err, still some difficulties:

	     		level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.5" "model" "fx/corona_red.tik"

is working

Code: Select all

	     		level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.5"
	     		level.radar_light[local.i].model = fx/corona_red.tik

isn't

Code: Select all

	     		level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.5"
	     		level.radar_light[local.i].model = "fx/corona_red.tik"

neither, btw

Code: Select all

  level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.5"
              level.radar_light[local.i] model = "fx/corona_red.tik"

no dot

to make it simpler (and i know for sure that original line works) just do this.

Code: Select all

level.radar.light[local.i] = spawn fx/corona_red.tik "scale" "2.5"

that's the original line put into the array.

regarding the spawning, the only lines I made kinda working are:

main:
level waittill spawn
thread the_radar_setup
thread the_radar
end

the_radar_setup:
level.map_x_min = -1664
level.map_x_max = 1664
level.map_y_min = -1664
level.map_y_max = 1664
level.radar_x_min = -320
level.radar_x_max = -256
level.radar_y_min = 256
level.radar_y_max = 320
level.map_x_size = (level.map_x_max - level.map_x_min)
level.map_y_size = (level.map_y_max - level.map_y_min)
level.radar_x_size = (level.radar_x_max - level.radar_x_min)
level.radar_y_size = (level.radar_y_max - level.radar_y_min)
level.radar_x_cen = level.radar_x_size / 2 + level.radar_x_min
level.radar_y_cen = level.radar_y_size / 2 + level.radar_y_min
level.final_x_pos = (level.map_x_size / level.radar_x_size)
level.final_y_pos = (level.map_y_size / level.radar_y_size)
level.clock = 0
end

the_radar:
while (1)
{
for (local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
{
if(level.radar_light[local.i] == NIL || level.radar_light[local.i] == NULL)
{
switch ($player[local.i].dmteam)
{
case "allies":
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_blue.tik"
goto switchend
case "axis":
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_red.tik"
goto switchend
default:
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_white.tik"
goto switchend
}
switchend:
}

if ((isAlive $player[local.i]) && (($player[local.i].dmteam == "allies") || ($player[local.i].dmteam == "axis") || ($player[local.i].dmteam == "freeforall")))
{
//floor offset---------------------------------------------------
level.radar_light[local.i].xoffset = 64
level.radar_light[local.i].yoffset = 0
if ($player[local.i].origin[2]<144)
{
level.radar_light[local.i].xoffset = 0
level.radar_light[local.i].yoffset = -64
}
if ($player[local.i].origin[2]>400)
{
level.radar_light[local.i].xoffset = 0
level.radar_light[local.i].yoffset = 0
}
//floor offset---------------------------------------------------
level.radar_light[local.i].origin = (($player[local.i].origin[0] / level.final_x_pos + level.radar_x_cen + level.radar_light[local.i].xoffset) (($player[local.i].origin[1] / level.final_y_pos) + level.radar_y_cen + level.radar_light[local.i].yoffset) 335)
wait .1
}
else
{
level.radar_light[local.i] remove
}
}
wait .1
if(level.radar_light.size >= 1 && level.radar_light.size > $player.size)
{
level.radar_light= waitthread take_extra_radars
}
}
end

take_extra_radars:

local.players = $player.size

for(local.i = level.radar_light.size;local.i > local.players;local.i--)
{

level.radar_light[local.i] remove
}

if(local.players >= 1)
{
for(local.i=1;local.i <= local.players;local.i++)
{
local.temp_array[local.i] = level.radar_light[local.i]
}
end local.temp_array
}
end

Everything else caused lots of errors in the console and not much more... Another typo? Maybe, but the way it is now, is ok 4 me.

Nevertheless, the whole script seems to be somehow buggy. I'm quite sure that sometimes corona wasn't changed when the player changed his team

And the coronas appear as soon as the players have chosen their team (i.e. before selecting a weapon and still being able to fly around).

atm, i think i get none but with

Code: Select all

	     		    level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn fx/corona_red.tik "scale" "0.25"

I get s/th like

Code: Select all

Script error: You must specify an explicit classname for misc object tik models

and

Code: Select all

!*!*!* 'models/fx/corona_red.tik' was spawned as an Object at (0,0,0). Should be made into a static model or script model (# here is a #counting up)

But does this matter? Using

Code: Select all

						level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_blue.tik"

is fine for me, isn't it?!

                  level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_blue.tik"

sud be ok

but to sure it all just use script model and it will be happy

Code: Select all

                  level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_model "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_blue.tik"

Well, err, yes, that's what I said (tried to

). Problem rather seem to be all those if clauses, arrays, for-loops... Maybe I should add some more "wait .1" to give it a bit more time?

Huh? Don't see a difference to above

script_model not script_object

switch ($player[local.i].dmteam)
{
case "allies":
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_blue.tik"
goto switchend
case "axis":
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_red.tik"
goto switchend
default:
level.radar_light[local.i] = spawn script_object "scale" "0.25" "model" "fx/corona_white.tik"
goto switchend
}
switchend:
}

The proper way to use a switch statement is like this useing label: or case #:

Code: Select all

switch (selection) statement
============================

Standard usage
--------------

switch (expr)
{
label1:
	statement
	...
	statement
	break

label2:
	statement
	...
	statement
	break

case 0:
	statement
	...
	statement
	break	

case 1:
	statement
	...
	statement
	break

default:
	statement
	...
	statement
	break
}

The break ends the switch and goes to the next line after it , goto is very sloppy

, how could I? Thanks, m8.

bdbodger wrote:... goto is very sloppy

sloppy would mean, that the script err sometimes will and sometimes won't execute it?

Ok, then. I'm quite happy with the script now, after all the help I got

I've put everything into that same pk3 and u can do whatever u like with it. Thanks for all the help again!!

Btw, I changed the Subject of this thread. It was supposed to be top secret, well it isn't anymore anyway

Goto is an obsolete thingy - it origins from old programming languages.

And apparently you can use strings in case statements.

bdbodger · Post by **bdbodger** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 1:41 pm

Yes you can use strings or numbers

case 0:

or

allies:
or for some other test like testing for player model or JV's bots , this sample checked the player model then used the bot models but not the scripts

Code: Select all

switch(self.model)
{
models/player/allied_airborne.tik:
	local.ent = human/multiplayer_allied_airborne_soldier.tik
	break
models/player/allied_pilot.tik:
	local.ent = human/multiplayer_allied_pilot.tik
	break
models/player/allied_sas.tik:
	local.ent = human/multiplayer_allied_oss_man.tik
	break

switch and break go together goto is just ugly the same goes for while loops
