Round break in Scripting

I need this for my map, so I made the script and decided to make a tutorial for this. If there's already one I'm sorry, but I haven't found any (at least here).
It's like in Grid Lock: when you finish a round you have a break to do whatever you want without zombies. The break will end when the time is out or when the host press enter (you might want to change it to other thing).
I haven't tested it online, but it should work well. And please, report me any bug.

Let's start.

If you have NOT done it before, go to root/raw/maps and copy _zombiemode.gsc.
Then go to root/mods/YOUR_MOD_NAME/maps and paste it there.

If you already had this file there you should backup it !!

Open it with the text editor of your choice.

First, find these lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.custom_introscreen = ::zombie_intro_screen; 
level.custom_intermission = ::player_intermission; 
level.reset_clientdvars = ::onPlayerConnect_clientDvars;

and copy this just below:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.roundBreakTimeout = 200; // number of seconds of round break

Feel free to change "200" to the time you want the round break to be.

Now find this function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chalk_round_hint()

and replace it entirely with:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chalk_round_hint(br)
{
	fade_time = 0.5;

	huds = [];
	huds[huds.size] = level.chalk_hud1;

	if( level.round_number > 5 && level.round_number < 11 )
	{
		huds[huds.size] = level.chalk_hud2;
	}

    // --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\

    if( isDefined( br ) && br ) {
        hud = create_simple_hud();
        hud.alignX = "left";
        hud.alignY = "bottom";
        hud.horzAlign = "left"; 
        hud.vertAlign = "bottom";
        hud.color = (1,1,1);
        hud.alpha = 0;
        hud.fontScale = 12;
        hud setText( "BREAK" );

        array_thread( huds,::hideRoundHuds,fade_time );
        wait(fade_time * 2);

        hud fadeOverTime(fade_time);
        hud.alpha = 1;
        wait(fade_time);
        hud fadeOverTime(fade_time);
        hud.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );

        level notify( "round_break_hud_created" );

        level waittill( "round_break_finished" );

        hud fadeOverTime(fade_time);
        hud.color = (1,1,1);
        wait(fade_time);
        hud fadeOverTime(fade_time);
        hud.alpha = 0;
        wait(fade_time);

        array_thread( huds,::showRoundHuds,fade_time );

        hud destroy_hud();

        return;
    }

    // --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\


	time = level.zombie_vars["zombie_between_round_time"];
	for( i = 0; i < huds.size; i++ )
	{
		huds[i] FadeOverTime( time * 0.25 );
		huds[i].color = ( 1, 1, 1 );
	}
	if(IsDefined(level.eggs) && level.eggs !=1)
	{
		if(IsDefined(level.doground_nomusic  && level.doground_nomusic == 0 ))
		{
		setmusicstate("round_end");
		wait( time * 0.25 );
	}
		else if(IsDefined(level.doground_nomusic  && level.doground_nomusic == 1 ))
		{
			play_sound_2D( "bright_sting" );
 
		}
	}
	//	play_sound_at_pos( "end_of_round", ( 0, 0, 0 ) );



	// Pulse
	//fade_time = 0.5;
	steps =  ( time * 0.5 ) / fade_time;
	for( q = 0; q < steps; q++ )
	{
		for( i = 0; i < huds.size; i++ )
		{
			if( !IsDefined( huds[i] ) )
			{
				continue;
			}

			huds[i] FadeOverTime( fade_time );
			huds[i].alpha = 0;
		}

		wait( fade_time );

		for( i = 0; i < huds.size; i++ )
		{
			if( !IsDefined( huds[i] ) )
			{
				continue;
			}

			huds[i] FadeOverTime( fade_time );
			huds[i].alpha = 1;		
		}

		wait( fade_time );
	}

	for( i = 0; i < huds.size; i++ )
	{
		if( !IsDefined( huds[i] ) )
		{
			continue;
		}

		huds[i] FadeOverTime( time * 0.25 );
		//		huds[i].color = ( 0.8, 0, 0 );
		huds[i].color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );
		huds[i].alpha = 1;
	}
}

