Not sure why this script isn't working.

Code: [Select]

package print
{
function test(%client) {

commandToClient(%client,'centerPrint',"Is the message still up? ",-1);
}

function gameConnection::onClientEnterGame(%client) {

test(%client);
Parent::onClientEnterGame(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(print);

I really don't know how you display the message for -1 seconds

[tyler0]

lol it holds it on the screen

I'm guessing it schedules it, but -1 seconds ago wouldn't be reached.

what? It's not scheduling it? Just say that it will disappear in -1 milisecs. Right?

It schedules for something to happen in the past, so that something will never happen.
It won't disappear.

Code: [Select]

package print
{

function loop(%client) {

commandToClient(%client,'centerPrint',"Is the message still up? ",1000);
}

function gameConnection::onClientEnterGame(%client) {

loop(%client);
Parent::onClientEnterGame(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(print);
Still :/ nothing is showing up

[Red_Guy]

try some echo() statements.
and mabye trace ?


also - centerPrint and bottomprint with a -1 means to leave the text up forever.

is oncliententergame called when the player spawns or when the player first joins the server? bottomprint and centerprint do not work until a player is spawned.

Spawns.

function test(%client) {

commandToClient(%client,'centerPrint',"Is the message still up? ", -1);
}

package print {

function gameConnection::onClientEnterGame(%client) {

parent::onClientEnterGame(%client);
test(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(print);
The parent needs to be called first so the player spawns first, and the min/max duration of a centerPrint is from -1 to 999, I believe.

[Red_Guy]

You still need to wait for the player to spawn before you can send centerPrint.

Otherwise, nothing will work right.
