ok.. the $Sstat spawns ok...
the light... yes it wokrs
but the suicide trigger doesnt seem to go off... could you tell me why?
my thread suicide_bomber is after prespawn
PS to all you eople annoyed at me:
ill shuttap ok?
im just about as stupid as the guy in my avatar looks

local.static.origin = (local.bomberhead.origin + ( 0 0 96 ) )

should be

local.static.origin = local.bomberhead.origin + ( 0 0 96 )

***

local.blastrigger.origin = ( $bomberhead.origin )

should be

local.blastrigger.origin = $bomberhead.origin

k thx... i ll try thaat now

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

nope.. i get the same effect as before.. nothin...
is that while loop ok? ive never really used while before :S

i open up devcon and there arent any errors....
**edit**ive updated the script**/edit**

[Grassy]

local.suicidetrigga.origin = local.suicide_stat_1.origin

shouldn't it's origin = local.suicidestat.origin ? where did the _1 come from?

[wacko]

?tleast

Code: Select all

local.blastriggersetsize

is a typo.
You could add lines of

Code: Select all

iprintln_noloc "Script is now in thread xy"

to see more of what it does

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

ive updated the code and im testing with the correctins.. thx guys

1. I don't think giving players targetnames is a good idea, especially when you don't use them at all.
2. Glueing the bomb to the player will make it appear at his feet. Use bind or attach instead.

[Green Beret]

so im assuming you can bind/attatch objects to players heads,arm ect...?

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

could i attatch it using the player's eyebone?

[Rookie One.pl]

I think so.

attach( Entity parent, String tagname, [ Integer use_angles ] )

attach this entity to the parent's legs tag called tagname

So, you could use it like this:

Code: Select all

$entity attach local.player "eyes bone"

** Edit **

Here is one way of attaching something to a certain spot on a player that I use.

local.mover = spawn script_model model "fx/dummy.tik"
local.mover.origin = ( local.player gettagposition "Bip01 Head")
local.mover.angles = local.player.angles
local.mover notsolid
local.mover targetname "spot"
$spot attach local.player "Bip01 Head"

[Rookie One.pl]

That's exactly what I meant, Grassy, thanks for an example.

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

after this long time i fanally figure out thr problem... the setsize needs to be:

Code: Select all

(-### -### -###) (+### +### +###)

lol...
oh and whoever made the game code, cant spell attatch
