Hello, I've been trying for two days to figure this out and still can't so I'm hoping somebody here might be able to direct me.

I'm trying to store points for each client that go up each round, similar to Vs Saxton Hale but not stored as a cookie (So it resets when the map changes).

So far I've come up with having an array variable just called points, declared as

new points[32];

And then I've hooked onto the event "arena_round_start", which adds up everybody's points by one each round like this.

        for(new i = 1; i <= GetClientCount(); i++) {
                if(IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i)) {
                        points[i]++;
                }
        }

The problem is when I try setting stuff depending on who has the most points, I feel like it's doing it randomly and not actually on the value of the points.

Am I doing this completely wrong?

Theres nothing glaringly obvious to me in your code and you haven't given much details, but if you really want to find out whats going on I suggest doing some debug prints to see whats happening.

e.g. just underneath points[i]++ add:
PrintToChatAll( "Gave %N a point!", i );

PHP Code:


new points[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) 


Basic sourcemod.

nice basically mixing syntaxes

int g_iClientPoints[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

The main issue with the code in the OP is that the conditional within the for loop was using GetClientCount().

Used player indexes aren't guaranteed to be contiguous. If 6 players join an empty server, then those players would be in slots 1-6. If the player in slot 4 disconnected, then the used slots would be 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6.

So let's say that your server has 24 slots, and only 17 people are connected. This is what your code would be doing:

Well thanks I didn't even realise there was a MaxClients value, also ddhoward I was thinking perhaps that was the case. Thank you too.

The points seem to be working, now I just got to finish the sorting bit.
