multiple objectives problem (Bjarne)

[solar]

I'm trying to set up 3 objectives, two are exploders and one is a "steal document" obj. So far my first expoder works great and now I'm trying to set up the docs obj but it ain't working. I've looked at Bjarne's tut, but it throws me because he puts in two doc objs. (not your fault I'm a total putz when it comes to scripting, Bjarne). Specifically, the docs aren't even visible so could someone please look at my script and tell me what I've done wrong. Thx.

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1"Blow the fuel farm ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2"Steal the plans ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1"Protect the fuel farm ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2"Secure the plans ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none

try changing level.targets_to_destroy = 2 to level.targets_to_destroy = 3

that may help

[solar]

na, that ain't it. Anyone else wanna take a stab?

spawn in the glowing document tik file, and give it a targetname, so when the trigger is activated the documents look like them are picked up.


waittill triggger
$document delete

as for the rest, sorry...not a master scripter either.

If you have two bombs and a document as the objectives, then the number of targets is three. But, untill you add the second bomb, "level.targets_to_destroy" should be two.

desk_document_check:

$documents_trigger waittill trigger // waits until triggered
local.player = parm.other
if (local.player.dmteam == axis)
{
goto desk_document_check
}
if (local.player.dmteam == allies)
{
$documents playsound snd_papers
wait .2
$documents hide // Make the document disappear
level.targets_destroyed ++ // adds 1 to the number of targets destroyed
}

end


Use the pulsating papers, so player know it is a target and targetname it "documents". The trigger use over the papers must have the targetname "documents_trigger". A bomb going off also adds 1 to the number of targets destroyed.

That's twice you've come through for me Tom. I'm starting to like this Thx

The snd_papers sound works in multiplayer, but it is for showing your papers while in disguise. There is a sound called pickup_papers, but it is not normally multiplayer.
