im trying to make plugin with checkpoints per map, saved in .ini file ect...but i need help, how to determine what exactly position/checkpoint (model) has player touched ? I mean, the present code is working: if players touches first checkpoint he will get printed message for ALL these checkpoints on the map, which is the problem...here is the code...i dont have idea how to code that thing :s

PHP Code:

register_touch("cp_ent", "player", "touched1") 

...making entity cp_ent...

public touched1( ent, id )
{
    for( new i=0; i < cp_count; i++ )//probably this is wrong, but what better to use ? :/
    {
        entity_get_string(ent, EV_SZ_targetname, targetName, charsmax(targetName));
        if( containi( targetName, cp_ents[i] ))
        {
            if( !run_run[i+1] )
            {
                run_run[i+1]=true
                Time_igrac = get_gametime() - cp_time[id][i]
                
                client_print( id, print_chat, "You touched: %i; time: %.02f (FILE: %.02f)", i+1, Time_igrac, official_time[1][cp_count+1] )

            }
        }
        //break;
    }
}

Get the origin.

Engine:

entity_get_vector( iEnt, EV_VEC_origin, fOrigins );

or fakemeta

pev( iEnt, pev_origin, fOrigins );

[JocAnis]

that will be the pain in the as* cuz it has to load origins from file + check which one is from the list...i meant if theres any simpler solution

[maqi]

The only way to determine someones position is the origins, but why would that be a pain ? I can't think of anything that's complex about it.

Let us know if you need any help once you establish the basic code, happy to help

[JocAnis]

i missunderstood. getting the players origin isnt the problem, but with what to 'compare' their origin, when all entities (checkpoints) have the same entity_name, they are different only with cp_count :/

[maqi]

Compare it with the entity origin then, im not 100% sure what you are trying to achieve, so let me know if i got something wrong

[JocAnis]

that will change the whole structure of the code...ill see what to do, thanks anyway

When creating your checkpoints entities add some extra information in iuser1/2/3/4, for example inside your for loop:

PHP Code:

set_pev(ent, pev_iuser1, i); 


Then in your touch forward use pev(ent, pev_iuser1) to get that data.

@shauli, thanks for help, but Kushfield helped me and its fixed now...so it went from:

if( containi( targetName, cp_ents[i] ))

to just

if(cp_ents[i-1] == ent)

That's fine but it's not really necessary, iuser/fuser/vuser exists exactly for the stuff you're trying to do, it will be easier to use it. You don't need a for loop, it will be like this:

PHP Code:

public touched1( ent, id ) 
{ 
    new cp = pev(ent, pev_iuser1);

     if( !run_run[cp] ) //or cp+1, you decide 
     { 
          run_run[cp]=true 
          Time_igrac = get_gametime() - cp_time[id][i] 
                 
          client_print( id, print_chat, "You touched: %i; time: %.02f (FILE: %.02f)", cp, Time_igrac, official_time[1][cp_count+1] ) 

     } 
}
