Alright script wizards...

[Gen Cobra]

Here is one I could really use some guidance on. I want to execute my own mission complete at the end of my singleplayer campaign. Like the stats at the end when you complete a mission. I realize that it's

Code: Select all

$player endlevel

for the script to call it the end of the level and trigger the complete screen...

But how can I get my own image to appear on the mission complete screen with the music mus_berlin in the music folder to play?

Anyone?

You can probably change the picture, just like for the loading screen.

statsscreen_success.urc
statsscreen_failed.urc

For the music, I don't think you can with these screens. If you are determined, you could make your own "credits_data" script like the one used in the game. That script has a tutorial built into it and is where the background image is called. The code below is form the last mission script (m6l3e.scr) in the game. That script is in pak5.pk3.

Code: Select all

That's funny because that script was the first place I looked when trying this. I dont want to alter the original mission success urc because that would mean you would see my picture on all success you may have in the game.

I'm no scripting wizard for sure. I'm alright at it but that roll credits tutorial is not for me for sure. Anyone willing to help write this thing please help because it would be a welcome ending to such a long campaign.

You can make your own urc for the end of your level do a show menu then do a bsptransition to the next map bypassing the level end screen like they do from one part of a mission to the next within the same mission . The SDK says

bsptransition( String next_map )


Transitions to the next BSP. Keeps player data, and game data.

and

leveltransition( String next_map )


Transitions to the next Level. Statistics to Map Loading, does not keep player data or game data.

do as Tom said and add
if (level.script == "your_map_name.scr")
{//do what tom said
}
