Would this work?

[Alcoholic]

lets said i had a variable "level.continue = 0" after 20 seconds, it becomes "level.continue = 1". if i had a trigger that calls a thread in a script, would this line work?

self waittill level.continue == 1

???

main:
waittill spawn
level.your_count = 0 // this line probably not needed unless it's doing something else while false (0)
wait 20
level.your_count = 1
end

try this:

self waittill (level.continue == 1)

You need to explain better what you are trying to do.

i want to pass thru a trigger. the trigger sets a thread named "blah". when teh trigger is set, it WAITS until a variable is changed to 1 before executing. the variable is changed to 1 when the captain is at a specific trigger. i want to do this so that you cant just run ahead of your captain and screw up all the scripted events.

Why not just turn the trigger off untill the captain gets there?

$mytrigger nottriggerable
$mytrigger triggerable

Also, how does your script know the captain is at the right spot? AI can't trip triggers, but you can set an origin as his destination. I'm probably not the right guy to ask about this stuff. Which singleplayer script are you using as a guide?

if (level.captain istouching $trigger)
{
iprintln captain is at trigger
end
}

im not using a ref script, i just got this idea because alot of people rush thru a map and mess up all the scripted sequences.
i got the istouching thing from m1l1

The easiest way is the following:

Code: Select all

while(level.continue != 1)
  waitframe

Use what jv_map has and put the self stuff below it. You can add this to your captain thread:

if (level.captain istouching $trigger)
{
iprintln "captain is at trigger"
level.continue = 1
end
}

That is not a very original targetname for a trigger, ha ha. In most scripts they call the captain "level.friendly1", I think.

I go along with JV , simple does the trick just what you need .

{
iprintln "captain is at trigger"
level.continue = 1
end
}

in your script, you can give them an alias. i typed:

level.captain = level.friendly1

its easier for me because later i wont remember which friendly is which.
