.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Nothing on putting a corona on a func beam? The lighthouse & spotlight threads seemed to be good starts...no suggestions? Similarly, now that I look at it...my lightning seems to originate from my given locations...but always has ( 0, 0, 0 ) as its destination.

I guess this is not my highest ...

I think this can be done, but I've just got the syntax wrong. The idea is to allow the standard weapons on all maps...BUT thru rcon to change what weapons are allowed on the following maps by changing a variable I create in the cfg.

So for example...server boots with a variable "snipes" set to 0 ...

Just make the corona at the location of the func_beam and then hide it . Show it when you activate the beam for a moment then hide it again . For damage you can do a trace from the func_beam to a spot below the terrain where the trace hits is were you do the damage .

Like I'd said, I've never ...

I'm not very surprised by the shoot thing. I'd never seen it used before. Perhaps the coords could be fed to the ground location and an explosion triggered there with no visible effects but the damage params kept intact? (or better yet...maybe WITH the dirt & ground blast shaders - but no other ...

while(1) {
local.random = randomint(level.beam.size)
wait 6
level.beam[local.random].shootradius = 50
level.beam[local.random] activate
level.beam playsound thunder1
wait .1
level.beam[local.random] deactivate
wait 15
}

or

for(local.b = 0;local.b < level.lightning.size;local.b++)
{
level.beam ...

Try making a simple shader for the picture, I think that might help.

I figured it out on my own but I think u hit it right on the head! To use 2 different pictures I needed to make 2 shaders in the mapname.shader file in the scripts directory. I'm not real familiar with the terminology for load ...

Thanks. I'll try comparing to the other scoreboard pics, but I caught this advice in your previous posts & I'm sure I'm just screwing something up along the line here -- maybe if I step away & come back to try the whole thing from scratch.

As long as I've got you here though I figured I'd pass ...

Amazingly I can get the main loading screen pic to work, but can't get the corner scoreboardpic to work.

I've tried several times as both a .tga, .tga with alpha, .jpg, and I've tried different sizes & picture qualities. I'd like to use the same 512x512 pic that is showing on my loading screen. I ...

That got it. I knew it was me & my stoopid syntax.

Thanks (and you got back to me SOOOO fast!)

Hi all,

This is probably a mere question of syntax but after LOTS of trial & error I am stumped. The background is I am spawning an MG42 into a stock map. The positioning is fine, the gun operates ok, but I am unable to limit it's movement & range of fire. Look below the code for the different ...

That idea had come up in our discussion but sounded way more complex than we were willing to get. Sounds like with lazy clients that aren't willing to d/l map packs, it would be impossible to pull off.

Thanks for the discussion though, really appreciate your insights!

first post...forgive the neophyte.

I don't do mapping or skinning...I just do minor scripting & easy to work with mods but a question came up around halloween & a friend & I got into a conversation about it (neither of us knows the answer.)

The idea came up for a halloween map with tombstones ...
