W3mmd

[Xace]

Hello, I am trying to use the W3MMD for my Map that has gained popularity on RoC.

So far I have
Set Up My SQL Data Base
Made the bot communicate with the data base, It currently tracks the default stuff.
I changed my map CFG to a W3MMD map
I Implemented the W3MMD script into my map.

What do I need to do now?
Do I have to Edit the bot in any way?
What are the custom scripts I can use to store the integers that the bot will read?

Please, dont tell me to go to codelain I looked already.

As far as the custom scripts go, I've seen DefineValue and UpdateValue<Type> to be the primary functions for saving data.

public function DefineValue takes string name, integer value_type, integer goal_type, integer suggestion_type returns nothing

On initialization, you would call that to define any values you will save throughout the game.

• string name - data variable/identifier/name
• integer value_type - type of data to save: MMD_TYPE_STRING, MMD_TYPE_INT, or MMD_TYPE_REAL.
• integer goal_type - either GOAL_NONE, GOAL_HIGH, or GOAL_LOW. Apparently it is the sort order of the data variable. I personally don't know what it means.
• integer suggestion_type - either SUGGEST_TRACK, SUGGEST_TRACK, or SUGGEST_LEADERBOARD. Apparently it is "a suggestion for what the parser should do for tracking the value". Again, I don't know how it applies.

Ex:

call DefineValue("kills", MMD_TYPE_INT, GOAL_HIGH, SUGGEST_LEADERBOARD)

You would define all the values/variables on initialization. When you need to update a value, you simply use UpdateValueInt, UpdateValueString, or UpdateValueReal.

public function UpdateValueInt takes string name, player p, integer op, integer value returns nothing

• string name - name of the data/variable/identifier
• player p - which player's data to update
• integer op - either OP_ADD, OP_SUB, OP_SET. add = adds to the current value of that data, sub = subtract, set = set the value.
• integer value - the data will now hold this value.

Ex:

call UpdateValueInt("kills", Player(0), OP_ADD, 1)

Make sure that you only update values that you have defined already (through DefineValue()). And make sure you choose the right type. If you want to update a string, use UpdateValueString instead of UpdateValueInt. Same for the type real.

This is a good thread to read up on, especially the last post:

It has some nice examples that you may be able to work off too (although, I'm sure you already looked at that thread).
