Accessing gold resources of allies who left the game

[NecroVirus]

I got a 4 person dungeon but if someone leaves or the game is started with open slots there is no way to access the gold picked up by those heroes or use it to buy items.

Anyone know an easy fix for this?

Keep track of all players gold by saving it to a real variable, then you also periodically check for unused player slots. If any previously used player slot is now unused you distribute gold equal to the variable among the remaining players on the team of the player who left.

I imagine this would work:

• Setup Players
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet ActivePlayers = (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User)).)

• Player Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Remove (Triggering player) from ActivePlayers.
    • Set VariableSet TempInteger[1] = ((Triggering player) Current gold)
    • Set VariableSet TempInteger[2] = (Number of players in ActivePlayers)
    • Set VariableSet TempInteger[3] = (TempInteger[1] / TempInteger[2])
    • Player Group - Pick every player in ActivePlayers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Add TempInteger[3] to (Picked player).Current gold

Will it still track the gold accurately even though the player has left the game?

Oh, I misread and thought he just wanted their resources after they left. I'm pretty sure everything will still work even after they leave though.

But to expand on what I originally said, you could create another Player Group for Inactive Players, and then do the same method(s) mentioned above but periodically like you had suggested.

So at the start of the game you break the Users up into two Player Groups, ActivePlayers and InactivePlayers.

If a Player leaves they're removed from ActivePlayers and put into InactivePlayers and their gold is evenly distributed among ActivePlayers.

Then you can periodically distributed the InactivePlayer's gold among the ActivePlayers. Or, make it Event based because I imagine the only time they're gaining gold is after kills, acquiring gold power ups, and being rewarded gold through triggers.
