Description

A shortcut function for Player.__setattr__() and Player.__setitem__() that allows the scripter to set a custom Player attribute on a single userid or multiple userids using a filter as provided by playerlib.getPlayerList().

Arguments

setAttribute(filter, attribute, value)
  • filter
  • attribute
    • The str() name of the attribute
  • value
    • The value of the attribute


Examples

  • Setting the attribute:
# ../<MOD>/addons/eventscripts/gungame/scripts/custom/gg_sample/gg_sample.py
 
import es
 
from gungame.core.players.shortcuts import setAttribute
from gungame.core.players.shortcuts import deleteAttribute
 
def load():
    # Set the custom attribute "myattribute" on all connected players
    setAttribute('#all', 'myattribute', 0)
 
def unload():
    # Remove the custom attribute "myattribute" from all players
    deleteAttribute('#all', 'myattribute')
 
def gg_start():
    # Set the custom attribute "myattribute" on all connected players
    # (due to the fact that all custom player attributes are removed
    # when the GunGame match ends, we need to re-instantiated the
    # custom attribute "myattribute" when a new GunGame round starts)
    setAttribute('#all', 'myattribute', 0)
 
def player_activate(event_var):
    # Set the custom attribute "myattribute" for this userid
    setAttribute(event_var['userid'], 'myattribute', 0)
 
def player_disconnect(event_var):
    # Delete the custom attribute "myattribute" from this userid
    deleteAttribute(event_var['userid'], 'myattribute')
  • Accessing the attribute:
import es
 
from gungame.core.players.shortcuts import Player
 
def player_say(event_var):
    if event_var['text'] == 'myattribute':
        userid = event_var['userid']
 
        # Using the Player.__getattr__() method
        es.tell(userid, 'Your attribute: %s' %Player(userid).myattribute
 
        # Using the Player.__getitem__() method
        es.tell(userid, 'Your attribute: %s' %Player(userid)['myattribute']

Notes

  • In order to effectively set a custom attribute on all players, use the setAttribute() function in your addon's load(), [[1]], and gg_start() functions:
def load():
    setAttribute('#all', 'yourattributename', 0)
 
def player_activate(event_var):
    setAttribute(event_var['userid'], 'yourattributename', 0)
 
def gg_start():
    setAttribute(event_var['userid'], 'yourattributename', 0)
