Post subject:  Count amount of worms left in team
I would like to have events happen in the case that each team has only 1 worm left, so I would like to be able to count the worms left in any given team (so, not just the active one).

Is there a way to do this?

Hey Raffie, I think I played with you some days ago.

I'm not really into all the API functions provided by PX but can't you just iterate over all worms of any team and get the team color of each one?

Hi DebugErr, good to see you here, PX needs some active developers :p

So I read in your intrduction post that you're a software developer, me, I'm a webdeveloper, writing PHP is a big part of my job. But I don't know any C, C++, C#,.... so EAX is a bit of a stretch for me. I do understand basic principles of programming obviously from what I know in PHP, and I've learned a thing or two from studying existing PX libs' code.

In any event, I'm gonna see if I can figure out how to convert your suggestion into a EAX script :P

Will be a nice share! Didn't have the time to check the idea myself yet sadly.

Lol, for me, PHP and other web development doesn't tickle my balls, but strongly typed, "traditional" languages (can you even call non-web-languages like this already?) for app development will do.

hi, raffie!
yes, it is possible to get the number of worms in team.
  • GS->Info.Teams[team].NWorms - starting number of worms (as set in the lobby); note: worms resurrecting may increment this variable
  • GS->Info.Teams[team].Worms[worm].State - state of worm; value 135 (more memorizable: WS_DEAD) means that worm is dead
so the following script is counting non-dead worms. the simplest solution that i can write:
Code:
require utils;

override void CTurnGame::Message(CObject* sender,EMType Type,int MSize,CMessageData* MData) {
  super;
  if (Type == M_TURNEND) {
 
    for (local team = 0; team < 6; team++) {
   
      local wormCount = 0;
      for (local worm = 0; worm < GS->Info.Teams[team].NWorms; worm++)
        if (GS->Info.Teams[team].Worms[worm].State != 135) // if not dead
          wormCount++;
         
      if (wormCount == 1)
        GG->WriteToChat(9+team, StrCon(StrCon("poor lonely ", IToC(team)), " worm... :{"), false);
       
    }
   
  }
}         
       
string IToC(int n) {
  if (n == 0) return "Red";
  if (n == 1) return "Blue";
  if (n == 2) return "Green";
  if (n == 3) return "Yellow";
  if (n == 4) return "Purple";
  if (n == 5) return "Cyan";
  return "Null";
} 

is my answer helpful?
