Post by [82nd]CPT.Hitokiri »

Scripting will not screw up your map :shock:

Try to learn at least the basics of scripting. I think it's part of designing a map, and for multiplayer maps scripts can be fairly simple.

Besides, scripting can be a whole lot of fun :D

Quite obviously JV is stark raving bonkers :P but he's got a point about the scripting. I hate it but i'm still forcing my self to continue to learn it because its a neccessary evil

scripting's the d*g's b*ll*cks
for all those unfamiliar to that term it means better than good, so gooder :D

anyway... on a lighter note...

u've gotta do the scripting urself, to actually see something that u've created urself with no help from any1 (except for radiant and MOHcrew) it gives a greate satisfaction,

reading all the sites reviewing ur map and not 1 of them can fault it... what is sweeter in life eh???

if ur having problem with the scripting then keep posting on here what ur stuck with, there's more than enough people who not they're talking about 2 give u a kick start,

also look at the .scr files in the pk3's, they'll show you everything you need 2 know, after a couple of weeks u'll b looking at the script for m1l1 and wonder what the hell MOH were thinking, they don't need half the scripting in there

anyway i'll shut up now so you can read the post below VVV (hopefully some1 else will reply) :P
hope this helps, prob not cos it's all foreign 2 me :-/

scripting rulez!!!! I love scripting!!!

For SP scripting, think like a programmer. For a script, you need to go from top of your map to the bottom.

Spawn
|
|
Add objective
|
|
Do something
|
|
Mission complete.

Think like this how your map's gonna flow. Moreover, threads and waitthreads, gotos or execs, all take an alternate path. For example:
Objective
|
|
complete objective
/ \
/ \
Like Ppl die, or new objectives
enemy
spawns

This is how scripting flows, just like any ordinary C++, VB, Java programming.
