Yes, that may be the reason why it didnt work the other time

Make sure you did what tltrude said GARRAPIGNADO.

Hi again.

I have some news: I have a problem to run the script.

I put the bsp and the scr into a working pk3 (with another map inside it). The mapa_base script didnt load, but the other did.

I believe that there's no problem with the names, cause they are very simple!!!

I test the script with

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "TEST"

but it didnt work, so, there is a basic problem of scripting, not in your methods.

It must be so basic that I'm can't find it

I tried including
level.script = maps/dm/mapa_base.scr
but it doesnt work.

I surrender. It's silly, but I can't find it

If anyone wants to help me, mailme to garrapignado@hotmail.com, and I'll send him the pk3. It's around 5kb, not big, jejejeje.
But I repit: only if want.

Thanks all. I'll keep asking and answering if I can!

What is your maps name?

GARRAPIGNADO · Post by **GARRAPIGNADO** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 8:30 pm

mapa_base.bsp

And the script is mapa_base.scr

Both in a pk3 with the subfolders maps/dm. Nothing else.

Hmmm, I really dont know whats wrong

Do you use MBuilder as a compiler?

GARRAPIGNADO · Post by **GARRAPIGNADO** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 9:22 pm

Yes, I did.

And pakscape to pk3.

It's strange!

In MBuilder go into "Other Options" and make sure there is a check in the "Copy BSP to map directory after compile." box.

If there is an error in the script the script won't run . What do you have in the console any errors ? Maybe type logfile 1 into the console before you run the map then post the error from qconsole.log that is in main .

You should try what bdbodger said, open up the console and look for errors

GARRAPIGNADO · Post by **GARRAPIGNADO** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 10:26 am

Yes, I have done the logfile 1, but there isn't any visible error.

All the lines are about ubersound and precache.
Only a strange line: R_LevelMarksLoad: maps/dm/mapa_base.dcl not found

But I don't knows what it is.

The problem is that I have other scripts made by me and running well. And this one, worked with other things (a plane, for example), but now not.

Hey guys!!! I've found something. This code doesn't work (the message doesn't show):

Code: Select all

main:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn 

thread boxDrop 

end

boxDrop: 

$switch wattill trigger
$switch nottriggerable
$box physics_on
$box waittill touch
$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage 

end

But this one, shows the message:

Code: Select all

//TEST MAP
//BY GARRAPIGNADO[&Co]
//

main:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn


end

So, the problem is in the dealing of the boxDrop subrutine. I tried with the three you gave me.

(We're near the solution)

Note: anyone of my other scripts uses threads

A silly question:

Is the same if I write in this two ways??

Code: Select all

main: 

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn 

thread boxDrop 

end 

boxDrop: 

$switch wattill trigger 
$switch nottriggerable 
$box physics_on 
$box waittill touch 
$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage 

end

And:

Code: Select all

main: 

         setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn 

         thread boxDrop 

end 

boxDrop: 

           $switch wattill trigger 
           $switch nottriggerable 
           $box physics_on 
           $box waittill touch 
           $box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage 

end

It's only a visual thing, isn't it??

$switch wattill trigger

should be

$switch waittill trigger

MasterMind · Post by **MasterMind** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 1:34 pm

Yes!! bdbodger solved the problem. Change that and its sure to work

GARRAPIGNADO · Post by **GARRAPIGNADO** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 1:50 pm

Oh, thanks bdbodger, that's one of the mistakes, but not the only one

See this. I have disconnected the lines (with //) and then, I have delete a // each time and test the map.

With this code, it show the text:

Code: Select all

main:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn
	thread box_drop 

end 

box_drop: 

//	$switch waittill trigger 
//	$switch nottriggerable 
//	$box physics_on 
//	$box waittill touch 
//	$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage 

end

But, with this one, doesn't show:

Code: Select all

main:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST" 

level waittill spawn
	thread box_drop 

end 

box_drop: 

	$switch waittill trigger  <----see this line
//	$switch nottriggerable 
//	$box physics_on 
//	$box waittill touch 
//	$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage 

end

The solution is a bit nearest thanks to your help!!!
