Lua How many times the player killed and died for each other

[Chady Chaito]

Good evening , I need help because I am implementing a system , and need to know how many times " in life " the player killed and died for another player. How to do this ?

 

[Mkalo]

function onKill(...)
    if target:isPlayer() then
        player:setStorageValue(12345, math.max(0, player:getStorageValue(12345)) + 1)
    end
end

Similar for onDeath.

cant you have getlayer~~ or 0 instead of math max? since it returns nil if its not been set it should default to 0

No, it returns -1 by default.

i mean like

function onKill(...)
if target:isPlayer() then
player:setStorageValue(12345, (player:getStorageValue(12345) or 0) + 1)
end
end

if

player:getStorageValue(...)

returns nil which it will if its in default state, the code above will return 0
its a very minor thing but it removes the need of math.max() call

 

[Mkalo]

It does not return nil if not set... It returns -1.

    if (player->getStorageValue(key, value)) {
        lua_pushnumber(L, value);
    } else {
        lua_pushnumber(L, -1);
    }

oh, my bad then, thought it did

If it did return nil the code would not work.
math.max(0, nil) -- error
