Moving triggers

[UZZIEL]

HI!

Ive been lookin around that forum. A lot of threads n posts helped me to
solve my problems.

There are now 2 probz i cant?t solve even with combinining different threads.

1. I want to move objects but they should have the ability to print a
message if triggered by a bullet. I tried to move trigger_multiple and
noticed its not movable (NULL listener) also not skinnable. What should
I do?

2. What kind of language is used for scripting (c/c++) ?

thx for ya help

(sorry for my bad english - im from germany)

Hmm check your targetnames if you get the NULL listener error.

The scripting language is called 'morpheus'.

[nihilo]

'morpheus,' really? Thought it was java. It's alot like java anyway.

sorry im a noob im mapping my 2nd week - so i dont understand what you mean by targetname checking. In what dependende should my trigger_multiple be connected by triggername? I thought trigger_multiple are not movable by commands like: "moveNorth xxx" etc.

can you give me an example plzzzz ?

im kinda too dumb or too noobish what to look exactly after.

No you can't move a trigger with the regular move commands. However, you can glue it to a moving script_object. You can also just change the location of the trigger every frame with either the origin or setsize commands.

Probably the first way is easiest. Create a script_object with key / value 'targetname' / 'object' and a trigger_multiple with key / value 'targetname' 'trigger'. Just place them over each other, give them both the common/trigger texture.

In your script type:

Code: Select all

$trigger glue $object
$object whatevermovecommandyouwant

You can also use:

$my_trigger bind $my_object
$my_object moveNorth xxx
$my_object move // or waitmove

I tried to move a higgins like Omaha, but it didnt work out that well.

1)If i used a normal vehicle, they said "moveto applied to NULL listener"
2)if i used a script model, it works, but I get stuck on top and can't fall in. At least it moves.

bind and glue have different uses, even though they do the same thing

glue will have to be used for triggers

[UZZIEL]

i used the proposed glue command
the same on bind

on togglemenu lveldesign i saw
both dont moved together
the trigger stands still while de script object is moving

Should i use another type of trigger? - then what one if it has to react on bullets?

[tltrude]

Bind works and I can prove it. Download this tutorial map and put the PK3 in your MOHAA/main folder. The map will be under Team Deathmatch.

The map file and a text copy of the script are included. I used trigger_multiple(s) with the damage flag set and used "bind" in the script to attach them to the MOVING targets. A message pops up when you hit a target. I think UZZIEL's problem is that he does not know how to add targetnames to things in his map.

ahahah lalalalal ahahahah

:D:D:D:

IT WORKS!!

It was not the problem of targeting ( i know how it works) even more of gluing.
Since this was my first time to "glue" i didnt know that multiple glues are not allowed so it hasnt moved.
eg:

$trigger1 glue $object
$trigger2 glue $object
$trigger3 glue $object

I removed all trigger binds and left just one in.

$trigger1 glue $object

- it worked.

Now Im happy
thx a lot

That Mappingfever is curious

ps: thx 4 bots jv_map ill try to improve them by "hit ststistics" like in real

you could use more than 1 moving object if u wanted 2,

just use

$trigger1 glue $object1
$trigger2 glue $object2
$trigger3 glue $object3

giving each object seperate targetnames
