Past couple scripts havnt been working ~ PLZ HELP!

Post by HDL_CinC_Dragon »

Here are all my targetnames and things like that. They are 100% exactly what I have entered into Radiant right down to the capitalization.

Script > Object
Key: targetname
Value: Fan1

Script > Object
Key: targetname
Value: Fan2

Script > Object
Key: targetname
Value: Fan3

Script > Object
Key: targetname
Value: Lift

Script > Object
Key: targetname
Value: Blast_Door

Trigger > Use
Key: targetname
Value: Fan_Start

Trigger > Use
Key: targetname
Value: Lift_Trigger

Trigger > Use
Key: targetname
Value: Blast_Door_Opener

Worldspawn
Key: ambientlight
Value: 70 70 70
-Key: suncolor
-Value: 70 70 70
--Key: script
--Value: HDL_Testing_Site.scr

Ok, now for my script: (sry if its a bit long but this problem is frustrating)

Main:

Thread Lift_Ops
$Lift time 3

Thread Blast_Door_Ops
$Blast_Door time 3

Thread Fan_Ops
$Fan1 time 5

$Fan3 time 2

Lift_Ops:
$Lift_Trigger waittill trigger
$Lift_Trigger nottriggerable
$Lift_Switch anim move

wait 3

$Lift loopsound Mec_ElevatorRun_01
$Lift moveup 504
waitmove
$Lift stoploopsound

wait 5

$Lift loopsound Mec_ElevatorRun_01
$Lift movedown 504
waitmove
$Lift stoploopsound
wait 3
$Lift_Trigger triggerable
$Lift_Switch anim move
goto Lift_Ops
end

Blast_Door_Ops:
$Blast_Door_Opener waittill trigger
$Blast_Door_Opener nottriggerable

Blast_Door_Opener triggerable
goto Blast_Door_Ops
end

Fan_Ops_Start:
$Fan_Start waittill trigger
$Fan_Start nottriggerable
wait 5
goto Fan_Ops
end

Fan_Ops:
iprintlnbold_noloc "Fans 2 and 3 comming online - please wait"

goto Fan_Ops_Start
end

Map title: HDL_Testing_Site
Script title: HDL_Testing_Site.scr

.Map folder = main/maps/dm
.SCR folder = main/maps/dm

The Problem= Not one single scripted event happens when I press any of the triggers.


P.S. My clan name is now HDL and has been for quite some time, thougnt I'd just inform you of that irrelevant info... HDL = Home Defense Legion
Population: 3

I think it's both. :P

I read through it and it doesn't look like he stated what the problem is.

Wait a second, you are the almighty JV, you shouldn't have to know what the problem is. You should be able to spot it as soon as you see it! What's wrong with you! :P

Na I was just kidding :P ... one of the errors is that Thread should be written in lowercase, like 'thread'... but there's probably more problems :?

Ah found another one :D

You shouldn't just type 'waitmove' but prefix the object you want the script to wait for, like '$Lift waitmove'.

Also I think you need an 'end' above Lift_Ops: but I'm still trying to find out where all the gotos refer to :wink:

:sigh: nothing new, nothing happens





I have a hunch, In progress---

My hunch was that maybe it dosnt like capital letters so I made EVERY SINGLE letter lower case both in the script and in Radiant. Nothing happened yet again.

that is very odd. I dont know why that would happene either. But in this particular map of mine I have no LOD terrain... I dont like LOD too much... dont know why. Unfortunatly i have to use it in one of the maps im making that based on a town from an online RPG called "Runescape" (http://www.runescape.com) but yeah. Thats pretty strange.

Script

Post by tltrude »

Never use caps in scripting, it only cause problems with syntax. OK, if this script does not work, it is because you have different targetnames in the map, or the bsp and scr do not have the same name. The lift sound wont work because you have no workaround for that (singleplayer only) sound alias. Is the map MOHAA?

Code: Select all

// HDL_Testing_Site
// ARCHITECTURE: [HDL]-{Gen} Dragon
// SCRIPTING: [HDL]-{Gen} Dragon

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "HDL Testing Site"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""

	// call additional stuff for playing this map round based is needed
	if(level.roundbased)
		thread roundbasedthread

	level waittill prespawn

	//*** Precache Dm Stuff
	exec global/DMprecache.scr

	//exec global/door_locked.scr::lock  //not used
	level.script = maps/dm/HDL_Testing_Site.scr
	exec global/ambient.scr mohdm7 // background sound (just wind)

	$lift time 3
	$blast_door time 3 
	$fan1 time 5 //this line is redundant
	$fan2 time 2 //this line is redundant
	$fan3 time 2 //this line is redundant
	
	level waittill spawn

	thread lift_ops 
	thread blast_door_ops 
	thread fan_ops_start

end

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

roundbasedthread:

	// Can specify different scoreboard messages for round based here. 


	level waitTill prespawn

	level waittill spawn

	// set the parameters for this round based match
	level.dmrespawning = 0 // 1 or 0
	level.dmroundlimit = 5 // round time limit in minutes
	level.clockside = kills // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw

	//level waittill roundstart  //remove slash marks for final script

end

Caps are for literature, not code =)

The best way to debug scripts that are compiling, but not functioning is to take it slowly step by step. Just take one instance of a technique you are trying to implement and see what it does... see if the trigger is pressed using message outputs... etc... eventualy you can then feel much more certain of where problems are, and ask more specific questions about how to resolve them. =)
