Can a trigger_multiple's health be checked/printed

[tltrude]

I am trying to make the health of a trigger_multiple an objective, and print it's health on the screen as it goes down. But, it is not going so good because I don't know how to check the trigger's health. The trigger in the map is targetnamed "missle_ex_trigger" and has a health of 4000 (for now) and projectiles set. Any help would be great!

Code: Select all

level waittill prespawn

	level.controlling_team = "neutral"  //do not change
	level.allies_points = 0
	level.axis_points = 0
	level.missle_health = 4000
	level.win_points = 60 // team that gets to this number first wins.

silodoor_waittill_capture:

  while ( $silodoor_trigger )
  {
    $silodoor_trigger waittill trigger
    local.player = parm.other

       	if (local.player.dmteam == level.controlling_team)  //prevents pressing the trigger again
		{
			goto silodoor_waittill_capture
		}
		else
	if (local.player.dmteam == "allies")
		{
			if (level.silodoors == 0)  // if silo doors are closed
				{
				waitthread silodoors_open
				thread check_points
				}
			println "Missile launch is on hold!"
			level.controlling_team = local.player.dmteam
		}
		else
	if (local.player.dmteam == "axis")
		{
			if (level.silodoors == 1) // if silo doors are open
				{
				waitthread silodoors_close
				thread check_points
				}
			println "Missle Launch countdown is running!"
			level.controlling_team = local.player.dmteam

		}

   waitframe // protection
}

		goto check_points
		}
	else
	if ((level.silodoors == 0)) && (level.axis_points <= level.win_points))

	teamwin allies
	}
	wait 10

Holy crap, that's the first time that I've EVER seen tltrude stumped.

I'm not enough of a scripting guru to help, but I wish you good luck in finding the solution.

And sorry for being off-topic.

locprint level.subtitleX level.subtitleY ("Countdown: "+ level.axis_points + "\n" + "Missile health: "+ level.missle_health)

Instead of level.missle_health, can't you just use $missle_ex_trigger.health?

That is something like what I did in my strafe.scr I made a trigger multiple and binded it to the plane for a health entitiy with bullets and projectile flags checked . I then kill the plane based on the health of the trigger .

just a little bit of nonsense to add in as your q's been answered

if nothing is "doing" the thread, (i.e)
$player thread this_or_that

and you just have
thread this_or_that

if you refer to self, it'll be the trigger

Works great! thanks everyone!
