I've searched on google for vote/poll systems but none of them really helps me. Mainly because they were simple yes/no scripts. System needs to work this way: - It has a file with all allowed maps you can vote for. - When voting starts gather players can use command !vote <mapname> ( Reading allowed maps from file ) this would increase vote count for the map. - It needs to keep count of all voted maps with their names and votes - Voting will be stopped IF one option gets most votes ( maxplayers / 2 + 1 ) My question is how this can be done? I'm not saying that anyone should do it for me i just need some ideas what would be the best way to do this. But if someone is up for scripting it i wouldn't mind a bit. Thanks. EDIT: Managed to do something like this with hash tables and bubble sort type of thing to sort the votes. I'm wondering if there's a better way. Last edited by tpt; 06/01/13 03:10 AM.

You can then read the line number in the result to $hget the information you want. It's very fast. Code: ; Sort hsave -n tablename path\filename filter -ffcuten 2 32 same_path\filename same_path\filename ; Get results ; Note the "N" in the 2 $read is the line number of your results. ; It needs to be replaced with either hard-coded numbers or else a variable ; and then you'd loop through however many you want - Top 5, Top 10, etc. //echo -a $hget(tablename,$gettok($read(same_path\filename,N),1,32)).item //echo -a $gettok($read(same_path\filename,N),2,32) You can use something like that for your sorting. Hash tables are generally a good option for dealing with any kind of scoring system, so it sounds like you probably have a decent script for this. Whether or not any improvements could be made to it wouldn't be known without seeing what you have. *Note: The example above assumes the table is set up with the map as the Item and the number of votes as the Data.

Thats exactly how its set up. Thanks for the script.
