Increase score for blowing up things

#1 In the onDestroyed method if you have one then add something like this

$player::score += 25;
      scorecounter.setCounterValue($Player::score);

          // save the score
          saveGame();

maybe its different for you but it is basically where you want to look..
since you dont want it scoring onDamage.. :)

#2 Dang it's not working. That first line it doesn't complain about but it doesn't know what the rest of it is and my score doesn't update.
I tried putting that in my explodingBarrel.cs that I made, but it doesn't do anything. hmm

For the AI bot I had put a %sourceClient.incScore(1); in the player.cs and it works for the bot, but I don't think it knows what the %sourceClient is for the barrel (just my theory I'm not much of a coder yet) but I don't know

#3 Here's my exploding barrel script that I pieced together from code I found around the forums, the exploding barrel works great but no score :(
(This may also come in handy for anyone who needs an exploding barrel, they'll need to of course change the model, damageType, and the two explosion datablocks [you only need one explosion though], and I put this in a new explodingBarrel.cs and then added an exec for that script in the game.cs)

But I really want it to give me a score, see down at the bottom of the code where I was thinking of having the score

datablock StaticShapeData(ExplodingBarrel)
{
   category 	 = "Misc";
   shapeFile 	 = "~/data/shapes/explosionshapes/barrel.dts";
  
   damageRadius  = 10;
   radiusDamage  = 50;
   damageType	 = TargetMinorDebris;
   damageImpulse = 2000; 
   maxDamage     = 10;

};

function ExplodingBarrel::Damage(%data,%obj,%sourceObject,%pos,%damage,%damagetype)
{

    %obj.applyDamage(%damage);
    if(%obj.getDamageLevel() >= %obj.maxDamage)
  {

       blowup(%obj,%pos);  
  }

}


function blowup(%obj,%pos)
{

   %source = %obj.getDataBlock();
   if(%obj.exploded)
             return;
   %obj.exploded = true;



   %p = new Explosion()
   {
     	datablock = TargetMinorExplosion;
	position  = %pos;
	sourceObject  = %obj.sourceObject;
	sourceSlot	= %obj.sourceSlot;
      client	= %obj.client;
   };

   %p = new Explosion()
   {
     	datablock = MolotovExplosion;
	position  = %pos;
	sourceObject  = %obj.sourceObject;
	sourceSlot	= %obj.sourceSlot;
      client	= %obj.client;
   };

     MissionCleanup.add(%p);
  
        radiusDamage(%obj,%pos,%source.damageRadius,
        %source.radiusDamage,%source.damageType,%source.damageImpulse);  
        alxPlay(explosion);

        %sourceClient.incScore(100);  // This line doesn't work though

        echo("foo");

        %obj.schedule(99, "delete");
       
}

#4 And for my scoring system I used this:
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=11144

which was based off of the ammo display system here:
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=1786

#5 Try %player.incScore(100);

#6 Tried it, didn't work :(
Said incScore not found

#7 Put the points in your onDamage player.cs make the arrow worth points.

#8 What do you mean the arrow? Do you mean the barrel? What would an example look like of the code that I would put in the onDamage? Thanks

#9 @Jesse,

Tom is right. You can do it by using incScore(). But instead %player.incScore(100), you have to use %client.incScore(100). And probably you will have a variable to save that inside each %client. If you see
the function

function GameConnection::onConnect( %client, %name )

you'll know what I mean.

#10 Hmm, tried %client.incScore(100); and %clientSource.incScore(100); but both say can't find incScore

It worked when I put it for the AI bad guy in player.cs but not for my barrel in my explodingBarrel.cs
Not to sure what variable I need to add or how to make it to work

#11 @Jesse

In your blowup(%obj,%pos) function, %obj is not a player object. That is a barrel. I wonder if you can
get sourceObject by %obj.sourceObject. If that works OK, the game connection %client will be sourceObject.client. But if it doesn't give you desired result, you will need to pass it as a parameter in blowup(), maybe something like this.

function blowup(%obj,%sourceObject,%pos)

Then, you can call incScore like this.

%sourceObject.client.incScore(100);

The point is to get appropriate game connection %client. If you don't you will get error message like you have.
Hope this may help

#12 Aha! The last suggestion about passing it as a parameter worked! Thanks COLYD!
