Wow,dude you are right on top of things.Lol.But once again another question I had no idea how to try to search for this one but...I was woundering why I have light shining through walls towards the bottom of the wall.Like say you have two rooms with a wall inbetween.and your in one room and you have no lights in the room you are in, but lights in the other and I can see the light towards the bottom of the wall that is?

Do a search for 'light leaking'

[wacko]

make the floor of each room a separate brush and let the wall brush stick into the floor, i.e. the wall brush's bottom face is deeper than the floor brush's top face. this should stop the light

I got a problem with stealing documents: I followed Manstein's tutorial on how to add a stealing papers obj to a SP map.
I did all the mapping part and now I'm trying out the scripting stuff. I got the compass working (and also have the order to steal the documents (tab)) but when I reach them, I just can't take them...
I have problems with scriptin anyway, as I never know when and where to put an 'end'.
I don't know whether something's wrong with the trigger in the map (I used trigger_multiple, as said in the tut - btw, the trigger's bigger than the docs). Or there might be a bug in the script...

[Bjarne BZR]

Easier to say what is wrong if you post the script. And also a trace of the consol messages whern you run the map.

[k47a]

a trace of the consol messages whern you run the map.

What's that? Is that the window that opens when compiling or the one you see when you play a game?

Anyway, I'm gonna post the script as soon as I'm home...

[Bjarne BZR]

Its the text you get in the consol ( Activated with the button under the ESC button if you have the console activated in your settings ). Write logfile 2 in the consol before loading the map and you should get all consol messaged written to the file qconsol.log in <MOHAA>/main directory.

[Green Beret]

That logfile doesnt work for me fer some reason.
And the notepad command(editscript) or somthing like that.

I type that stuff in console, I get no log in main nor does the notepad kick up.

[Bjarne BZR]

Try setting set developer 1 and/or running the map in developer mode: http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/index.php?n= ... Developing

Hmm... When I compile the map it get's directly into the game, so how can I write anything in the console? Should I open the game normally (where you get that main room or whatever it is) and then type logfile 2 in and start my custom map?

Yes, open it normally.

Alright, here's my script:

// ARCHITECTURE: IvaN (master of disaster)
// SCRITPING: IvaN (master of disaster)


exec global/ai.scr

///////////////////
level waittill prespawn
///////////////////


$enemyspawn ai_on

//////////////////
level waittill spawn
//////////////////


//**stealing documents**
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Steal the documents." $documents.origin //compass!

waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1


//**disable truck**
$cut_wire hide


thread global/ai.scr::spawngroup #1 #1


//**player weapons**
$player item weapons/colt45.tik
$player item weapons/m1_garand.tik
$player item weapons/mp40.tik



//**give him some ammo!**
$player ammo pistol 32
$player ammo smg 100
$player ammo rifle 60

end


main:


//disable truck
lorry_disable:
$normal_wire remove
$lorry_engine playsound m1l2b_disabletruck
$cut_wire show
iprintlnbold_noloc "The lorry has been disabled!"
end

//**steal documents**
objective1:
$documents remove //documents disappear after player's reached them
end

Besides, I never know when I have to put an 'end' and when I shouldn't...


PS: Yep, I know, it's quite a mess...

*sigh* ok ok, this needs some work.. but not too much.

Code: Select all

thread global/ai.scr::spawngroup #1 #1

unless this was just a test of spawners, you might as well just leave them in your map and skip this line.

Code: Select all

$enemyspawn ai_on 

this line too, unless you're just testing, you shouldnt need this. AI is always on at spawn.
