Weapon pickups after kill

[Gudio]

Requested by @4kUM45 and @Gulk.

First of all we need a function called random which accepts minimum and maximum values in its parameters:

Code Select Expand

function random( min, max )
{
if ( min < max )
return rand() % (max - min + 1) + min.tointeger();
else if ( min > max )
return rand() % (min - max + 1) + max.tointeger();
else if ( min == max )
return min.tointeger();
}
then we must add a table responsible for deleting pickups when they're picked up:

Code Select Expand

wepPickups <- {};
next we need a function which will be used in onPlayerDeath/onPlayerKill/onPlayerTeamKill events. (DIY)

Code Select Expand

function CreatePlayerWeaponPickups( player )
{
for ( local i = 0, world, pos, pickup, weapon; i < 7; i++ )
{
world = player.World;
weapon = player.GetWeaponAtSlot( i );
player.World = player.UniqueWorld;

if ( weapon > 0 && weapon != 16 )
{
pos = player.Pos;
pos.x = random( pos.x - 2, pos.x + 2 );
pos.y = random( pos.y - 2, pos.y + 2 );

pickup = CreatePickup( 258 + weapon, world, player.GetAmmoAtSlot( i ), pos, 255, true );
if ( pickup )
wepPickups.rawset( pickup.ID, pickup );
}
}
}
finally, onPlayerClaimPickup must return true:

Code Select Expand

function onPickupClaimPicked( player, pickup )
{
if ( player.Health > 0 && wepPickups.rawin( pickup.ID ) )
{
PlaySound( player.UniqueWorld, 78, player.Pos );

wepPickups.rawdelete( pickup.ID );
pickup.Remove();

return 1;
}

return 0;
}
_/
Feel free to add a timer to delete pickups after some time.

No need for the random function to be so big like that when you can do it all in one line: http://forum.vc-mp.org/?topic=246.0

You might noticed here that I was saying about something like AutoDestroyTimer . Actually , I was too thinking about creating a timer in squirrel native & then removing array/table ( container ) contents .
But , I faced a challenge here . The Challenge was :-


Suppose we create a timer of repeating unit of 10 seconds . Thus , this timer is supposed to delete the table contents after every interval of 10 seconds . Lets assume that there 5 kills occured in this course of 10 seconds & no one picked the pickups , ofcourse
we're creating timer for destroying unpicked pickups .


Kills & Timer Mechanism

Code Select Expand

=========================================================
   Pickup's Birth    |    Timer    |    Pickup's LifeTime             
=========================================================
1.            0s     |     10s     |      10s
2.            3s     |     10s     |       7s
3.            5s     |     10s     |       5s
4.            7s     |     10s     |       3s
5.           10s     |     10s     |       0s
=========================================================

So , each kind of pickup will have variable life span . Even the last one will cease to appear . I know creating an individual timer associated to each pickup will simply lag the server . We have Pickup.RespawnTimer which starts monitoring the pickup when they are picked up . I therefore want that its the server which will start monitoring pickups at the time when they are created & once their life gets passed , they will be destroyed by the server .
