I want a function to be called when the game is over ('Soccer game over.' message appears).

I have tried two possibilities:

1.

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_TimedGameOver:
   {
      Player *p[5];
      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
         p[i] = (Player*)event.p[i];

      doSomething();
   }
   break;

2.

Code: Show/Hide

switch (type)
      {
      case MSG_Arena:
         {
            sendPublic("_MSG_Arena_");
            if (strcmp(msg, "Soccer game over.") == 0)
            {
               doSomething();
            }
         }
         break;

Note: I don't see '_MSG_Arena_'. Is 'Soccer game over' an arena message? I also check all other MSG types with sendPublic. Nothing gets displayed. it seems like it has no MSG type at all.

I know that doSomething() does not get called because the first line in doSomething() is sendPublic("_doSomething_"); and I never see that message.

ok, the event_timedgameover is for KOTH. Your 2nd set of code is correct. Try this,

char test[100];
sprintf(test, "_MSG_Arena_ %i", GetTickCount() );
sendPublic(test);

the array doesnt need to be that big, i just didnt want to figure out the perfect length

ive noticed that sometimes i dont get messages from bots because they are sending the same thing multiple times. So i use the tickcount to randomize what is being sent.

That is so ugly.

it's not that bad.

another solution is to do

sendPublic("*arena MSG_ARENA");

arena messages always get sent even if they are the same, i think

or just send 2 different messages:

sendPublic("-");
sendPublic("MSG_ARENA");

nothing is ugly, his code is fine and working with sprintf is better than using the string class. Do a char test[25]; it shouldnt get any larger than that.

If you must use it that way, use snprintf then.

Ok, it works now, thank you.

Catid, if you read this. Build in an EVENT_SoccerGameOver
