.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I don't know the syntax and valid commands for scripting, but I am hoping if I write what I want done in pseudocode, some1 can translate it for me.

ouch: // name of setthread in trigger_multiple

waited = 0 // identifier to give player 20 second delay before damage

while (player.is_in_trigger ...

yes, all sides do. I get visual distortion that you normally get while under water and everything else seems right, just not the bubble trails.

I am making a map where players can go underwater in places, and I am not getting the bubble trails from gunshots like I have seen before. I have seen this in a brush using misc_outside/river texture for example. In my map I am using misc_outside/canal_sludge on a script_object entity (the water ...

I have found a problem with volume damage and delays. Once triggered, the delay starts, and any other players entering the trigger dont get an individual delay time. ex. If player1 enters trigger, 15 seconds later player2 enters the trigger, player2 only get 5 seconds before recieving damage.

So I ...

OK, i should have explained that I am "scripting challenged". I was hoping some1 could spell it out for me here. right now i have a trigger_multiple with targetname harm1 and setthread ouch. (it also has a delay 20 and wait 1 though not really of importance here) In my script I have to following ...

I have a similar problem, my message says "K.I.A. blew up." when I would like it to say "K.I.A. drowned." The thread is called 'ouch' and the trigger_multiple is called 'harm1'. My volume damage is set to 10 (every second).

I don't understand how to apply Elgan's solution, and where to put that ...

bodger, you are right, it works when i dont use static tank, unfortunately the non static tanks available have animated treads, i think i may abandon the whole tank idea, too much trouble

i've got the bomb to set now. problem seems to be that there is a solid invisible box (bounding box?) around the tank. I have checked the non_solid box, but it doesn't make a difference. it sets fine when the explosive is away from the tank, but this is not a solution because solid box must go.

Thanks cheetohs for the tip on jumping big gaps. On 1 map i was seeing many players jumping a gap that i couldn't and i would fall to my death. Now i can do it no problem

nothing in console when i try to set.

as for the scripting, it did work at 1 point, so i am only looking for typos and those types of errors. if it does looks correct in syntax, then it must be a mapping problem.

I had this working, but in the process of fixing other problems, i somehow messed it up. I have an obj explosive made using the "Blow up that multiplayer objective" tutorial on this site. I had tested it and got some nice explosions. Then, after a few alterations to my map and script, I can no ...

I have now tried it put for myself. Worked like a charm.

Thanks tltrude

To reduce the compile times to test the map i am making, i made nearly every brush detailed, reducing my vis compile time to practically nothing. I thought this was a great idea until I tried switching some of the brushes back to structural to bring up my fps. Now when I compile, textures seem to ...

Ok, after a real good think, and looking at the tutorial again, I decided that the most important part to make this happen, was the targetname/exploder key/value. This led me to discover that I'm a complete idiot, as I had the key "targetame" instead of "targetname"...

:oops:

Lesson learned: You ...

I have made a multiplayer obj using the "Blow up that multiplayer objective" in the multiplayer mapping tutorials on this site, using a king tiger tank as the model. I have followed the instructions precisely, only omitting the exploder chunks step. Everything works fine, except for once the ...
