Foreach player

Overview

Syntax: foreach player <variable> <identifier> <command>

Variation of this command that doesn't expand variables: foreach

Description

Runs a command on every player of a group or on a single player. It stores the current player in variable. You can also use it with an es before it.

Note: It doesn't expand server variables!

Parameters

• variable - a variable where you wish to store the token
• identifier - the target player/group/sort of players
  • <playername>
  • <steamid>
  • <userid> (not recommended, because there is no need of it!)
  • #all - all players
  • #ct - counter-terrorists
  • #t - terrorists
  • #spec - spectators
  • #un - unassigned (people who never joined a team or spec after connecting)
  • #dead - dead players
  • #alive - living players
  • #human - real players
  • #bot - bots
• command - the command that will be looped, use es_* commands in it to expand variables.

Examples

 // foreach requires the corelib that comes with EventScripts. This is usually loaded for you when ES starts.
 es_load corelib 
 // let the bots and humans say something
 foreach player tempuserid #bot "es_sexec server_var(tempuserid) say I am a silly bot!" 
 foreach player tempuserid #human "es_sexec server_var(tempuserid) say I am a real player!"

Notes

• The variable you defined with <variable> will be set to the current userid from the loop. You can access it with server_var(<variable>)
• If the players died just before the round end, the Source engine still classifies them as alive. So for a reliable #dead/#alive indentifier, use the new deadflag method of ES 1.5 eventscripts_deadflag
• You can use multiple filters such as #human#alive.
