Topic: How to measure the covered distance?

Hello everybody

Today I thought about some statistics within the game, so please accept this as raw result of my mind smile
Normally I have results for captured flags and score points per player (kills and grabbed flag) and team.

So I came up withthe following: it could be interesting to distinguish players by movement/time (=speed) or covered distance during a match. Teeworlds provides some kind of measurement unit already: the size of a tee or tile you paint in the editor. Count how many of those zones are passing by? (maybe count only those where a tee had more than 50 percent of its body, not every tiny crossed corner of a zone)
Is it somehow possible or even accomplished within the client?

This is not about a technical solution for myself, because I don't know anything about code. Instead this could serve as idea for you.
As end user, player actually, I would like to see this in some kind of extended scoreboard.


addition:
Hopefull this is the right place for this kind of request

Re: How to measure the covered distance?

Easy going. (Everything in CCharacter)
Make a variable m_PrevPos (like m_PrevInput) and save m_Pos in it in the end of every tick (also set it to m_Pos at OnSpawn()).
Then add another variable which is ummm. m_MovedDistance
After m_Core.Tick(true); you do m_MovedDistance += distance(m_PrevPos, m_Pos);
Remember that after you die the variables will be lost (I THINK) save it in CPlayer if you want them to persist after dieing.

This is not about a technical solution for myself, because I don't know anything about code. Instead this could serve as idea for you.

Re: How to measure the covered distance?

But I am glad ypou present a solution so quickly.
Unfortunately I can not make use of your suggested code.

Do you know about an implemented solution in any client?
Could you imagine people might be interested having this feature?

TDTW includes speedometer and i am pretty sure walking distance recorder too

As many other things on planet, this one can be solved with Vi.

Re: How to measure the covered distance?

Hello D86leader

I have found the client and tested it, looks nice, is stuffed with features, does not consume all of my CPU....
but I can not find something like a speedometer.
Maybe you can tell me where to activate it?

Hello traitor

o_O you're right, TDTW developers removed speedometer. I certanly can remember measuring speed in race and fastcap. Maybe this is connected to changing dev team of tdtw. Well, sorry for wrong information -.-

As many other things on planet, this one can be solved with Vi.

Sushi pack client has the ability to turn on the speedometer i believe.

Re: How to measure the covered distance?

Hm, are you sure that I could show the distance I moved during a match? I could not find it either, maybe I am looking at the wrong places?

Yet I have some trouble with this client, because it consumes 60% of CPU power, while default client only uses around 35% with "same" settings. So my notebook feels like a hair-dryer and sounds alike....
Anyway, thank you for your answer.
It has one neat feature, to disabled specific layer in a map during the game smile


To push my topic in another direction:
when I press ctr/shift/d to look at debug information I see right hand some position information, could not a client store all the changes and calculate the distance?
There are so many features I do not use, maybe someone could embed this one? Might be considered as useless for most, but somehow interesting data for comparison smile

Re: How to measure the covered distance?

Hi, i took a look and i have even an answer:
you can calculate the position if you store the positions you get every pingtime and then just use length(OldPosition-NewPosition) or distance(OldPosition, New Position) or the Pythagorean theorem^^
