I’m trying to make a bounty system but it’s not working as intended. This is the current code:
using {/Fortnite.com/Devices}
using {/Verse.org/Simulation}
using {/Verse.org/Assets}
using {/Verse.org/Random}
using {/Fortnite.com/Characters}
using {/Fortnite.com/Game}
# Device for managing Bounty events
bounty_manager := class(creative_device):
@editable
TriggerButton : button_device = button_device{}
@editable
BountyReference : player_reference_device = player_reference_device{}
@editable
BountyReward : item_granter_device = item_granter_device{}
@editable
BountyTimer : timer_device = timer_device{}
@editable
UITimer : timer_device = timer_device{}
TargetIndex : int = 0
# Text messages
StartBountyText<localizes> : message = "Start a new bounty!"
# UI Canvas
var BountyOngoing : logic = false
OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
# Add start bounty button
TriggerButton.SetInteractionText(StartBountyText)
TriggerButton.InteractedWithEvent.Subscribe(HandleButtonPress)
UITimer.SuccessEvent.Subscribe(RemoveBountyUI)
BountyTimer.SuccessEvent.Subscribe(BountyExpired)
BountyTimer.Disable()
# Add elimination trigger to all players
AllPlayers := GetPlayspace().GetPlayers()
for (PlayerChar: AllPlayers, FortCharacter:=PlayerChar.GetFortCharacter[]):
FortCharacter.EliminatedEvent().Subscribe(ProcessElimination)
# Method to start a Bounty
HandleButtonPress( gamer : agent) : void =
AllPlayers := GetPlayspace().GetPlayers()
# Randomly Set a Bounty Target
PlayerCount : int = AllPlayers.Length
if (TargetIndex = GetRandomInt(0, PlayerCount-1)):
Print("Player Count is {PlayerCount}")
Print("Target index is {TargetIndex}")
# Register the Bounty target's agent to the bounty reference hologram
if (BountyTarget := AllPlayers[TargetIndex]):
Print("Bounty target player set")
if (BountyFortChar := BountyTarget.GetFortCharacter[]):
Print("Bounty target fortcharacter set")
if (BountyAgent := BountyFortChar.GetAgent[]):
Print("Bounty target agent set")
TriggerButton.Disable()
BountyReference.Enable()
BountyReference.Register(BountyAgent)
set BountyOngoing = true
BountyTimer.Enable()
BountyTimer.Reset()
BountyTimer.Start()
# Method to process eliminiations during a bounty
ProcessElimination( Result : elimination_result) : void=
# Get the involved players and the current target
Eliminator := Result.EliminatingCharacter
Eliminated := Result.EliminatedCharacter
BountyTarget := BountyReference.GetAgent()
Print("Eliminated method was called")
# Check if a bounty is ongoing
if (BountyOngoing = true):
Print("Bounty is ongoing")
# Check if the eliminated character is the bounty
if (EliminatedChar:= Eliminated, EliminatedAgent :=EliminatedChar.GetAgent[]):
Print("Got eliminated agent")
if (EliminatedAgent = BountyTarget):
Print("Bounty target is the deceased")
if (EliminatorChar:= Eliminator?, EliminatingAgent :=EliminatorChar.GetAgent[]):
Print("got the killer")
# Ensuring suicide doesn't grant the target extra gold
if (not EliminatingAgent = EliminatedAgent):
Print("gave gold")
BountyReward.GrantItem(EliminatingAgent)
# Close the bounty
TriggerButton.Enable()
set BountyOngoing = false
BountyTimer.Disable()
BountyReference.Disable()
UITimer.Enable()
UITimer.Reset()
UITimer.Start()
# Function to reward the target for surviving
BountyExpired(gamer : ?agent): void=
if (BountyOngoing = true):
Print("bounty is expired")
# Reward the survivor
AllPlayers := GetPlayspace().GetPlayers()
if (BountyTarget := AllPlayers[TargetIndex]):
Print("got bounty target player")
if (BountyFortChar := BountyTarget.GetFortCharacter[]):
Print("got bounty target fortchar")
if (BountyAgent := BountyFortChar.GetAgent[]):
Print("got bounty target agent")
BountyReward.GrantItem(BountyAgent)
# Close the bounty
TriggerButton.Enable()
set BountyOngoing = false

UITimer.Enable()

# Function to remove the bounty UI after completion
RemoveBountyUI(gamer : ?agent): void=
UITimer.Disable()
Ignore the print statements, I was testing where the code execution failed in the log
Some notes:
- In a 2-player lobby, the bounty was ALWAYS using index = 0 and never set the bounty to the other person. However, the PlayerCount was successfully = 2 for a 2-player lobby. TargetIndex just wouldn’t be =1, even after 10 attempts
- The bounty DOES register the player at index=0 to the reference device, and when the timer expires the targeted player receives the survival reward
- The execution log does fully complete for the setting bounty method, so that method works fine
The actual issue is the kill; when an elimination occurs, following the print statements, the execution fails at the if (EliminatedAgent = BountyTarget) line. This means the agent i’m getting from the player reference device isn’t the same as the player that is marked as the one that dies. Why is that? What ends up happening is that even if the target dies, the bounty doesnt end and when the timer is up, the target receives the survival reward.
How can I make a proper comparison to the bounty target dying with the player reference device that stores the bounty target? Currently using Verse API Reference and the .digest.verse files, also let me know if there are better resources
