Hi modders,

I just want to make a custom HC mod with some WWII weapons and with other little modifications. I already wrote everything, but the last component caught me. That is the welcome message. I have the script of the message, but i don't know where and how I had to call the script. Can somebody write me an opener command?
Thank you your helping!

Regards, Stanley.


P.S.:

Here is my welcome message script. The file's name is _stanley_koszonto.gsc

main()
{
delay = 30;
for(;;) {

level waittill("connected", player);
wait (7.0);
player thread welc_issue(.5, "Üdv a szerveren" + player.name + ".");
wait (5.0);
player thread welc_issue(.5, "Jó szórakozást!");
}
}

welc_issue(delay, welc)
{
self endon("intermission");
self endon("disconnect");
self endon("killthreads");
self endon("game_ended");

wait(delay);

notifyData = spawnStruct();
notifyData.notifyText = welc;
notifyData.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
notifyData.duration = level.welcomeduration;

notifyData.sort = 5;
notifyData.hideWhenInMenu = true;
self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
}

Don't run messages on a player while they are connecting - they wont see them. Always run them on a player once they've spawned.

main()
{
	
	level.welcomeduration = 4.0;
	
	level thread onPlayerConnect();

}

onPlayerConnect()
{
	for(;;) 
	{

		level waittill( "connected", player );
		
		player.messageDone = undefined;
		
		player thread onPlayerSpawned();
	}
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "spawned_player" );
		
		self thread player thread welc_issue( "Üdv a szerveren" + player.name + ".", "Jó szórakozást!" );
	}
}

welc_issue( welc1, welc2 )
{
	if( isDefined( self.messageDone ) )
		return;
		
	self.messageDone = true;
	
	self endon( "intermission" );
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	self endon( "killthreads" );
	self endon( "game_ended" );

	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.notifyText = welc;
	notifyData.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
	notifyData.duration = level.welcomeduration;

	notifyData.sort = 5;
	notifyData.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
	
	wait( 2 );
	
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.notifyText = welc2;
	notifyData.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
	notifyData.duration = level.welcomeduration;

	notifyData.sort = 5;
	notifyData.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
} 

And inwhich file I had to call these script?

In maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::Callback_StartGametype();

Put it where most of the other GSC files are threaded from. You will see a whole bunch of them there. Just thread your custom GSC (_stanley_koszonto.gsc) from there.

Example:

	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_persistence::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_menus::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_serversettings::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_clientids::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_scoreboard::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_killcam::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_shellshock::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_deathicons::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_damagefeedback::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_healthoverlay::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_spectating::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_objpoints::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_gameobjects::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_spawnlogic::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_oldschool::init();
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_battlechatter_mp::init();
	
	//=================================================
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_stanley_koszonto::main();
	//==================================================

Ahh, I understood. Thank you for your heliping! I owe you one!

Hi, Stanley.

I tried the mod in my server, but it isn't want to start, because the server isn't like this line: self thread player thread welc_issue( "Üdv a szerveren" + player.name + ".", "Jó szórakozást!" );

Edit the line then:

self thread welc_issue( "Üdv a szerveren" + player.name + ".", "Jó szórakozást!" );

It isn't works yet. These line is the gulity again.

main()
{
	
	level.welcomeduration = 4.0;
	
	level thread onPlayerConnect();

}

onPlayerConnect()
{
	for(;;) 
	{

		level waittill( "connected", player );
		
		player.messageDone = undefined;
		
		player thread onPlayerSpawned();
	}
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "spawned_player" );
		
		self thread thread welc_issue( "Üdv a szerveren" + self.name + ".", "Jó szórakozást!" );
	}
}

welc_issue( welc1, welc2 )
{
	if( isDefined( self.messageDone ) )
		return;
		
	self.messageDone = true;
	
	self endon( "intermission" );
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	self endon( "killthreads" );
	self endon( "game_ended" );

	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.notifyText = welc;
	notifyData.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
	notifyData.duration = level.welcomeduration;

	notifyData.sort = 5;
	notifyData.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
	
	wait( 2 );
	
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.notifyText = welc2;
	notifyData.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
	notifyData.duration = level.welcomeduration;

	notifyData.sort = 5;
	notifyData.hideWhenInMenu = true;
	self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
} 

It works with some little modifications.

self thread thread welc_issue( "Üdv a szerveren" + self.name + ".", "Jó szórakozást!" );

There was an extra thread, i deleted.

And here was unknown variable. I wrote the welc to welc1, and it works!

notifyData.notifyText = welc;

Thank you for your help again!

Stanley
