You don't need this to play the map!! But what you wrote seems ok if you want a score board text. And you will need a scr if your map gets more complicated with scripted events and stuff.

Inside the "" in the setcvar lines you can write text that will show up on the score board in game (tab).

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none" can be used if you have a picture for the score board, then replace the "none" with directions to your picture

The exec global door thing is only needed if you have set up doors in you map that should have the "locked sound"

Well then you have a simple scr for your map! As said this is not needed but at least use it to get a score board text. When your maps get more complicated and you start using locked doors, minefields, etc etc then you will have more scripting in the scr!!

Try level.script = "blah blah blah".

Try level.script = "blah blah blah".

Also it is important to put this line above any others like in this example:

Code: Select all

   level waittill prespawn

   thread debugtext ">"
   thread debugtext "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
   thread debugtext "      PRESPAWN !"
   thread debugtext "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
   thread debugtext ">"

   //*** Precache Dm Stuff
   level.script = "maps/dm/ambient_test.scr"

   exec maps/dm/ambient_test_precache.scr
   exec global/ambient_mp.scr ambient_test

because some scripts look at this value during their execution. These here do not, but that is not the cast for all.
