Score board and kill cap

Hey everyone!
I have a question regarding Score board and death cap on online levels.
Ok lets start out with score board. What i wanna do is have a GUI window appear when a button is pressed.
That shows deaths/kills for each player. I have noticed that the console is saving how many times i die/kill something is it possible to use that data in a GUI window and if so how will i go about doing that?
What i mean with kill cap is lets say the kill cap is 50 as soon as someone gets 50 kills the map going into a gui screen that shows stats of the game and when the one holding the server press resume the game starts again.
I know how to do the GUI window but i am unsure of how to do the statistics accurate to the match.
Best regards

EDIT: hmm... wouldn't be a bad idea to slightly rewrite this so that each gametype has a unique global name for EndGameScore

Glancing over the script files I see that the endGameScore is hardcoded to 20// Set the gameplay parameters %game.duration = 30 * 60; %game.endgameScore = 20; // This shouldn't be hardcoded! %game.endgamePause = 10; $Game::EndGameScore = 20;Should probably be
// Set the gameplay parameters $Game::EndGameScore = 20; %game.duration = 30 * 60; %game.endgameScore = $Game::EndGameScore; // now it makes use of the global variable %game.endgamePause = 10;

If i can just spin on another thing really quick.
If i want to change the firing mode or how fast a weapon can fire or how many shoots it can get of before reload how would i go about doing that and what do i need to think about?
Now i only have the "states" from the Full template.
Note: i am not asking for a direct answer how to do this just in general, and what i need to think of when modifying states.

Scoring limits are changed in the appropriate gametype's script file. Look in scripts/server/gameDM.cs, it has a checkScore() function that checks the client's current score and if it's greater than the EndGameScore it tells the game to cycle:
// Determine if this client has reached the $Game::EndGameScore limit, // and if so then cycle the game. function DeathMatchGame::checkScore(%game, %client) { //echo (%game @"c4 -> "@ %game.class @" -> DeathMatchGame::checkScore"); echo("score: "@ %client.score @" "@ %game.endgameScore @" "@ $Game::EndGameScore); if (%client.score >= %game.endgameScore) cycleGame(); }Simply find and change the EndGameScore variable to your preference. Also in this function is probably where you would want to pop up your endgame score gui before passing things to cycleGame()
