How to use an entire dm team?

"nuggets" has that effect on a lot of people, ha ha. Maybe this will help:

"++" = adds one to the variable
"--" = subtracts one from the variable

To understand his script, follow the "setthread" that the trigger will run when a player enters it.

i may confuse people but the problme gets sorted, well sometimes, no i'm lying it usually gets wrong and tltrude comes to the rescue

, but i was in a rush to get out last night

well in summary you'd need something like this

trigger->multiple
key: targetname
value: area_trigger
key: setthread
value: im_here

main:
level.allies_counters = 0 //sets the count of number of allies trying to activate the counter
level.axis_counters = 0 //sets the count of the number of axis trying to activate the counter
end

im here:
local.player = parm.other

if (local.player.dmteam == "allies") //if triggerer = allies and
{ if ( local.player.were_counting == 1 ) //he hasn't already started coutning
{ local.player.were_counting = 1 //tells him he's now counting
local.player.counter = 0 //gives him a starting count
local.player thread count_me_in_im_an_ally //goes to the counting thread
level.allied_counters++ }} //let's the game know there's an ally counting

if (local.player.dmteam == "axis") //all the same but for axis
{ if ( local.player.were_counting == 1 )
{ local.player.were_counting = 1
local.player.counter = 0
local.player thread count_me_in_im_an_axis
level.axis_counters++ }}
end

count_me_in_im_an_ally:
if ( level.axis_counters == 0 ) //if any axis are counting, he can't count
{ if ( self istouching $area_trigger ) //if he's touching the trigger keep counting
{ if ( self.counter < 30 ) //if he hasn't reached the time limit keep counting
{ self.counter++ //add 1 to the counter
wait 1 //wait's a second
self thread count_me_in_im_an_ally //restarts the thread
end}
else //if time limit has been reached
{teamwin allies //allies win
wait 1
end}
local.player.were_counting = 0 //if not touching anymore, tell him he's not counting
level.allies_counters--} //minus 1 from the total number of allies counting
}

count_me_in_im_an_axis:
if ( level.allies_counters == 0 )
{ if ( self istouching $area_trigger )
{ if ( self.counter < 30 )
{ self.counter++
wait 1
self thread count_me_in_im_an_axis
end}
else
{teamwin axis
wait 1
end}
local.player.were_counting = 0
level.axis_counters--}
}

left out an s:

level.axis_counters = 0

OK, I give up, lol

I'm too retarded to get this script to work. The script loads, without any hitch, but the obj just doesn't work.

Here's what I've been working with (maybe someone can point me in the right direction):

// Title: Kuwaiti City-King of the Hill Version
// Architecture: TheShiznaeSpe
// Scripting: TheShiznaeSpe, tltrude, and KOTH by nuggets!!!!

main:

level.allies_counters = 0 //sets the count of number of allies trying to activate the counter
level.axis_counters = 0 //sets the count of the number of axis trying to activate the counter
$iraq_indicator show
$us_indicator show
iprintln "Target building EMPTY."

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "-Hold the"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "target"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "building"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "-Hold the"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "target"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "building"

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

level waittill prespawn

//exec global/DMprecache.scr

level.script = maps/obj/OBJ_Kuwaiti_City_koth.scr

level waittill spawn

level.dmrespawning = 1
level.dmroundlimit = 20
level.clockside = draw

//level waittill roundstart
end

im_here:
local.player = parm.other

if (local.player.dmteam == "allies") //if triggerer = allies and
{
if ( local.player.were_counting == 1 ) //he hasn't already started coutning
{
local.player.were_counting = 1 //tells him he's now counting
local.player.counter = 0 //gives him a starting count
local.player thread count_me_in_im_an_ally //goes to the counting thread
iprintln "US has entered and is holding the target buidling."
$iraq_indicator hide
$us_indicator show
level.allied_counters++
}
} //let's the game know there's an ally counting

if (local.player.dmteam == "axis") //all the same but for axis
{
if ( local.player.were_counting == 1 )
{
local.player.were_counting = 1
local.player.counter = 0
local.player thread count_me_in_im_an_axis
iprintln "IRAQ has entered and is holding the target buidling."
$iraq_indicator show
$us_indicator hide
level.axis_counters++
}
}
end

count_me_in_im_an_ally:
if ( level.axis_counters == 0 ) //if any axis are counting, he can't count
{
if ( self istouching $target_building_trigger ) //if he's touching the trigger keep counting

{

wait 1 //wait's a second

end
}
else //if time limit has been reached
{
teamwin allies //allies win
iprintln "U.S. WINS!!!"
//local.player addkills 1
local.player stufftext "I was the KING!"
wait 1
end
}
local.player.were_counting = 0 //if not touching anymore, tell him he's not counting
level.allies_counters--
} //minus 1 from the total number of allies counting
}

count_me_in_im_an_axis:
if ( level.allies_counters == 0 )
{
if ( self istouching $target_building_trigger )
{
if ( self.counter < 30 )
{
self.counter++
wait 1
self thread count_me_in_im_an_axis
end
}
else
{
teamwin axis
iprintln "IRAQ WINS!!!"
//local.player addkills 1
local.player stufftext "I was the KING!"
wait 1
end}
local.player.were_counting = 0
level.axis_counters--
}
}

Yes, I've tried it the way nuggets wrote it, without the line breaks. It didn't work.

Possible brainstorming ideas:

Should there be an "end" at the bottom of count_me_in_im_an_axis and count_me_in_im_an_ally?

Do level.allies_counters = 0 and level.axis_counters = 0 need a definition?

hmm

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 6:16 pm

oops forgot the ends

you can either send me the map, and i'll have a closer look or put println's in and find where it's breaking

the level.allies_counters and level.axis_counters are just making sure that there's no-one on the other team counting

e-mail below (unless it's spearhead) then don't e-mail

ok, thanks, i'm emailing it now

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Sun Jun 29, 2003 4:56 pm

got it, time to start debugging

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Sun Jun 29, 2003 8:15 pm

right then, nearly there, couple of errors in my script

if you want only 1 person to of waited 30 seconds then it's kinda ok, but i'm guessing from looking at the size of the building as long as one team member is still remaining at the end of 30 seconds and no enemies in there, then they'll win, so...

create outside the 3 doors to the building trigger->multiple

lol will my be in??

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 11:11 am

yeah, put the ends in

TheShiznaeSpe · Post by **TheShiznaeSpe** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 4:44 pm

so:

local.player.were_counting = 0
level.axis_counters--
}
}
end

or

local.player.were_counting = 0
level.axis_counters--
end
}
}

The second one, right?

TheShiznaeSpe · Post by **TheShiznaeSpe** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 4:45 pm

Yes rox, u better be lol

And u guys will also be credited in trench rats because i'm adapting this script for a new gametype there

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 9:04 pm

i think both will work, can't really check now, i have chips

use the 1st one as that's a definate, but i'm 99% sure the 2nd will
