if (local.pvt.dmteam == "axis" )
//should be local.lt.dmteam == axis ??
{
level.axishasspy++
setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "1" //debug
local.lt takeall
local.lt model "player/allied_airborne.tik"
local.lt item weapons/colt45.tik
local.lt item weapons/BAR.tik
local.lt ammo mg 60
local.lt ammo pistol 4
local.lt useweaponclass mg
while(level.axishasspy>0)
{
if (! isAlive local.lt )
{
setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "0"
level.axishasspy--
break
}
}
}
}
end[/code]

yea,its kinda like counterdicting yourself

if you have local.lt = parm.other then it would have to be
if (local.lt.dmteam == "axis" ) where does the pvt
come from?

local.lt = parm.other
if (local.pvt.dmteam == "axis" )

oops,copy+past is where it came from..... seems as if i meissed something
sry for diging up your time... fixing

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

fixed that error, still when i kill myself, i dot get the axishasspy--.. its stays the same

[Grassy]

Strange, try these small changes to got a better idea of what's happening.

Code: Select all

println "level.axishasspy = :" level.axishasspy

while(level.axishasspy>0) 
{ 
    if (! isAlive local.lt ) 
    { 
       setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "0" 
       level.axishasspy--
       println "[player died] level.axishasspy = :" level.axishasspy
       break 
    }
  wait 1  //you should have a small pause in a while loop 
}

k.. thx... (stupid programming wont et me use waittill death and make life easy )

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

oh MAN grassy youre the best ever !!!!!
IT worked! if i was over 21 id buy you a beer (if youre over 21 )... amybe a fine wine or liquor.... or maybe a cash prize is best!
THX... now, im off to face another dilemma:
trying to only allow the player to trigger it once

[Grassy]

Hehe, maye I'm WELL over 21 more than twice that actually

For the trigger once by the tagged player try this option:

Code: Select all

airborne: 
if (level.axishasspy != 3)
{ 
 println "Be the otherteam... BE the other team :) " 
 local.lt = parm.other
 
  if ((local.lt.dmteam == "axis") && (local.lt.istagged !=1)) 
  { 
   level.axishasspy++ 
   setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "1" //debug 
   local.lt takeall 
   local.lt model "player/allied_airborne.tik" 
   local.lt item weapons/colt45.tik 
   local.lt item weapons/BAR.tik 
   local.lt ammo mg 60 
   local.lt ammo pistol 4 
   local.lt useweaponclass mg
   local.lt.istagged = 1  //new variable to track tagged player
 
     while(level.axishasspy>0) 
     { 
       if (! isAlive local.lt ) 
       { 
         setcvar "cg_3rd_person" "0" 
         level.axishasspy-- 
         break 
       }
      wait 1 
     } 
  } 
} 
end
