.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

maybe i'll help ya script it if nuggets doesn't want to.

My loading screen is gonna look like a wall of grafitti with everyone thats helped name on there

Rox I may well take you up on that offer, Nuggets has done a fantastic job so far, I have been bugging him for weeks now, sorry Nuggets, I know you have your own things to do, your help has been MUCHO apreciated, when I am flush with cash I will send you those Stellas, I promise.

I may try using the Slyk style objectives or probably will use the script we have working now, I may just make it harder for people to achieve all three objectives which should make for better gameplay, I will need to adjust the layout of the map a little to put the switches in more easily defended positions, right now they are pretty out in the open.

Thanks for everyones help on this, its been a major mission I know !

sorry 4 the reply i gave, but i'm just being honest...

things are really starting 2 get on top of me at the moment and with my college coursework being due in 2 wks, it's not helping a lot at all,

by getting some1 else 2 do the scripting it'll speed up the release of ur map, if u wait 4 me it'll be waiting as long as it has already and then some...

but i don't mind, i'm just here 2 help people along the way and give them a gentle shove in the right direction

and now ur asking urself... why the hell did i ask him in the 1st place

No reason to aplogise for anything at all man, I have really apreciated the help, dont stress it man, take it easy, nice one

Rox, do you own a copy of Spearhead ?

yup

Well Rox, during a TOW game, when you hold down the TAB key you can see the check boxes which have a cross in them displaying which objectives you need to achieve or which you have already done, the script is not displaying the crosses that should be displayed.

Also in TOW when you achieve an objective, its plays a sound like " We've completed an objective ", this script is also not doing that, I think I have a slight idea why its not playing the sounds, anything to do with this missing from the script ? $obj1 TakeOver 1 ??

below is the latest script, anyone have any ideas,

main:
level.script = "maps/obj/MP_peenemunde_TOW.scr"

exec global/ambient.scr mohdm7

You needn't put a [x], cause it will be checked after

$obj1 TakeOver 1 and stuff something like that.

If I add $obj1 TakeOver 1 and $obj2 TakeOver 1 would that make the check boxes and the sounds work ?

$obj1 TakeOver 0, whereby:


if( parm.other.dmteam == axis )
{

if( $Obj_switch1.ControlledBy != 0 )

Jack- looks like you're making it MUCH harder than it needs to be. My TOW script for 'Streets', the link I pointed you to earlier, is MUCH shorter and does the same stuff with hide/show. You absolutely can follow it to get the switches 'checking' off in the right order. Basically you need to invert the order and IDs of the objectives. Like this:

Allies obj1 is Axis obj5 when viewing the objective list (tab)
Allies obj2 is Axis obj4
Allies obj3 is Axis obj 3
Allies obj4 is Axis obj2
Allies obj 5 is Axis obj1

If I vary from that formula, I tend to have serious issues. Best results with objectives 1 and 5 dealing with protect/capture the spawners. Again, my Sos1 script solves all that and has many of the same elements and is much shorter.

Yup, it's not that easy. I took about 1 hr to figure out that darn script.

I had a run around in your SOS map last night, looks very impressive, you did good

All this scripting nightmare is sending me mad, my brain is fried now.

Hmmm, I am now trying to get some new objectives in there, I got all the objectives from the berlin map and the berlin.scr that comes with SDK, I pasted them into a test map, it all works fine except that when you complete all the objectives it locks up the game, I think this is because its trying to run the animations that you'd get when you win on the original map.

Below is a link to this test map, its got the .map, .bsp and the .scr

Any chance one of you could take a look, edit the .scr ( or the tow objectives in the .map. ) and post it back for me, what I would ideally like to do is get these objectives working in the test map and just import them to my full scale Peenemunde map.

The zip is only 30k

http://www.westmount.co.uk/images/test.zip

As hard as I try it defeats me everytime

Ok, I got it working so that the game does not lock up, works perfectly for the axis team, having problems getting allies to be able to blow the axis spawn, all switches are working correctly, just that one spawn bomb is bugging me,

Heres the bit of script that was causing it to crash when you win, I commented out the original bit and added teamwin allies to it

/Allies win play the movie
//thread win_game_allie
teamwin allies

HMMM the axis spawn bomb wasnt working cos my trigger use was not placed over it, I was trying to set it in thin air, it all seems to work as far as I can tell, gonna have to get someone else to play it with me to make sure, pleeeeese I hope this thing is working now, I really want to concentrate on the actual mapping, just didnt seem worth adding too much more until I get the objectives working correctly, keep your fingers crossed people
