Modification Help / Re: Score saver help

« on: August 08, 2012, 01:40:46 PM »

First, you should probably check %killer's score on death that way they're kicked for freekilling, not freekilling then dying.

As for your actual problem,

Code: [Select]

function GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame(%client)
{
   Parent::onClientLeaveGame(%client);
   %client.savScore(%client);
}

You're basically saying "Leave the game, then save their score." which, if you think about it, doesn't make any sense. The client will be gone by the time it saves their score. Switch the order of the two calls inside there and it should work.

You should also use %client.setScore($ss::client[%id]); in the gameConnection::loadScore function.

Yay, it works. It doesn't work all of the time, but it works more than it doesn't

That's because not all servers have posted an image to the master server.

^ That's cool as stuff

That's awesome

If you ever finish that, let me add a location feature.

Am I the only person besides Plornt that has already thought of this? I had one that would fill the background of the server list with the image of the server you have clicked way back when the feature came out.

BrickGroup_12345.add(%brick);

BrickGroups are SimGroups, which automatically remove objects from all other SimGroups when added to a different one.

I don't understand this. Like, who with an IQ over 70 wouldn't think to themselves, "If a language could be learned in 10 days, why don't translators speak every language?"

I also wonder who's idea it was to plaster this all over so many websites. "Let's pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise with a message that doesn't only say 'you are an imbecile' but also has no value to anyone because even those who are stupid enough to click it will quickly figure out that we lied to them (which, by the way, is illegal) so that we may collect more views on the gaudy view counter every third grader's DreamWeaver site has plastered on every header and footer."

That is exactly what it is like.

No, that is nothing like how tectonic pressure works. Aftershocks are caused by increased pressure in other areas due to the shifting of a plate, causing more earthquakes. Pressure also doesn't instantly expel from faults, it takes time for it to happen. Even if aftershocks did come quickly after earthquakes, it would be nothing like a tub of water and the bouncing of a wave.

We had a 7.1 earthquake in September 2010 that was 10km deep (6 miles) occur at 4 AM. That then set off a nearby fault under the city in 2011, causing a 6.3 quake under the city during lunch that was 5km deep (3 miles) and destroyed hundreds of buildings and killed a couple hundred people.

2010 -> 2011. Not the same day. His worries are unneeded.

We have had several thousand earthquakes since 2010 of between 2.0 and 6.0 magnitude, all very shallow.

You live in New Zealand, not Southern California. Your rift configuration is very different from ours.

I would suggest that a quake of 4.4 that wasn't near your house is nothing to lose sleep over. If you live in California which I think someone mentioned earlier, you should be used to stuff like that. Unless your house is roaring and you are being tossed side to side with your furniture, you have nothing to worry about lol.

Basically my point.

It's actually very common for there to be "aftershocks" which can easily do as much damage overall as the first shock. It's also an uncommon event. My town has had flooding and a tornado and we still talk about those.

I'm aware that aftershocks happen, but they are very rarely more powerful than the actual earthquake, and since this earthquake was so weak (the OP mentions 40 mins away, presumably driving, in CA an average highway speed is probably 70mph, so 47 miles away and he wasn't even positive it was an earthquake, this is a definite sign of a weak earthquake) the possibility of a magnitude earthquake that could actually cause damage to his area is ridiculously small. I'd calculate it for you but it's 3:45AM here and I am sleepy.

Has there ever been a pro-bullying campaign? I think I might start one later.

Apparently people are so hyped up over a 4.4 magnitude earthquake that they are seriously compelled to tell everybody they know that it just happened.

Also, why would you worry about an earthquake after it happened? It's not like a tub where the shockwave will hit the edge and come back and hit you a second time, if you're unhurt then goody go on with life.


On topic: I can't wait for the "big one" that's supposedly coming within the next 20 years. I can't wait to see half of LA fall on its side and stuff. Omg. It's like Cloverfield IRL.

He's deleted 23 keys that I owned personally, at least 8 of Robo Noob's, 2 of HPRC's, 6 of Beachbum's, and like 2 other peoples' keys. 8 of mine and the others listed were all deleted at once about 2 years ago, and then a few weeks ago he deleted 15 of my keys.

To get your key revoked for bad behavior you have to be literally the worst person in the entire game.

Look what I just made out of interest..



For someone that sucks at math like me, I'm proud I actually managed this. forget you, trigonometry.


If this is something like what you're making, you can look at my code here (with the player position finder removed, Badspot has removed too many ways of getting that already..)
