rotatez 325 rotates an object at a speed of 325 degrees a second
rotatezupto 325 rotates an object to an angle of 325 degrees from it's 0 angle on the axis used
rotatezup 325 rotates an object 325 degrees from it's current angle
you don't need to set the speed if you use rotatez so the second line is only if you are rotateing up upto down or downto where the rotation is to an angle .

ok I rechecked my script and it uses time not speed so I changed it to speed . hmm didn't work the same it seemed that speed didn't work for me at least not for rotation anyway . I don't know it may be a spearhead thing . I think I used speed before in a mohaa map . Or it maybe that speed is for the moveto command and not for rotation hmm I'll post and see if anyone knows .

I have no Idea if this will work or not, but here is what I have so far.......
Speed does not work for rotating things. Use time and set the number to how long it takes to rotate the degrees set. However there is a limit on how fast your prop can turn because of people's frame rates.
Make your prop and it's center script_origin a single script_object with one targetname ($prop). Also do the same for your control lever ($teststand_lever). Then place a trigger_use over your lever and give it a targetname as well ($teststand_trigger).
Code: Select all
level waittill prespawn
level.lever_set_time = 150 // tenths of a second
level.propeller_speed = 0
level.leverpos = 0
thread teststand_waittill_startup
end
teststand_waittill_startup:
while ( $teststand_trigger )
{
$teststand_trigger waittill trigger
local.player = parm.other
//"local.player.dmteam", can be 'spectator', 'freeforall', 'allies' or 'axis'
if (local.player.dmteam == level.planting_team)
{
goto teststand_waittill_set
println "failed dmteam check" local.player.dmteam
}
level.leverpos = 0
while ( (Isalive local.player) && ($local.player cansee $teststand_trigger 30 128) && (local.player.useheld == 1) )
{
if (level.leverpos == 0)
local.player stopwatch (level.lever_set_time * .1)
level.leverpos++
$test_stand_lever rotateXup 1
level.propeller_speed == (level.propeller_speed + 1)
$prop rotateZup ( (24 * (level.propeller_speed) )
wait .1
if (level.leverpos >= 15)
{
iprintlnbold "The propeller is turning at full speed!"
thread teststand_waittill_shutoff
end
}
}
if (local.counter > 0)
local.player stopwatch 0
}
end
level.planting_team has to be set in prespawn--as it does in any objective match script.

Ok, I know this is long time since a reply but I finally worked out a few of my problems and had a chance to try this out. Tom, if you're out there please respond.
I tried this script and I can't get it to work. The prop doesn't rotate and the lever doesn't trigger. My script is below and I have omitted a couple threads because they are unrelated, but if you think they might be the problem, let me know and I'll put my entire ecript in.

I'm wondering with my limited scripting experience, if the "end" command is what is screwing me up, because I have that at the end of my other threads that I haven't included. Does that matter or do you only want one "end" command in the script??

An end ends the current thread. You need one end for every thread you make.
If you put ends in the middle of your script, the script stops running in the middle of it. So get rid of that end.

Are you saying you have to put an end command at the end of every thread section? Ah, screw it. This is my script as it stands now. I think maybe I just don't have things in the right order:

//teststand precache

level.propeller_speed = 0
level.leverpos = 0
thread teststand_waittill_startup
end //<-- get rid of this

Use in conditions (if, while or for)
if(local.a == 5)

Use in calculations
local.b = local.a + 8
So in your case,
level.propeller_speed == (level.propeller_speed + 1)
should have been
level.propeller_speed = (level.propeller_speed + 1)
or just
level.propeller_speed++ // <-- adds one

Thx, jv_map, and thx for not making it so easy- that way I wouldn't learn anything. I've done very little c++ study and your explanation of the token equality makes sense. I have one other question that I can't find an answer for in the search engine. Some of the commands in the script such as "$test_stand_lever rotateXup 1" have the "$" in front of them but their targetname in the k/v pair does not have that. Is that correct? I think that symbol means string doesn't it?
Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2003 1:34 pm
by jv_map
The $ means 'entity with this targetname'.
Therefore the entity doesn't need the $ in the key/value pair.
The (Morpheus <-- that's what it's called) scripting language doesn't use any special signs to cast values to data types. It's not QBasic

not sure how much of an effect this has, but in your script:
Code: Select all
} // <--- Change this one
if (local.counter > 0)
local.player stopwatch 0
}
The two closing brackets may cause an error. My scripting knowledge is limited, but in my experience compilers are picky about things like that.
two

There should be two because one is for the "if" action and the other is for a "while" action that the "if" statement is in.
BTW, I'm still not sure that script will work because I'm not sure how to change rotation speed. I do know that increasing the time makes it rotate slower, but decreasing it below 1 does not seem to make it go any faster.
Maybe you should just stick with a one speed propeller. If you want to send me the map/script, I'll be happy to look it over for ya.
