"director_base_addon.nut"

YourTableName <- { function OnGameEvent_player_first_spawn(event) { local player = GetPlayerFromUserID(event.userid); if(player.IsSurvivor()) { if(player.ValidateScriptScope() ) { local player_entityscript = player.GetScriptScope(); player_entityscript["SurvThinker"] <- function() { if(self.GetHealth() < 100) { self.SetHealth(self.GetHealth() + 1); } return 0.5; } } AddThinkToEnt(player, "SurvThinker"); printl("Added 'Survivor Thinker' to "+ player); } } function OnGameEvent_round_start(event) { printl("The 'YOUR MOD NAME' is started..."); } } __CollectGameEventCallbacks(YourTableName);

Now let me explain some of the scripts above:

• "OnGameEvent_player_first_spawn" is an event function triggered only on player's first spawn. It's triggered only on the 1st chapter of a map when starting a map. This is just an example, so, you can use other event functions based on what you need.
  
  
• The "Think Function" starts from "if(player.ValidateScriptScope() )". Just follow the format there until you reach "SurvThinker"
  
  
• That "SurvThinker" is the name of the think function. It can be named anything. What you need to focus is the "self" there
  
  
• "self" there represents the "Think Owner". You can put any scripts there. The example on the scripts above gives health regen to the "Think Owner".
  
  
• "return 0.5;" is about how fast the loop of the "Think Function". "0.5" there means that the loop is repeated every 0.5 second. It means that in 1 second, the "Think Owner" will get +2 health regen in total. The fastest loop of this think function is 0.033 (based on Valve's page).
  
  
• "AddThinkToEnt(player, "SurvThinker");" is to finalize the "Think Function" by adding the think function on the entity (on the example, it's the survivor.).
  
  
• After you're done in making the event function, don't forget to add this "__CollectGameEventCallbacks(YourTableName);" to finalize the making of the script mod.
  
  
• Now your mod with "Think Function" via "director_base_addon.nut" is ready.

"mapspawn_addon.nut"

function OnGameEvent_player_first_spawn(event) { local player = GetPlayerFromUserID(event.userid); if(player.IsSurvivor()) { if(player.ValidateScriptScope() ) { local player_entityscript = player.GetScriptScope(); player_entityscript["SurvThinker"] <- function() { if(self.GetHealth() < 100) { self.SetHealth(self.GetHealth() + 1); } return 0.5; } } AddThinkToEnt(player, "SurvThinker"); printl("Added 'Survivor Thinker' to "+ player); } } function OnGameEvent_round_start(event) { printl("The 'YOUR MOD NAME' is started..."); }

"mapspawn_addon.nut" is much simpler to use, as you only need to list the scripts & event functions & they'll run automatically. There are several forms that can be used & also another way to make "Think Function", like:

• Alternative 1:
  function YourThinkName() { for(local player; player = Entities.FindByClassname(player, "player"); ) { if(player.IsSurvivor() && !player.IsDead()) { if(player.GetHealth() < 100) { player.SetHealth(player.GetHealth() + 1); } } } return 0.5; } function OnGameEvent_round_start(event) { printl("The 'YOUR MOD NAME' is started..."); AddThinkToEnt(self, "YourThinkName"); }
  This "Alternative 1" makes use of the entity used on "mapspawn_addon.nut" (it's "env_soundscape_triggerable") to trigger the "Think Function". The "self" there refers to the "env_soundscape_triggerable". To put it simply, this method gives that "env_soundscape_triggerable" a "Think Function" with loop in every 0.5 second
  
  
• Alternative 2:
  function YourThinkName() { for(local player; player = Entities.FindByClassname(player, "player"); ) { if(player.IsSurvivor() && !player.IsDead()) { if(player.GetHealth() < 100) { player.SetHealth(player.GetHealth() + 1); } } } EntFire("!self", "CallScriptFunction", "YourThinkName", 0.5); } function YourThinkName2() { for(local player; player = Entities.FindByClassname(player, "player"); ) { //Gives health regen to special infected & tank if(player.GetZombieType() <= 8 && !player.IsDead()) { if(player.GetHealth() < 100) { player.SetHealth(player.GetHealth() + 100); } } } EntFire("!self", "CallScriptFunction", "YourThinkName2", 0.5); } function OnGameEvent_round_start(event) { printl("The 'YOUR MOD NAME' is started..."); EntFire("!self", "CallScriptFunction", "YourThinkName", 0.5); EntFire("!self", "CallScriptFunction", "YourThinkName2", 0.5); }
  As you can see, there's a new one here, "EntFire". This one is another method to trigger "Think Function". This one has a benefit in its capability of making more than one "Think Function". The "EntFire" put on the bottom of each function ("YourThinkName" & "YourThinkName2") works as the loop to repeat every 0.5 second
