Hi,

Could someone show me how to do a voting system for lets say restarting the server? (server_cmd quit).
Im trying to get a voting system to work last time I did it crashed the server.
is there something I should know about outdated methods? or am I just doing it wrong?

new g_vote[33] // 1=yes 2 = no

public client_disconnect(id)
{
g_vote[id]=0
}
public makevote()
{
//make the menu or whatever
}
public votehandler(id)
{
//cache player's votes in g_vote
}
public task_checkresults()//create a task when the vote is made for when it's over to call this
{
new count1, count2
new iPlayers[ 32 ], iNum;
    get_players( iPlayers, iNum);
    
    new iPlayer;
    
    for( new i = 0; i < iNum; i++ )
    {
        iPlayer = iPlayers[ i ];
if(g_vote[iPlayer]==1)
count1++
else if(g_vote[iPlayer]==2)
count2++
        }
//this part depends on how you want to count the votes, and requires math
//here's a basic one
if(count1>count2)
{
yes
}
else if(count1==count2)
{
tie
}
else
{
no
}
}

vampa, show us the code.

[vamppa]

Can someone give me a working sample which I can work with?
It is easier for me to learn that way.

Heres the previous code.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <amxmisc>

new gVotes[2];

public Voteeh(id)
{
    gVoteMenu = menu_create("vote: Server restart", "menu_handler");
    menu_additem(gVoteMenu, "Yes", "0", 0);
    menu_additem(gVoteMenu, "No", "1", 0);
    
    menu_display(id, gVoteMenu, 0);
    
    set_task(10.0, "EndVote",id);
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public menu_handler(id, menu, item)
{
    if( item == MENU_EXIT )
    {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }
    
    new data[6], iName[64];
    new access, callback;
    menu_item_getinfo(menu, item, access, data,5, iName, 63, callback);
    
    new voteid = str_to_num(data);
    
    gVotes[voteid]++;
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public client_disconnect(id) 
{ 
      g_gVotes[id] = 0 
}
public EndVote(id)
{
    if( gVotes[0] > gVotes[1] )
    {
    server_cmd("quit")
    client_print(0,print_chat, "Vote succeeded server restart");
    }
    
    menu_destroy(gVoteMenu);

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

wait, you said your initial code crashes the server
are you aware that it's what it's intended to do?
server_cmd("quit") this closes the HLDS process entirely, just like you would type quit in your console, it doesn't restart the server


are you sure it's crashing and it's not a misunderstanding?

[vamppa]

yeah infact initial code does something different im using shut down aka quit as an easy example.
Im just looking to get the voting system to work seeing im not familiar with it.
Likely initial function was causing a crash yet the voting didnt work as suppose too neither, in another example the menu did not destroy itself after voting.
found this going to see what I can do with it, am getting brain fucks.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

//This will hold the VoteMenu
new gVoteMenu;
//This will hold the votes for each option
new gVotes[2];
 //This determines if a vote is already happening
new gVoting;
 
public plugin_init()
{
    //Register a way to get to your vote...
    register_clcmd( "start_vote","StartVote" );
}
public StartVote( id )
{
    //If there is already a vote, don't start another
    if ( gVoting )
    {
        client_print( id, print_chat, "There is already a vote going." );
        //We return PLUGIN_HANDLED so the person does not get Unknown Command in console
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }
    //Reset vote counts from any previous votes
    gVotes[0] = gVotes[1] = 0;
    //Note that if you have more than 2 options, it would be better to use the line below:
    //arrayset( gVotes, 0, sizeof gVotes );

    //Store the menu in the global
    gVoteMenu = menu_create( "\rLook at this Vote Menu!:", "menu_handler" );

    //Add some vote options
    menu_additem( gVoteMenu, "Vote Option 1", "", 0 );
    menu_additem( gVoteMenu, "Vote Option 2", "", 0 );

    //We will need to create some variables so we can loop through all the players
    new players[32], pnum, tempid;

    //Fill players with available players
    get_players( players, pnum );

    //Start looping through all players to show the vote to
    for ( new i; i < pnum; i++ )
    {
        //Save a tempid so we do not re-index
        tempid = players[i];

        //Show the vote to this player
        menu_display( tempid, gVoteMenu, 0 );

