Can anyone explain to me how i can do the following?

I have about 20 cases with different type of victims, and i would like to save the desired text i want to display for each specific case then insert it into a hud message

PHP Code:


fw_PlayerKilled(victim, attacker)
{
        if(leader_human(victim))
        {
                save "Last Kill: get_pcvar_num(cvar_numer_points_last) Points" text in a variable/array
        else if(last_human(victim))
        {
                save "Last Kill: get_pcvar_num(cvar_numer_points_last Points" text in a variable/array
        }
        set_hudmessage(bla bla)
        show_hudmessage(attacker, "%s", text from above cases)
}

I don't understand what you're trying to do, can you try to explain better? Maybe give some examples.

Ok, i will try to explain again

I want to send a hud message to the attacker when he killed a player, but i want the message to be different depending on the case, following the next example

PHP Code:


public fw_PlayerKilled(victim, attacker)
{
         new g_mesage
         if(is_user_last_human(victim))
         {
                   g_message = "You killed the Last Human, You were awarded get_pcvar_num(cvar_last_human_reward) points"
         }
         else if(is_user_first_kill(victim))
         { 
                 g_message = "You killed the bla bla, awarded bla bla cvar points"
         } 
          set_hudmessage(255,0,0, ...............)
          show_hudmessage(attacker, "%s", g_message")
}

You may need to do what you are already doing. The if checking will stop when it hits a true condition so if there's a chance of a player having more than 1 condition, put them in the order of priority.

PHP Code:

if ( is_this( id ) )
   copy( szMsg , charsmax( szMsg ) , "You did this" );
else if ( is_this_instead( id ) )
   copy( szMsg , charsmax( szMsg ) , "You did this instead" );

So i should make a global variable szMsg? and what about fomat? do i have to use it aswell?
Can you give me a more concrete example please?

PHP Code:

enum KillStatus
{
    LeaderHuman,
    LastHuman,
    ThisInstead2,
    ThisInstead3
}

new const KillStatusMsg[ KillStatus ][] =  
{
    "Leader human msg",
    "Last human msg",
    "This instead 2",
    "This instead 3"
};

public Killed( id )
{
    new KillStatus:ksStatus;
    
    if ( is_leader_human( id ) ) ksStatus = LeaderHuman;
    else if ( is_last_human( id ) ) ksStatus = LastHuman;
    else if ( is_this_instead2( id ) ) ksStatus = ThisInstead2;
    else if ( is_this_instead3( id ) ) ksStatus = ThisInstead3;

    show_hudmessage( id , KillStatusMsg[ ksStatus ] );
}

Nice, but could you explain to me one thing please ?

This line, how does it work? what ":" stands for in this case

PHP Code:

new KillStatus:ksStatus; 


And how can i add a cvar value into the text?

I created an enumerator (KillStatus) to define items (LeaderHuman,LastHuman,ThisInstead2,ThisInste ad3). Defining a variable with this tag will make it expect to hold only one of the items that I defined under that type/tag. Technically there is no change in the data, but the compiler will throw a warning if you try to place data other than the defined type in the variable.

So if you did:
ksStatus = ThisInstead3
you will have no issues/warnings
but if you did:
ksStatus = 3
you would get warning. Even though ThisInstead3 equals 3 as defined in the enumerator, it will give you a warning. If you ever have a need to do this and want to not get a warning, you can tag it like this:
ksStatus = KillStatus: 3

I think someone wrote a tut on enumerators/types in the tuts section.

I understood now, thanks

But, how can i add a cvar value into the text? also the cvar value would be different for each case...
