Re: [TF2] Halloween Gift Timer

Isn't there an event for someone finding an item? Couldn't you check if it's one of the halloween masks? Although I'm not aware if you can tell the difference between a present and a trade.

Looks like item_found does all those things

I know that the item isn't found right when the present is picked up, but it's gonna be the closest you'll get, so it's a good place to start.

Re: [TF2] Halloween Gift Timer

No not really. I've seen people not "find" the gift until many minutes later because they either have not died or as soon as they grab the gift they go AFK.

Re: [TF2] Halloween Gift Timer

asherkin Thanks so much, the plugin is now fully automatic! It also looks like gifts don't spawn during Setup they wait about 5 seconds or so and then they spawn.

Re: [TF2] Halloween Gift Timer

Couple things I changed in mine:

I added a mapcheck just so the timer isnt run if its not manor.

Code:

public OnMapStart()

{

    decl String:sMapname[128];

    GetCurrentMap(sMapname, sizeof(sMapname));

    //LogAction(0, -1, "Current Map Detected as: %s", sMapname);

    if(strcmp(sMapname, "cp_manor_event") == 0)

    {

    CreateTimer(1.0, ShowTimer, _, TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);

  }

}

I also took off the alive check in the callback so dead players can also see the present timer. I dont think theres a reason to prevent dead players from seeing the timer is there? I didnt think so.

Re: [TF2] Halloween Gift Timer

Would it be possible to have the timer pause if suddenly there are less than the required number of people? As it was on a friends server, someone disconnected for a very short time but came back, the ETA kept running, and the present appeared about the same time he was gone afterwards. If that makes sense. At least that's my theory on how the present drop system works.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 14:10.
