How can I make a ranking system? Like a sign that will open a page that has second to second updates on a stat of players. So like lets say the level of everyone thats ever played, how can I keep an updated record of the ammounts people have, no matter what time it is, its always updated.

Cant anyone help?

So I guess that no one has any way to help me. Well if this is impossible on BYOND, they should make it possible.

I'm a newb myself so I'm not sure, but maybe you could have a proc that updates some kind of site or something using sleep()

So like lets say the level of everyone thats ever played, how can I keep an updated record of the ammounts people have, no matter what time it is, its always updated. There's a snag with this: BYOND has no mechanism for the client to tell the server which windows are open and need updating. Or, if a page displays in the main browser control, it then can't tell whether the page is showing. And, if a new browse() is sent, the browser window will try to take over. I agree there should be some mechanism for dealing with this. I think adding a new value to browse()'s second argument might alleviate some of this problem. Lummox JR | |

So theres not really a way to make a ranking system for lets say the max level or something? Making a ranking system is perfectly possible; it's the means you wanted to display it that isn't. Lummox JR | |
what about the built in ranking system? the one you can check off in the publish games section? I don't know how it works, but I think you could use it..
