8 years ago What about keeping track of how much time a player is alive, and when somebody kills it, gets a certain number of points based on such time?

8 years ago @Dragonop : I think it would be very demanding on server ressources. Also because this would require action_timers mod which is pretty demanding. And having timers on all players all the time would surely be a lag-machine.
I was more thinking, in the same way, but with the kill counter. The more a player gets killed, the less he is valuable in score.
Maybe a function like :
(1/(xkilled/32))/2 (for it never reaches the 0) or
-0.25*xkilled + 16 with if result <1 result =1

8 years ago @ObaniGemini not at all, you just have to think outside the box,
just use a player-time table (hashmap/dict).
when the player join, store that time (os.time) in the table.
when the player get kill, override that time in the table after adding killed_time - table[player] to the killer score.
also, your first function: (1/(xkilled/32))/2 with if result <1 result =1
doesn't really scale cross lots of matches, after a while, all player would end up only worth 1 point.
your second function: (0.25*xkilled + 16)
just add more worth to player who get killed the most

Just killing noobs shouldn't get you many points.
