GameType

int GameType (void)

Usage

Returns the game type currently being played.

Return value

The game type currently being played. For readability there are definitions defined in zdefs.acs as follows:

• GAME_SINGLE_PLAYER = 0

Solo play.

• GAME_NET_COOPERATIVE = 1

Cooperative net game.

• GAME_NET_DEATHMATCH = 2

Deathmatch net game.

• GAME_TITLE_MAP = 3

Title map

Examples

With this command it is possible to do things such as give an explanation about the map to the player.

script 1 ENTER
{
    if (GameType() != GAME_NET_DEATHMATCH)
        Print (s:"This is a deathmatch only map!");
    else
        Print (s:"BobDM1\nBy Bob");
}

Another use could be to unlock extra areas in GAME_NET_COOPERATIVE mode like in the example below, where all doors with a sector tag of 666 are opened, the level music is changed, and a message is printed if playing in co-op.

Script "OpenCooperativeAreas" OPEN
{
	If (GameType() == GAME_NET_COOPERATIVE)
	{
		Door_Open (666,16,0);
		SetMusic ("COOPMUSIC");
		PrintBold (s:"New areas have been unlocked in CO-OP mode!");
	}
}
