scripting - number value increase?

HDL_CinC_Dragon · Post by **HDL_CinC_Dragon** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 1:26 am

is there a way to have a scripted number value increase by a certain amount? like:

local.time time (5 + 1)

or something like that.

Post by **jv_map** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 7:53 am

local.time += 5 // to increase 5
local.time++ // to increase 1
local.time -= 5 // to decrease 5
local.time-- // to decrease 1

=) thanks man! would that work with

Code: Select all

$thing time +=5

does that start at zero and go up by fives?

how do you tell wether its going by fives every second or whatever?

and what if i have

Code: Select all

$thing time 10 +=5

would that work?

whats the 10 for? i think it goes off your regular round time and adds onto that.not sure tho.

local.variable = local.varible + 5

is the same as

local.variable += 5

I don't know if you can use $thing.time += 5 or if you can read it that way or not . To be safe or if that does not work you can try

local.time = 10

while(1)
{
$thing time local.time
$thing moveto local.spot1
$thing move
wait 1
$thing moveto local.spot2
$thing move
local.time += 5
}

something like that will work .

ok, what if i have

Code: Select all

main:
...

level waittil prespawn

thread thing_overseer
local.time = 10
...
end

level waittill spawn

thing_overseer:
while(1)
    }
$trigger waittill trigger
$trigger nottriggerable
wait 1
$thing moveeast 1000
local.time +=5
...
    {
end

do you thing that would work?... and this +=5 thing, does it keep adding 5 to the speed every second or something? cuz thats what i want it to do...

no, no no.

Code: Select all

end 

level waittill spawn

you cannot have statements outside threads, it generates errors and is never used.

Code: Select all

while(1) 
    }

you need openeing and closing braces. {}.
you made them backwards

for overseer here's what will work, every second it adds 5 to time.

Code: Select all

thing_overseer: 
while(1) 
{
$trigger nottriggerable 
wait 1 
$thing.time +=5 
$thing moveeast 1000 
} 
end

also, it's a lot better imo to use setthread on the trigger so you don't have a bunch of waittills circulating, it's easier on memory... plus it's easier to read.

thanx man

bdbodger · Post by **bdbodger** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 9:35 pm

The only thing is that script will send it off the map and keep it moveing into infility . It has to stop sometime .

ya I know, im using it in a script right now and i have it stop when it his 360 (im using it for rotation ? rather than time)

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 5:12 am

well for rotation you need to use one of 3 commands..

Code: Select all

rotateX
rotateY
rotateZ

then a few numbers, look them up in G_allclasses.

moveeast just makes it move east...

HDL_CinC_Dragon · Post by **HDL_CinC_Dragon** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 5:14 am

ya i know, ive mastered rotating and movement

HDL_CinC_Dragon · Post by **HDL_CinC_Dragon** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 5:42 pm

Code: Select all

$fan3 rotateY 1 +=20

care to tell me how to make this work?

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 9:58 pm

not quite sure what you want to accomplish... that bit won't work i dont think.

i assume you want the fan to speed up by 20 every second,

if so...

Code: Select all

local.fanSpeed = 1

while(local.fanSpeed < 100)
{
local.fanSpeed += 20
$fan3 rotateY local.fanSpeed
wait 5
}

every 5 seconds it'll pick up by 20, but for smoothness it's better to do something like this.

Code: Select all

for(local.fanSpeed = 1; local.fanSpeed < 100; local.fanSpeed++)
{
$fan3 rotateY local.fanSpeed
wait .5
}

i'm going to feel really stupid if this isn't what you wanted...

HDL_CinC_Dragon · Post by **HDL_CinC_Dragon** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 1:47 am

it is very much what iu wanted, but i feel that up by 5 every second would be smoothness enough

Code: Select all

Code: 
local.fanSpeed = 1 

while(local.fanSpeed < 360) 
{ 
local.fanSpeed += 5
$fan3 rotateY local.fanSpeed 
wait 1
}

does this mean that if the speed value is lower than 360, it will continue to add 5 every second? cuz i want the "time" to stay one, but i want the rotation degree to increase by 5 every second until it thits 360 so that it will be going faster... and how would I encorperate these things into my current script?

Code: Select all

main:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "HDL" 
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "Testing"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "Site"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "HDL"

I scripted the increases when my original idea didnt work...
