How to Make Logs - RichyB - 17.07.2010

I will be using the Grand Larceny Script for Example.
Alright, lets say we wanted to create a Log of everyone who dies.

We put this at the top of our script:
Like This:

Now Look for
Underneath that we are in need of a String, this string will be written to the Log File.
Alright, so we need to get the Name of the Killer and the Player.
So Under the KillString put this.
This will be where we store the full name of the Victim, and the Killer.
Ok, we gotta get the names.
So under the above do this:
This will get the Full Name for both Victim and Killer

Now we need to Format the string to say Victimname was killed by Killername.
So what we do is put this under the above code:
Alright, so we have done all that, but what we need to do now, is tell the server what it does with that.
So now we need to do this under the above code:
Now thats all for OnPlayerDeath:
The Above should look like this:

Alright, if we compiled this, we would probably get an error which says this:
function "KillLog" is not implemented

The reason is, we haven't setup the KillLog Function.
How we do this, is scroll to the bottom of your script.
Out of any Functions put this code in:
This should Compile Perfect.
But if someone kills you, nothing will happen, since we haven't told it to do anything.
Now for the below, but it in the
when I mean in the { } i mean
Now we need to create a new string.
This is the string that gets the last string and puts it into the Log.
Now we need to Format this String and put in the last String.
Now Since we have Formatted that, its time for the File Creation.
A String is similar to a Variable.
This is a String
And this is a Variable
Creating a new file is easy.
Copy this below the above.
And now we need to open the file.
io_append will open the file into the kill.log file.
And if there file isn't there, it will create it when someone dies.
Next we need to write to the file thats there.
Now since we have written into the file, we need to close it safely.
Put the following code underneath the above.
And thats it for the File.
The Above should look like this.

Now your ready to compile and kill your friends and see the logs appear in your scriptfiles folder.
Thanks, and hope you enjoyed the Tutorial.

Good tutorial, however I'm going to point out a couple of things :P
That is a big waste of cells, the max number the string can be is 63.

Also, there's no need to forward that KickLog functions, since it's not being used in a timer or such.

But nice

How can I create the file inside a folder?

You just bumped a 4 year old thread..

It will automatically make the file once a player is killed.

The server may crash in case if the folder don't exist.

The server can also crash from natives fwrite, fclose because it never checks whether the file handle is valid.