Now find this line inside this function and comment it:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// FUNCTION
round_think()
// ---------- \\
// COMMENT THIS LINE:
level thread spectators_respawn();
// ---------- \\

It should look like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// ... code above

        round_wait(); 
        level.first_round = false;

        // level thread spectators_respawn();

        //        round_text( &"ZOMBIE_ROUND_END" );
        level thread chalk_round_hint();

// ... code below

Find the "round_wait()" function and inside of it, just at the end, add this lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\

breakHud = createTimerHud();
roundBreak();
level notify( "round_break_finished" );
level.inRoundBreak = false; // may need it for other scripts
breakHud destroy_hud();

// --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\

Finally, add these functions just bellow the "round_wait()" function (outside of it).

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\

hideRoundHuds(f) {
    self fadeOverTime(f);
    self.color = (1,1,1);
    wait(f);
    self fadeOverTime(f);
    self.alpha = 0;
}

showRoundHuds(f) {
    self fadeOverTime(f);
    self.alpha = 1;
}
roundBreak() {

    level notify( "round_break_started" ); // may need it for other scripts
    level.inRoundBreak = true; // may need it for other scripts
    self endon( "enter_pressed" );

    level thread spectators_respawn(); // make everyone respawn first

    thread chalk_round_hint(true);

    thread keyListenerInit( get_players()[0],"enter" );

    wait( level.roundBreakTimeout );

}

keyListenerInit(player,key) { // only for host, easy to change for everyone

    //level endon( "round_break_finished" );

    level waittill( "round_break_hud_created" ); // wait until hud is created to avoid bugs

    hint = create_simple_hud( player );
    hint.foreground = true;
    hint.hidewheninmenu = true;
    hint.alignX = "center";
    hint.alignY = "middle";
    hint.horzAlign = "center"; 
    hint.vertAlign = "middle";
    hint.y = -48;
    hint.alpha = 1;
    hint.fontScale = 1.25;
    hint setText( "Press ENTER to start round " + (level.round_number + 1) );

    pressed = getIfKeyPressed(player,key);
    //while(1) {
    //     if( player buttonPressed(key) ) break;
    //     wait(0.1);
    //}

    hint destroy_hud();

    if( pressed ) self notify( "enter_pressed" );
}

getIfKeyPressed(pl,k) {

    level endon( "round_break_finished" );

    while(1) {
         if( pl buttonPressed(k) ) return true;
         wait(0.1);
    }

    return false;
}

createTimerHud() {
    hud = create_simple_hud();
    hud.foreground = true;
    hud.hidewheninmenu = false;
    hud.alignX = "right"; 
    hud.alignY = "top";
    hud.horzAlign = "right"; 
    hud.vertAlign = "top";
    hud.x = -2;
    hud.y = -2;
    hud.alpha = 1;
    hud.fontScale = 9;
    hud.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );
    hud setTimer( level.roundBreakTimeout );

    return hud;
}

// --- Soy-yo's round break --- \\

If you want to do something when the round break starts or if you need to check if you are in the round break you can use this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level waittill( "round_break_started" ); // do something when break starts
level waittill( "round_break_finished" ); // do something when break ends
level endon( "round_break_started" ); // end your function when break starts
level endon( "round_break_finished" ); // end your function when break ends

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if( isDefined( level.inRoundBreak ) && level.inRoundBreak ) // you are in round break
if( !isDefined( level.inRoundBreak ) || !level.inRoundBreak ) // you are NOT in round break
if( isDefined( level.inRoundBreak ) && !level.inRoundBreak ) // you are NOT in round break and NOT in round 1
if( !isDefined( level.inRoundBreak ) ) // you are in round 1 and not in a break
if( isDefined( level.inRoundBreak ) ) // you are in round break or not, but not in round 1

If you use it in your map, please give credit to me. Enjoy it.
