Make sure you did what tltrude said GARRAPIGNADO.

Hi again.
I have some news: I have a problem to run the script.
I put the bsp and the scr into a working pk3 (with another map inside it). The mapa_base script didnt load, but the other did.
I believe that there's no problem with the names, cause they are very simple!!!
I test the script with
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "TEST"
but it didnt work, so, there is a basic problem of scripting, not in your methods.
It must be so basic that I'm can't find it
I tried including
level.script = maps/dm/mapa_base.scr
but it doesnt work.
I surrender. It's silly, but I can't find it
If anyone wants to help me, mailme to
garrapignado@hotmail.com, and I'll send him the pk3. It's around 5kb, not big, jejejeje.
But I repit: only if want.
Thanks all. I'll keep asking and answering if I can!

What is your maps name?

mapa_base.bsp
And the script is mapa_base.scr
Both in a pk3 with the subfolders maps/dm. Nothing else.

Hmmm, I really dont know whats wrong
Do you use MBuilder as a compiler?

by GARRAPIGNADO
Yes, I did.
And pakscape to pk3.
It's strange!

In MBuilder go into "Other Options" and make sure there is a check in the "Copy BSP to map directory after compile." box.

If there is an error in the script the script won't run . What do you have in the console any errors ? Maybe type logfile 1 into the console before you run the map then post the error from qconsole.log that is in main .

You should try what bdbodger said, open up the console and look for errors

Yes, I have done the logfile 1, but there isn't any visible error.
All the lines are about ubersound and precache.
Only a strange line: R_LevelMarksLoad: maps/dm/mapa_base.dcl not found
But I don't knows what it is.
The problem is that I have other scripts made by me and running well. And this one, worked with other things (a plane, for example), but now not.

Hey guys!!! I've found something. This code doesn't work (the message doesn't show):
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
thread boxDrop
end
boxDrop:
$switch wattill trigger
$switch nottriggerable
$box physics_on
$box waittill touch
$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage
end
But this one, shows the message:
Code: Select all
//TEST MAP
//BY GARRAPIGNADO[&Co]
//
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
end
So, the problem is in the dealing of the boxDrop subrutine. I tried with the three you gave me.
(We're near the solution)
Note: anyone of my other scripts uses threads

A silly question:
Is the same if I write in this two ways??
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
thread boxDrop
end
boxDrop:
$switch wattill trigger
$switch nottriggerable
$box physics_on
$box waittill touch
$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage
end
And:
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
thread boxDrop
end
boxDrop:
$switch wattill trigger
$switch nottriggerable
$box physics_on
$box waittill touch
$box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage
end
It's only a visual thing, isn't it??

$switch wattill trigger
should be
$switch waittill trigger

Yes!! bdbodger solved the problem. Change that and its sure to work

Oh, thanks bdbodger, that's one of the mistakes, but not the only one
See this. I have disconnected the lines (with //) and then, I have delete a // each time and test the map.
With this code, it show the text:
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
thread box_drop
end
box_drop:
// $switch waittill trigger
// $switch nottriggerable
// $box physics_on
// $box waittill touch
// $box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage
end
But, with this one, doesn't show:
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "SCRIPT TEST"
level waittill spawn
thread box_drop
end
box_drop:
$switch waittill trigger <----see this line
// $switch nottriggerable
// $box physics_on
// $box waittill touch
// $box explode 100 // or use radiusdamage
end
The solution is a bit nearest thanks to your help!!!
