Grab variable from player

[lone valley]

I’m making a king of the hill gamemode with CV2 and I want to make a scoreboard

But I’m only using two variables one for kills and Deaths, if I’m using only two int variables.
How do I grab a variable from a specific player?

[echo knot]

you store their kills and deaths as a synced variable in the PDB

this way you dont have to deal with the hell and delays of requesting data from other players

instead you can just request it directly from their PDB, which is instant

something else to note: the event for variable changed breaks when the player board is created as a result of joining the room

so if you need to use variable changed events then youll have to find workarounds

[echo knot]

Request data via an event sender anywhere, and event receiver inside the PDB, then an event sender inside the PDB and and event receiver preferably near where you placed the initial event sender

Player Definition Board

OHHH

[cyan bluff]

if you already understand how those work then you can leverage it to toss data around without having to spend alot of net

provided you dont update too much in a short enough timeframe

PDB is for each individual right? If the variable is synced it doesn’t affect others?

[echo knot]

If it is synced, it wont affect other player definition boards

Synced just means everyone sees the same value for that player definition board specifically

A player definition board is like a circuitboard everyone has a clone of, you just cant see it
