My map is a screwy

DeltaJ · Post by **DeltaJ** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 4:02 pm

Okay so i'm making my first map it's single player, and when i'm 1/3rd done i decide to test it and am i sure glad i did nothing is working right. Okay so first i have three friendly's that are suppose be activate and follow me when i hit there trigger nothing happens they just stand there two of them are brits and they don't have there weapons but i gave it to them wrong so i should be able to fix that. but the brit captian is suppose to talk to me when i hit there trigger and they do nothing. I have a winding road i put on top of LOD and it was perfectly flat in radiant but in the game there's these black bumps sticking out of it. I have three sets of nazi's that are suppose to spawn only when i hit there trigger but they spawn right when i start the game . there a opel that suppose to only spawn when i hit it's trigger but it also spawns right away. I going to have a buch of mg42s i made two so far but only one spawned and the other one which is suppose to have a spot light next to it the light doesn't even appear or work let alone the MGer. My sky is pitch black instead of the texture i have it and on top of that i have no weapons.
I followed the tuts to a T and went over my script and i can't find whats the problem so i was hopeing one of you genuis mappers could take a look at my map and see what i did wrong.

You should post ur script

Code: Select all

blah blah

Okay but I think if someone took a look at it it would be better.

I'm no expert, but I think you need to run global scripts to enable the enemy and friends. They must have nodes to move in the map.

Have you tried that video tutorials for AI? Here is a link to download them.

doesn't globle/auto.scr run the ai.scr
i did those vid tuts

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:14 pm

you need to not have spaces in $targetnames.

and it'd be a lot easier to debug if you posted consoel msg's. open your map and type devcon in cnsole, copy down the msg there and quit.

DeltaJ · Post by **DeltaJ** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 12:21 am

I don't see any spaces where do i have spaces.
i'll do the devcon thing. whatever that is.

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 4:08 am

all your friendlies have two-word targetnames.

level.friendly1.targetname = Captain Haddock
level.friendly2.targetname = Sargent Bauer
level.friendly3.targetname = Private Taylor

i really dont think you can do that, it counts the rank, then thinks the name is another command.

DeltaJ · Post by **DeltaJ** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 3:44 pm

So i have to put Captian and Haddock together.
and what about my other stuff i got lots more problems than this.

and it'd be a lot easier to debug if you posted consoel msg's. open your map and type devcon in cnsole, copy down the msg there and quit.

1. run game
2. when your map loads, pause.
3. type devcon in console
(this will open up another console)
4. see the error? copy it down.
5. catch me on MSN and i'll try to help you, or post on the forums.

I'm getting to it I wasn't at home. It's valenties day tomarrow and i had to get some stuff for someone

, ya know what i mean.
Anyway I run Moh with the bare minimun so it takes a while to load.

Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D · Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:37 pm

(it IS? Oh ([expletive])...well i got something.. thought it was next weekend)
and to make the console thing easier type in console
devcon
then type
logfile 1
then type
restart
then quit MOH and go to yer main folder and open up the q_console_log and then copy and paste it into the forum... see, no writing.. (i HATE writing stuf

)

ya me to thanks

DeltaJ · Post by **DeltaJ** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 12:22 am

Um i'm running spearhead if that matter cause i didn't find the file you were talking about sorry. and when i typed devcon nothing happened.

There is also a line of thext that is not a comment, it will probably break the script:

Code: Select all

This renames your friends to something more readable and easier to use.
