new to scripting, needs help

[Green Beret]

yes,i have this in my thread,but in a different thread i made to check for the player who triggered the trigger,to change his/her weapon.

will this still change the parm.other eventually?
i will post my script,that way no mistakes

EDIT**

Code: Select all

death_check:
            self waittill trigger
            local.player[i]=parm.other
            if(local.player[i].isdeath_check == 1)
end

local.player[i].isdeath_check = 1

while(1)
{   
for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
{
   if(local.player[i].dmteam != allies)//want it to = the triggerer
   {
   local.team = local.player.dmteam
   while (isAlive(local.player[i]) && local.player[i].dmteam == local.team)
//want to exec this stuff when dies and respawns,only for triggerer
   wait .1 
   local.player[i] takeall
   local.player[i] give "models/weapons/silencedpistol.tik"
   local.player[i] give "models/weapons/kar98.tik"
   }
   else if(local.player[i].dmteam != spectator)
   waitframe
   {
      local.player[i] light 0 0 0 1
   }
  }
waitframe
break
}   
thread death_check 

end
 

now,i changed this around bout 50 times,because the parm.other did effect everyone.i know very little bout scripting like this.
so please hold nothing back....i wanna learn

well you don't quite get it yet .

death_check:
self waittill trigger
local.player=parm.other // local.player ??? what is i and why are you making it an array ?
if(local.player.isdeath_check == 1)
end

and

for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
{
if(local.player.dmteam != allies)//want it to = the triggerer

why are you useing a for statement to go through all the players when you only want to deal with the 1 player who triggered the trigger . Also the sytax is wrong it should have been like this

for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
{
if($player.dmteam != allies)//want it to = the triggerer

I would say make local.player just local.player in the whole thread and get rid of that for statement you do not need that at all .Then take out the thread death_check line at the end and also the self waittill trigger line and use the setthread key on the trigger instead .

well i add the because the trigger would effect everyone until i changed it to ,then it only effected the triggerer.
i will make changes and see what happens

[bdbodger]

my mistake too should have been $player[local.i] not $player that would work in cod but not mohaa you need the local. in front of it . It was the for statement that made it effect everyone you don't need that.

I think you should do it this way . first give your trigger the key setthread and value death_check then try this .

Code: Select all

death_check:

	local.player=parm.other

	if(local.player.isdeath_check == 1)
		end

	local.player.isdeath_check = 1

	if(isAlive(local.player) && local.player.dmteam == axis)
	{

		local.player takeall
		local.player give "models/weapons/silencedpistol.tik"
		local.player give "models/weapons/kar98.tik"
    		local.player light 1 0 0 100 // r b g radius this is red light
    		local.player lighton

		while (isAlive(local.player) && local.player.dmteam == axis)
		{
			wait .1
		}

		local.player.isdeath_check = 0
    		local.player lightoff
	}
end

This is interesting not trying to steal the thread, only adding options:D

I have been scratching my head on this sort of thing for a while in a liberation scenario. People do all sorts of things in multiplayer to find glitches or script loopholes. In BD's example if that thread were watching a trigger_multiple in a jail would it also need to take into account players who go into spectate mode while in a jail, and maybe even players who try to swap teams, maybe this line might catch them

if(isAlive(local.player) && local.player.dmteam == axis)

or maybe it needs the third check added like so;

Code: Select all

if(isAlive(local.player) && local.player.dmteam == axis && local.player.dmteam != spectator) 

Is this overkill Bd? I note that in the original game scr's they have tried to cover all possible bases in multiplayer use.

I think a players dmteam can only be one of these allies axis ffa or spectator at any time .

Thanx bd,that script you made works perfect.
but i bet you knew that already

i know theres already medic mods out there,but this one is more basic but also fun to play
