TOW switch to make things move ?

[Jack Ruby]

Well I need a switch I stole from Berlin to trigger a lock gate to move, it will move one way for allies then same switch will move it in the opposite direction if triggered by axis (well at least thats what I am hoping to do).

Heres a pic from radiant of the thing I want to move:


Heres the script I am using for this switch:

//----------------------------------------------------------
//Turn on/off Flak88's (this will actually be the gate mover but for my purposes it can be called artillerystrike)
//----------------------------------------------------------
artillerystrike:

if( level.bRoundStarted == 1 )
{
if( parm.other.dmteam == axis )
{
if( $Obj_artillerystrike.ControlledBy != 0 )
{
//Flip the switch
thread artillerystrike_switch

//$artillery_radio_speaker playsound radio_on

$Obj_artillerystrike TakeOver 0
//$tower_lights_02 show

//Call in the artillery strike
thread call_artillery_strike

//Give 2 points for taking objective
parm.other AddKills 2

iprintln "The Axis have opened the tunnel blast doors!"
}
}
else if( parm.other.dmteam == allies )
{
if( $Obj_artillerystrike.ControlledBy != 1 )
{
//Flip the switch
thread artillerystrike_switch

$artillery_radio_speaker playsound radio_off

$Obj_artillerystrike TakeOver 1
$tower_lights_02 hide

//Give 2 points for taking objective
parm.other AddKills 2

iprintln "The Allies have closed the tunnel blast doors!"
}
}

//Did anyone win?
thread Check_End_Match

//Update team current objectives
thread set_objectives
}

end

The trigger use in the map right now works correctly as a tow objective but I also need it to move the lockgate.

The trigger_use has these key values:
classname trigger_use
setthread artillerystrike
targetname t879

Could someone adapt this script to move the gate for me ? It would be lovely if you could

[tltrude]

You can add the gate movement to the thread named "artillerystrike_switch:", which you did not show.


$lockgate moveSouth 500 // To open it
$lockgate move // or waitmove


$lockgate moveNorth 500 // To close it
$lockgate move // or waitmove

There should already be some lines for moving the switch, so just add these to make the gate open/close too.

Cheers Tom, that worked perfectly

Thanks a lot m8.

Now I have a couple of other problems.
I have a couple of speakers which were working now they are silent. They were working when they were the only thing in the script, I am now working with the tow script and I'm not sure where to insert the start sounds part.

Heres the start sounds thing:


start_sounds:
$speaker loopsound nutcracker
$speaker1 loopsound torture

Heres my complete script:

[nuggets]

is any of the script working? if not post the logfile

one thing i noticed

//Make sure we get a different path.
while( local.rand2 == local.rand )
{
local.rand2 = randomint 3
}

should be

//Make sure we get a different path.
while( local.rand2 == local.rand )
{
local.rand2 = randomint 4
}

otherwise it won't choose the final path route

Cheers for your interest Nuggets

I stole that whole script from berlin and have now used it for Peenemunde and Maginot now its gonna be Saint Nazaire too. I am crap at scripting and hardly any of it makes sense to me so I am not sure what the part you posted is meant to do, all I can say is the script I posted seems to be working perfectly.

However One of the tow objectives, the Radar one, its a regular tow style switch that can change hands between teams ( they have to control it to win the match ). This is not what I need, I want to convert that switch into a bomb to destroy some fuel tanks that I have not built yet.

If you look at the spawn bombs they register as tow objectives, is there any way to change that Radar one into something similar to the spawn bombs ?

Also that start sounds thing, where should I insert that into the script ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Try starting your sound thread under prespawn and then add a one second wait in the thread before they start. The bottom of the page will be fine.

start_sounds:
wait 1
$speaker loopsound nutcracker
$speaker1 loopsound torture
end

Tom I cant get that sounds thing to work.

Would it be possible for you to take a look at this zip ?

Also I am having another problem, when the winners animation sequence comes on there should be a piece of music played ( not custom just regular mohaa music) but it does not seem to be working. In fact the winners animations are pretty plain and boring, I would love you or someone to spice them up a bit, could I twist your arm to tweak this for me ?

heres a zip incase you have the time and inclination to play around with it. Grab it HERE 3.5mb

Nice one.

I am an idiot, all this time I didnt have the precache.scr in there. So the custom sounds are working fine now.

The winning animation music still does not see to be present

[tltrude]

I'll have a look.

Ok, your line "forcemusic aux2 aux2" is calling for aux2 from the m1l3a.mus file to be played--sound of a higgens boat. And, of course, that is a Mohaa file. It is looking for that file becuse of this line at the top of your script.

exec global/ambient.scr m1l3a


You can make your own .mus file, or try using one for Spearhead. This is how it is set up in the Druckkammern script.

level.music="MP_Druckkammern_TOW"
exec global/ambient.scr

Hope that helps!

Thanks Tom.

I have been trying to get that winning sequence music to play using a .mus file. Its copied from the Berlin.mus. Still not having any success with it.

Heres the script:

path sound/amb_stereo

path sound/music
aux2 mus_allies_success.mp3
aux3 mus_allies_success.mp3
aux4 mus_axis_success.mp3
aux5 mus_axis_success.mp3

!normal volume 1.0
!normal loop
!normal fadetime 1.0

!aux1 volume 1.0
!aux1 loop

!aux2 volume 1.0
!aux2 fadetime 5.0
!aux2 restart

!aux3 volume 0.0
!aux3 fadetime 5.0

!aux4 volume 1.0
!aux4 fadetime 5.0
!aux4 restart

!aux5 volume 0.0
!aux5 fadetime 5.0

I don't have all the Spearhead files or have the game installed, so I can't test it.

What is the difference between your file and the berlin.mus file?
What is your .mus file named?
How is your .mus file called in the main script?
Are those music file in sound/amb_stereo or are they in sound/music?--you have two paths.

Your .mus file should also have, "normal normal" because that is the background sound.

As a test, try these lines at the top of your script.

level.music="MP_Berlin_TOW"
exec global/ambient.scr

[Jack Ruby]

Tom, your idea of using the level.music="MP_Berlin_TOW" worked perfectly.

Cant tell you how grateful I am for your help

thanks BIG time
