Multiple objects

[PsychoE]

I would like to script an sp map for AA with 2 obj's. The 1st one i want is for the player to find explosives. The second i want is the player to blow something up. The second one i can do no prob using the tuts, but adding the first one to find and add the explosives to the inventory, i can't do.

How do i add this into my objectives, get the player there, and add the explosives to my inventory. Then how do i remove this obj, and move to the second one? Any quickie scripts i can try?

Thanks

I still suck at scripting and understanding the scripting language.

Picking up bombs would be like picking up documents, and there is a tutorial for that. If you want the bombs to show up on the screen (hud) it will be a little harder. Your best bet is to find a singleplay script in the game that has it, and just copy the lines--I think the second mission had it.

Use global/items.scr for the hud icon.

I have no problem getting any of these tuts to work on their own, but once i try and add another objective things go screwy.

I tried playing around with the scripting language, but can't get them both to work.

Is there something I can read about having more than 1 objective, and the commands that go with it? Something basic and easy to understand for ppl who have a hard time with scripting.

here is my script. I got both objectives playing, but not properly. I am getting explosives off the start, I know why but don't know how to fix. Plus when 1 obj is complete, it doesn't show the 'x' in the box under objectives tab. Not really for this forum, but explosive2.tik isn't showing in the map when running around.

if you have a setthread called "explosive", then you needn't need a thread.

Easy enough. That fixed the one prob. Next is how do i get that x to appear when an obj is complete?