        //Increase how many players are voting
        gVoting++;
    }

    //End the vote in 10 seconds
    set_task(10.0, "EndVote" );

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public menu_handler( id, menu, item )
 {
    //If the menu was exited or if there is not a vote
    if ( item == MENU_EXIT || !gVoting )
    {
        //Note were not destroying the menu
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }

    //Increase the votes for what they selected
    gVotes[ item ]++;

    //Note were not destroying the menu
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public EndVote()
{
    //If the first option recieved the most votes
    if ( gVotes[0] > gVotes[1] )
        client_print(0, print_chat, "First option recieved most votes (%d )", gVotes[0] );

    //Else if the second option recieved the most votes
    else if ( gVotes[0] < gVotes[1] )
        client_print(0, print_chat, "Second option recieved most votes (%d )", gVotes[1] );

    //Otherwise the vote tied
    else
        client_print(0, print_chat, "The vote tied at %d votes each.", gVotes[0] );

    //Don't forget to destroy the menu now that we are completely done with it
    menu_destroy( gVoteMenu );

    //Reset that no players are voting
    gVoting = 0;
} 


[vamppa]

Ok got it working.
Is it possible to change the color of the menu? or use hud message instead?

[vamppa]

also

PHP Code:

menu_destroy( gVoteMenu ); 


does not work. pressing slot1 or slot2 does close the menu.
Is there an alternative way to close it?

[YamiKaitou]

menu_destroy is not meant to close the menu, just invalidate the handle. If you want to forcibly close the menu (ie, make it disappear from their screen), display another blank menu over it

[vamppa]

Ok sweet thanks.

How about changing its color is that possible?
Another question if im going to make lets say 3 different votes, would I have to duplicate

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

//This will hold the VoteMenu
new gVoteMenu;
//This will hold the votes for each option
new gVotes[2];
 //This determines if a vote is already happening
new gVoting;
 
public plugin_init()
{
    //Register a way to get to your vote...
    register_clcmd( "start_vote","StartVote" );
}
public StartVote( id )
{
    //If there is already a vote, don't start another
    if ( gVoting )
    {
        client_print( id, print_chat, "There is already a vote going." );
        //We return PLUGIN_HANDLED so the person does not get Unknown Command in console
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }
    //Reset vote counts from any previous votes
    gVotes[0] = gVotes[1] = 0;
    //Note that if you have more than 2 options, it would be better to use the line below:
    //arrayset( gVotes, 0, sizeof gVotes );

    //Store the menu in the global
    gVoteMenu = menu_create( "\rLook at this Vote Menu!:", "menu_handler" );

    //Add some vote options
    menu_additem( gVoteMenu, "Vote Option 1", "", 0 );
    menu_additem( gVoteMenu, "Vote Option 2", "", 0 );

    //We will need to create some variables so we can loop through all the players
    new players[32], pnum, tempid;

    //Fill players with available players
    get_players( players, pnum );

    //Start looping through all players to show the vote to
    for ( new i; i < pnum; i++ )
    {
        //Save a tempid so we do not re-index
        tempid = players[i];

        //Show the vote to this player
        menu_display( tempid, gVoteMenu, 0 );

        //Increase how many players are voting
        gVoting++;
    }

    //End the vote in 10 seconds
    set_task(10.0, "EndVote" );

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public menu_handler( id, menu, item )
 {
    //If the menu was exited or if there is not a vote
    if ( item == MENU_EXIT || !gVoting )
    {
        //Note were not destroying the menu
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }

    //Increase the votes for what they selected
    gVotes[ item ]++;

    //Note were not destroying the menu
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public EndVote()
{
    //If the first option recieved the most votes
    if ( gVotes[0] > gVotes[1] )
        client_print(0, print_chat, "First option recieved most votes (%d )", gVotes[0] );

    //Else if the second option recieved the most votes
    else if ( gVotes[0] < gVotes[1] )
        client_print(0, print_chat, "Second option recieved most votes (%d )", gVotes[1] );

    //Otherwise the vote tied
    else
        client_print(0, print_chat, "The vote tied at %d votes each.", gVotes[0] );

    //Don't forget to destroy the menu now that we are completely done with it
    menu_destroy( gVoteMenu );

    //Reset that no players are voting
    gVoting = 0;
} 


most of that or is there an more efficient way?
