How would I change the objective?

[Lt. Striker]

Sorry this is probally a dumb question but I suck at scripting. I read the objectives tutorial and was wondering how would I change that objective to a different one and make it end after that is completed?

[Serph]

as you said i suck at scripting..... try the scripting forum...

as for your question, im not to great at scripting either but plenty of wise men in the scripting forum

Yuo need to be more exact: What do you have and what do you want?

[Lt. Striker]

On the tutorial it shows you the script to make it have an objective but the objective is go through the door and beyond. How would I change that to something like if I added some AIs how would I change the objective to Eliminate AIs and have the level end after they do eliminate all the AIs?

[Serph]

why not make it when the all ai are dead, they have to go to an exit..

[Lt. Striker]

Well how would I make it so that they cant go out the exit until all the ai are dead?

well if all ai have the same name such as $badguys then what you could do is put a brush with the clip texture on it in front of the door and make it a script object . Give it a targetname such as $doorclip and put a trigger_use in front of that give that a name such as $doorlock_trigger . Then do this for the trigger

key:setthread value:lockthread

main:
thread door
end

door:
while !($badguys.size<1)
waitframe
$doorclip remove
$doorlock_trigger remove
end

lockthread:
self playsound door_wood_locked_clue
end

also if you spawn your ai with the global/ai.scr it makes a variable called level.totalbaddies that is equal to the number of spwaned ai that are alive.

while !($badguys.size<1)
waitframe

Well actually this waits till all dead bodies of the badguys have dissappeared. Something like this may be better:

Code: Select all

while !(local.ok)
{
  local.ok = 1
  for(local.i = 1; local.i <= $badguys.size; local.i++)
  {
    if(isAlive $badguys[local.i])
    {
      local.ok = 0
      break
    }
  }
  waitframe
}

Ok thanks I will try that.
