Here is a usable Flak88 with one problem...any ideas?

[IvanTheTerrible]

Am I to assume that in my case I would replace <player ent> with local.player so that I get local.player ammo heavy 1. If that is indeed the case, I've tried it to no avail. I'm tearing my hair out...I thought I was so close.

i think there is a map already that has a working flak in it,u can find it at the map release section .the name is king tiger map(i think).its an objective map with 4 tanks and a flak 4 each team.the ammo is 5 and appears every 30 secs(i think).maybe u could dload it and take a look at the script

[IvanTheTerrible]

Thank's anyway M&M, but I need to accomplish this entirely by scripting. I want to add the Flak88 to a standard map--King Tiger is a custom map. There are shader files in it that cannot be transfered to a standard map. These files are what make the Flak work correctly in the custom map.

This flak88turret.tik works fine on my local machine, but when I upload it to the server it seems as though the animation goes into a perpetual loop. The flash around the muzzle stays there because the animation is looping so fast...at least that's the way it appears. The sound is looping just as quickly.

So could I use this script to function a Flak 88 on my custom??

[neillomax]

local.mg421 = spawn models/statweapons/P_flak88.tik
local.mg421.origin = ( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
local.mg421.angle = 165
local.mg421 yawCenter 165
local.mg421 maxyawoffset 40

put in your own origin............. OR


// ARCHITECTURE: Bjarne Gr?nnevik
// SCRIPTING: Bjarne Gr?nnevik
spawn_a_flak88:
// Spawn a script model and give it a targetname
local.flak = spawn script_model "targetname" "flak88"
// Set the model to be drawn/used
local.flak model "statweapons/flak88turret.tik"
// Set where it should be
local.flak.origin = ( -100.0 .0 0.0 )
// Set where it should point at
local.flak.angles = ( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
// Set how big it should be
local.flak.scale = 1.0
// Create the trigger and give it a targetname
local.trigger = spawn trigger_use "setthread" "fire_flak88"
// Set where it should be
local.trigger.origin = ( 0.0 100.0 0.0 )
// Set the size of it
local.trigger setsize ( -50 -50 -50 ) ( 50 50 50 )
end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And to initiate the spawning of the Flak88, write this in the main method ( after level waittill prespawn )

Thank you very much!
