spawn question

[CTpenok]

Hi all,

Is it possible to spawn a Crane in a spearhead stock map ?

And if so , does anybody know where the crane.tik is located ?
When I look at the static objects thumbs over here http://uzaiuzai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/pic/static/static.htm it says its located at static/equipment

so I tried:

local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "static/equipment/crane.tik"
local.static.origin = ( 2630 -6334 -511 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 -168 0 )
local.static solid

But that didn't work

Am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible ?

Maybe:


level waittill prespawn

thread crane

level waittill spawn

crane:
local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "static/equipment/crane.tik"
local.static.origin = ( 2630 -6334 -511 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 -168 0 )
local.static solid
end

must be work!!

Thanks knuko,

That should work I guess, but the problem is I tought the crane could be found in pak0.pk3 (models/static/crane.tik) looking at the name of the thumb but its not there

So I guess I'll have to search again for the real name.
If somebody knows the real name please let me know.

Here's an image of the crane...

open it in Rad, hit N, find in the little window near the bottom a value called model, and that's your model.

Thanks lizardkid,

I allready did that but I used the classname instead of the model name
So thanks a lot for pointing that out

It now works but, when I do it like this


level waittill prespawn

thread crane

level waittill spawn

crane:
local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "miscobj/crane.tik"
local.static.origin = ( 2671 -6477 -506 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 90 0 )
local.static solid
end

its solid but I can't walk under the crane and when I do
local.static notsolid
I can walk under the crane but also through the crane itself.

So I want the crane itself to be solid but everybody must be able to walk underneath it.

Any suggestions ?

Make the crane notsolid, but then spawn other models and hide them to block of the parts you want to be solid. Personally, I use clip brushes.

Unreal, it's a stock map, you can't use clip brushes.

You can use script_objects instead - see this thread.

[Unreal_Demon]

Code: Select all

	local.clipbrush2 = spawn script_object
	local.clipbrush2.origin = ( 4614.75 -1854.40 10 )
	local.clipbrush2.angles = ( 0 0 0)
	local.clipbrush2 setsize ( -195 -80 -2 ) ( 195 60 110 )
	local.clipbrush2 solid
	local.clipbrush2 nodamage

This is what I ment. Im too used to calling it clip brush than script_object.

[lizardkid]

level waittill prespawn

thread crane

level waittill spawn

crane:

also, your code should look like this.

Code: Select all

level waittill prespawn 

thread crane 

level waittill spawn 

end

crane: 

otherwise it's gonig to run regardless of if you call teh crane thread or not, in fact you may have two of them because you're calling it and it's naturally going to do that anyway. the end ends the main thread and lets crane start

[CTpenok]

Thanks all for your help !

I got it where I want now and made the crane notsolid and spawned some other models and hide them like Unreal_Demon said. Works fine with this crane but I like to try the script_objects too sometime for some other things so thanks for the thread Rookie One. Looks interesting.

[Rookie One.pl]

Code: Select all

	local.clipbrush2 = spawn script_object
	local.clipbrush2.origin = ( 4614.75 -1854.40 10 )
	local.clipbrush2.angles = ( 0 0 0)
	local.clipbrush2 setsize ( -195 -80 -2 ) ( 195 60 110 )
	local.clipbrush2 solid
	local.clipbrush2 nodamage

You'll be able to shoot through this brush.

[lizardkid]

because of nodamage. in fact i doubt script objects die, so try it without that first

[Unreal_Demon]

You'll be able to shoot through this brush.

Nope.
