How to create a simple RP quiz (Dialogs)


Introduction


In this tutorial I'll show you how to create a simple role play quiz with dialogs.


Step 1

Let's define some dialog id's at the top of the script:

pawn Code:

#define DIALOG_QUIZ 5550
#define DIALOG_QUIZ1 5551
#define DIALOG_QUIZ2 5552
#define DIALOG_QUIZ3 5553
#define DIALOG_QUIZ4 5554

Step 2

Let's declare a new variable, so if the player have 3 wrong answers, he will get kicked.

pawn Code:

new QuizAnswers[MAX_PLAYERS];

Step 3

So, if you have a registration/login system, add the next code after the player registers/login (or how you wish), or you can add it at one of your command, you decide when the role play quiz will start.

pawn Code:

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,DIALOG_QUIZ,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"What does RP stands for?"," Real Pussy \n Role Play \n Real Money","Select","Leave Game");
// It will show him the first question from the quiz, he have to choose from those 3 answers

I'll just put it at OnPlayerConnect callback, so when he will connect to your server he will get the quiz.

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"You will have to pass through a quiz"); // Added -1 color as default.
        ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,DIALOG_QUIZ,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"What does RP stands for?"," Real Pussy \n Role Play \n Real Money","Select","Leave Game");
        QuizAnswers[playerid] = 0; // We set the player quiz answers to 0 when he connects.
        return 1;
}

Step 4

Let's scroll down to OnDialogResponse callback.

pawn Code:

public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
    if(dialogid == DIALOG_QUIZ) // If first dialog shows up
    {
        if(!response) return Kick(playerid); // If he click "Leave Game" he will be kicked.
        if(response) // If he click first button
        {
            if(listitem == 0) // If he choose first answer, wich is: Real Pussy
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"Wrong answer!"); // He will get a message that he answered wrong
                QuizAnswers[playerid] += 1; // His quiz answers will be increased with 1 point.
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,DIALOG_QUIZ1,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"It is LOL a frequently used word in role play server?"," Yes \n No, it's a NON-RP word \n LOL I like this word!","Select","Leave Game");  
                // Second question will show up
            }
            if(listitem == 1) // If he choose 2nd answers, which is: Role Play (correct one)
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"That's the correct answer"); // He will get a message that he answered correct
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,DIALOG_QUIZ1,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"It is LOL a frequently used word in role play server?"," Yes \n No, it's a NON-RP word \n LOL I like this word!","Select","Leave Game");  
                // Second question will show up
            }
            if(listitem == 2)
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"Wrong answer!"); // He will get a message that he answered wrong
                QuizAnswers[playerid] += 1; // His quiz answers will be increased with 1 point.
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,DIALOG_QUIZ1,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"It is LOL a frequently used word in role play server?"," Yes \n No, it's a NON-RP word \n LOL I like this word!","Select","Leave Game");  
                // Second question will show up 
            }
        }
    }
    if(dialogid == DIALOG_QUIZ1) // If second dialog shows up
    {
        if(!response) return Kick(playerid); // If he press second button he get kicked
        if(response) // If he press first button
        {
            if(listitem == 0) // If he choose first answer wich is: Yes
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"Wrong answer!"); // He will get a message that he answered wrong
                QuizAnswers[playerid] += 1; // His quiz answers will be increased with 1 point.
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_QUIZ2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"Which /me is used correct?"," /me laughs \n /me rofl \n /me wtf","Select","Leave Game");
                // Next dialog will show up
            }
            if(listitem == 1) // If he choose first answer wich is: No, it's a NON-RP word (correct one)
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"That's the correct answer"); // He will get a message that he answered correct
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_QUIZ2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"Which /me is used correct?"," /me laughs \n /me rofl \n /me wtf","Select","Leave Game");

                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_QUIZ2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"Which /me is used correct?"," /me laughs \n /me rofl \n /me wtf","Select","Leave Game");
                // Next dialog will show up
            }
        }
    }
    if(dialogid == DIALOG_QUIZ2) // If 3rd dialog shows up
    {
        if(!response) return Kick(playerid); // If he click second button he get kicked
        if(response) // If he click first button
        {
            if(listitem == 0) // If he choose first answer wich is: /me laugs (correct one)
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"That's the correct answer");
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_QUIZ3, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"What IC stands for?"," Information Centre \n In Character \n I'm Cool","Select","Leave Game");
                // Next dialog will show up

                }
                if(QuizAnswers[playerid] >= 3) // If he reached 3 wrong answers or more
                {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"Sorry mate, you answered 3 times wrong.Maybe another time");
                    Kick(playerid); // He will be kicked
                }
                else // If he didn't have at least 3 wrong answers
                {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, -1,"Congratulations, you have passed the RP quiz!");
                    SpawnPlayer(playerid);
                    // After the quiz is finish,the player will be spawned, you can change here.
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 1;
}

And now you can have a RP quiz on your server! Change the questions, add more, remove, do whatever you want.

End

If I missed anything, or you didn't understand something please reply.

I see, if he wanted to make it unique, he'd make it for himself instead of having 500+ people doing the same thing.

I find this tutorial actually good, well done Jafet.

The tutorial actually is good; he spent certainly not a little amount of time to do this and explain every line.
I am not familiar with features of the RP servers - I never join one or if I do, I leave after a maximum of 1 minute, so I can't say anything about that.
I like the tutorial though; good job.

Nice tutorial but I think that quiz is in all the servers..
good for begginers
