Nexuiz Classbased Mod Test Release

[Psychcf]

hmm svn bug...

@ Psychcf: give the soldiers infinite incinctble , the electroballs from the medic can heal when a teammate touch and the normal electro shot should look like the phaser and slows enemies down too, the grenades from the engineer...the secondary shot shouls just sink to ground with lifetime of 5min could be the mines ...the primary just can disarm the enemy's mines,
...

Well, I plan on making separate guns for all of those, just to keep everything maintainable.

Would guns work better for those roles than deployables?

today i played around in the engine and modded your mod
(made a new class, the god class xD unlimited ammo and good weapons:laser,shotgun, rl, nex, crifle and mortar and should get unlimited invincible and strength but the life should decrease every time and only if he make frags he get hp to stay alive and the class is chooseable in the limbo-menu)

...its only for myself to learn qc but i can give you the code if you want xD

but cant compile anymore:

Source file: progs.src
outputfile: ../../progs.dat
compiling ../common/util-pre.qh
compiling sys.qh
compiling pre-builtins.qh
compiling builtins.qh
compiling extensions.qh

in function cb_getmaxh (line 4),
classbased.qc:95: error: "" - not a name

************ ERROR ************
Errors have occured

Error in classbased.qc on line 95


there is nothing, what i can delete

found the problem:
false:

Code: Select all

{
   local string maxh = strcat("g_balance_classbased_", e.gamerole, "_health_stable");

   return cvar(maxh);


right:

Code: Select all

{
   local string maxh = strcat("g_balance_classbased_", e.gamerole, "_health_stable");

   return cvar(maxh);
}

i forgot the "}" at the end xD

Err wow, defining a variable this way defines a constant.

Why not simply use

Code: Select all

cvar(strcat("g_balance_classbased_", e.gamerole, "_health_stable")) ??

Else, what you want is to first declare the variable, then set it.

Code: Select all

local string maxh;
maxh = strcat("g_balance_classbased_", e.gamerole, "_health_stable");

(I have no idea what happens if you define a variable the way you did inside a function... Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Who knows )

I just felt like that would make it hard to read, so I made a local variable to put the name of the maxh cvar in, so I can break it up into several lines. Local variables don't spill into the global namespace, so it should be fine, since the GC will just clean it up once the function is done executing.

I'm not the best at quakeC, so correct me if I'm wrong.

That might have been my line of code there. I'm rather new to quakec so I could be totally off base, but how can that be a constant if it depends on the value of variable (e.gamerole)?

My impression of quakec was that a line of code like that only defines a constant outside of a function. But I don't know that for certain, just a feeling.

The 1st rule of thumb for QuakeC is: Remember: this language sucks

That "local" thing is a synonym for "". Yeah, it means nothing. Its only point is to be able to use an IDE in C mode for QuakeC
Also, as I said, I have no clue how it behaves with this definition syntax inside of functions, but I'd expect either nothing special, or unpredictable behaviour

WHAT?! THAT'S SO IDIOTIC!

wow, quakeC does suck.

[tZork]

You think that's bad? You got one serious headache coming your way when you find the really dumb shit abt QuakeC.
