Multiple document objectives?

[GrimReaper]

Alright,I got the bomb to set and blow up but when it did nothing happened...the allies didnt win.Also only when I get the documents the allies win.When I get the documents first Allies win..if I get the last allies win?so i must have some little thing wrong but i have no idea

         $documents hide 
         // break out of the while loop

      }

Also on the tutorials at the bottom it has like the download thing...well I took the 4 peices that are apart that go to the panel and they have the blue lines coming from the script object or script origin. ...why can I see the 4 pieces that are supposed to been seen after the explosion?

[Axion]

Code: Select all

level.targets_to_destroy = 1 // Number of targets in this map

Try changing that to 2 instead of 1.

[Bjarne BZR]

why can I see the 4 pieces that are supposed to been seen after the explosion?

If there is an error in the explosion setup: the explosion debris are not hidden by the exploder system, so something is wrong.

But you say the bomb works? Can you blow it up?

Your script has no allies_win_bomb method... did you forget to copy it?


Oh, and changing level.targets_to_destroy = 1 to 2 will not help, only make the allies unable to win by blowing the bomb later,

[Axion]

If you are trying to have both a bomb and document objective, this script should work.

Code: Select all

 
   main:

   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Your text goes in here..."
   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "...and here..."
   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "...and here..."
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "...and so on..."
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "...and so forth..."
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "get the point?"

   setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

Oh, and changing level.targets_to_destroy = 1 to 2 will not help, only make the allies unable to win by blowing the bomb later,

But in your tutorial for combining multiple objective types, you said to use the exploder system's varaiable level.targets_destroyed and set the variable level.targets_to_destroy to 2, so then there would be no need to change the allies win method from the bomb tutorial.

Now I'm confused.

Yes, but I was in the middle of teaching GrimReaper how to do it by himself, and in the script as it was then, it was not enough to just increase the variable to 2. I was making sure that both objectives worked before taking the next step.

[Axion]

Ahh. I understand now, and I'm sorry if I interrupted your lesson.

[GrimReaper]

Yes it blows up.But the allies only win if they do documents...and I started a new map which doesnt make a difference so continue.

[Bjarne BZR]

I'm sorry if I interrupted your lesson.

Dude, you were trying to help. Cant really see anything to be ashamed of

OK: GrandRapper:
- The bomb works, BUT it does not make the allies win.
- The docs works AND it makes the allies win.

And we have the script as it looked in your last post:

Code: Select all

// Custom objective test map
// ARCHITECTURE: GrimReaper
// SCRIPTING: GrimReaper
main:

   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Steal the documents."
   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "- Go get them"
   setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "- U know U want to"
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "Prevent the allies"
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "from stealing the"
   setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "documents."

   setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

   level waittill prespawn

   // There is no OBJprecache.scr
   exec global/DMprecache.scr

   level.script = maps/obj/objtest.scr

   // m6l1a is a blowing wnind sound
  exec global/ambient.scr obj_team2
  thread global/exploder.scr::main
   
   level waittill spawn
   // Axis like the bombs unplanted 
   level.defusing_team = "axis"
   // Allies will try to plant the bombs
   level.planting_team = "allies"
   // Number of targets in this map
   level.targets_to_destroy = 1
   // Default damage of the bomb
   level.bomb_damage = 200
   // Default radius of bomb blast
   level.bomb_explosion_radius = 2048



   // Set the parameters for round based match
   // 1 or 0 (0=no respawn)
   level.dmrespawning = 0
   // round time limit in minutes
   level.dmroundlimit = 5
   // axis, allies, kills, or draw
   level.clockside = axis

   // Comment out this line to be able to set the bomb
   // when alone on the map ( just for testing )
   // level waittill roundstart

    // "panel_bomb" is the targetname set on the bomb in MOHRadiant
   $panel_bomb thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
   // Start the win check thread for allies
   thread allies_win_bomb
   // Start the win check thread for axis
   $panel_bomb thread axis_win_timer

   // Start the win check thread for allies
   thread desk_document_check

   // If the end of the match is reached, the Axis win
   level waittill axiswin

end // end of main

// Document checks
desk_document_check:
   while(1) { // forever
      // Dont execute past this line
      // until someone triggers the object
      $documents_trigger waittill trigger
      // parm.other is the triggerer
      if(parm.other.dmteam == allies) {
         // Make the document graphix disappear
         $documents hide
         // break out of the while loop
         break
      }
      // protection against making this
      // thread use too much CPU
      waitframe
   }
   // Make allies win the match
   teamwin allies
// end allies victory test
end

OK: First: there is no instructions on how the blowing of the bomb should make the allies win... this becaus eyou did not copy this method from the bomb tutorial:

Code: Select all

allies_win_bomb:
    // While undestroyed objectives left
   while(level.targets_destroyed < level.targets_to_destroy)
   {
       // chill out
      waitframe
   }
    // No objectives left allies win
   teamwin allies
// end allied victory test
end

... you do call the method in your script with this line

Code: Select all

thread allies_win_bomb

... but mohaa can't find it.

OK: now you should be able to blow the bomb.

Next step is to make them work together. And this is simplest done as Axion said: Because the exploder system uses the variable level.targets_destroyed to keep track of the number of exploded bombs, we can use this. Set the variable level.targets_to_destroy in your script to 2 instead of 1.

Almost there now... stealing the documents still makes the allies win immediately. So instead of using the line

Code: Select all

teamwin allies

in the desk_document_check method, replace it with

Code: Select all

level.targets_destroyed++

to increase the variables value with 1 when the allies steal it...

That should work like you want it now...

[GrimReaper]

I dont idsactly know where I have to put

Code: Select all

// Allied victory test
allies_win_bomb:
	// While undestroyed objectives left
	while(level.targets_destroyed < level.targets_to_destroy)
		// chill out
		waitframe
	// No objectives left allies win
	teamwin allies
end // end allied victory test

that.I think thats what is screwing me up the most not knowing where to put the different things that are coded in your tutorials into my script.I see where it sais

Code: Select all

thread allies_win_bomb

But dont know if thats where I put this

Code: Select all

// Allied victory test
allies_win_bomb:
	// While undestroyed objectives left
	while(level.targets_destroyed < level.targets_to_destroy)
		// chill out
		waitframe
	// No objectives left allies win
	teamwin allies
end // end allied victory test

[Axion]

Look at the code I posted, everything is in the proper location. I've already tested that script on one of my maps that has a document and explosion objective, and it works.

[Bjarne BZR]

Everything starting with any_name: and ending with end is a method, a separate block of code that you can call from other locations. If you look at any scipt you will see at least one such method: the main: method. Mohaa calls the main method to execute your script. so to insert a new method ( like this allies_win_bomb: ), just put it after the last end in your script.

And read up on scripting in general here.

Alright,sry it took me so long to reply but I started to make a new map because my old one was way wrong:P.But anyways it all works thanks everyone!
