give extra lives through ACS

Is it possible to give a player additional lives in survival by an ACS command? I found an old thread on google about this and wonder if this has ever been implemented.

GetPlayerLives and SetPlayerLives are in Zan 2.0, I think. I remember suggesting them like a year ago.

I already added these functions in 1.1:Ænima wrote: GetPlayerLives and SetPlayerLives are in Zan 2.0, I think. I remember suggesting them like a year ago.
1.1 changelog wrote: + - Added new ACS commands GetPlayerLivesLeft and SetPlayerLivesLeft. In game modes using sv_maxlives, these commands allow to access and change how many times the specified player is still allowed to respawn. [Torr Samaho]

Oh! My bad, sorry I was too lazy to actually check. :p

Hmm, combining these quotes it almost sounds as if you are requesting features, but then don't even bother to check whether they are implemented... I'll have to keep this in mind :PÆnima wrote: Oh! My bad, sorry I was too lazy to actually check. :p

Actually it was because I had wanted to use it for a mod that I was working on, but then I stopped working on that mod and so I didn't have much motivation to look into testing the Get/SetPlayerLives implementation.
Should I continue working on it just for the sake of testing this feature? It was basically an arcade-style survival mod in which getting enough points would give you an "1-Up" (in addition to an invul sphere replacement which also gives you an extra life).

Didn't Laggy Blazko do something like this? I think I even remember you posting in the thread here.

Oh god, I wish I had time to update that thing. ;_;

No, it's fine. Qent confirmed that the implementation works back then.Ænima wrote: Should I continue working on it just for the sake of testing this feature?

Oh, hehe, I'm just now looking @ the wiki. I'm so hooked to the ZDoom wiki that sometimes I forget that Zandronum also has one to look in before posting :P. Anyway, thanks!
