How to read (and use) the value of a FLAG?

[mwd2]

Is there an option (maybe lua script) to read out the value of a FLAG and use the number to count points?

 

Example:

i) I increase the value of FLAG 250, everytime a situation (trigger) go activate - WORKING!

ii) every 10min. i will check the value of FLAG 250 - NO PROBLEM!

 

iii) FLAG 250 has a value 23 --> Message to all (Blue has 23 points) - PROBLEM

If I remember correctly there is an option to check if the value of a flag is > x so use, once -> flag 'number' greater than 22 -> action.

yes, but you don`t get the current number, if you want to check every 10min for the number and display intermediate result.... and of course the end result after 60min. or 120min. playtime.

Lots and lots of "Flag = x> Message: Score = X" triggers is about the only way you can do it.

Okay, i see. Now i give the points out, if a Flag reach 15, 30, 45 points and soon....

Now that the SSE is released:

Run Script> trigger.action.outText(trigger.misc.getUserFlag(flagnumber), displaytime)

 

That script should work.
