod).

Edit: Can you make a CVAR to remove the Signs.

Some of them is impossible to remember and how to make them and the message comes every 5 seconds you should add a cvar for that.

[floatman]

Translations were added. Thanks!
Groven, you want to restrict some of the symbols?
Also, the plugin works just fine. I don't know what do you mean by every 5 seconds.

A new update will be available soon (with major improvements).

[P1raten]

Edit your first post, before post a new one xD, maybe people get confused. I'm asking what you did different xb
You're so clever. :D

What I did was I made a new boolean, and set it to true. Then I check later in the code whether or not it has been set and if it has then I choose a random number between 100 and 5000 which becomes the prize money.

It's hardcoded at the moment.

Lemmi edit some posts and I'll remove the hardcoded part and redirect people to this post.

EDIT: Updated with a new version of the changes I made.

Changes:
The random prize feature is no longer hardcoded.
The above now has a cvar: fevent_rand_prize
Default for the cvar is "1". (Enabled)

Btw, why you talk about name restriction, when this is steamid that is restricted ?
Also, you could use directly steamid as nvault key, since that vault doesn't contain any other datas.
Last, i think now '%' is usable ;)

[Jhob94]

Well i didnt tested this plugin/looked at the code so idk if my suggestion is on plugin.
Make it 5 seconds before start type an HUD or print_center/print_chat saying that type event gonna start, i think is better ;)

Setting ML this way won't work, i guess it gonna use server lang by default, you can directly format in ShowSyncHudMsg though, and ML gonna work fine in there.


Aboult nvault, i think would be better to use a more specific name, considering "restriction" could be used by another plugin or is not self explaning if someone browse ftp files and delete it, or whatever, but your decision.


I think it would be better to set an index to one of the tasks, i remember JGHG knife duel plugin where there is same situation as in this plugin, a repeat task, then another set task with low time, and the looping message task was then flooded.
