Extending Objectives

[spy0012]

I am still in the scripting learning curve and asked lots of questions already but i want to extend an objective instead of it ending once done.

I have currently setup the steal papers objective but i want to be able to extend the objective by having the person have to go and transmit them via a radio else where in the map, but when that person dies the docs return.

How could i do this, i cannot find any tuts on objectives like this otherwise i would do it that way.

I am doing well so far but struggling on objectives, liberation no problem just obj

Your help is greatly appriciated

[Green Beret]

just add the radio mission as an objective that needs to be completed b4 the round ends

Code: Select all

   level waittill roundstart
      
      $documents thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
      $radio_obj thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
      
      $documents thread axis_win_bomb $documents $radio_obj
      $documents thread allied_win_timer

//bla bla

//just change $documents & $radio_obj to match your targetnames :wink: 

its usually best to post your script.

[spy0012]

Here is most of the script just removed the allies/axis messages

Code: Select all

level.defusing_team = "axis" // Axis like the bombs unplanted
level.planting_team = "allies" // Allies will try to plant the bombs
level.targets_to_destroy = 1 // Number of targets in this map
level.bomb_damage = 200 // Default damage of the bomb
level.bomb_explosion_radius = 2048 // Default radius of bomb blast

   // level waittill roundstart
   // Start the win check thread for allies
   thread desk_document_check
   // If the end of the match is reached, the Axis win
   $door_bomb thread global/obj_tick.scr::bomb_thinker
   level waittill axiswin
 end // end of main

 // Document checks
 desk_document_check:
   while(1) { // forever
     // Dont execute past this line
     // until someone triggers the object
     $documents_trigger waittill trigger
     // parm.other is the triggerer
     if(parm.other.dmteam == allies) {
       // Make the document graphix disappear
       $documents hide
       // break out of the while loop
       break
     }
     // protection against making this
     // thread use too much CPU
     waitframe
   }
   teamwin allies // Make allies win the match
 end // end allies victory test

Bombing the radio would be better, don't bomb documents you steal them so above code would be wrong in a way.

Bomb thinker, obj_tick.scr is my custom bomb thinker, quicker arming ect,

Any firther help would be appriciated

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

uhm, even though it is quoted out, it should be

Code: Select all

thread use_too_much_CPU

secon of all i thought this was a documents/radio thing, not a bomb obj... wheres the radioing section???

[spy0012]

that is the part i need help on, as i have no idea how to travel with the documents. Maybe i will just do the blow radio instead.

make objectives simple for everyone, just when i do the steal / bomb tutorial nothing works so i added my own bomb exploder just to access an area and did the steal tutorial and it worked eventually.

I cannot seem to combine objectives

[Green Beret]

if this doesnt help,ill post a script i made for southern france were i added the V2 objectives to it

Code: Select all

level.defusing_team = "axis" 
level.planting_team = "allies" 
level.targets_to_destroy = 1 
level.bomb_damage = 200 
level.bomb_explosion_radius = 2048 

   // level waittill roundstart

   thread desk_document_check

   //$door_bomb thread global/obj_tick.scr::bomb_thinker//whats tick?
   $door_bomb thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
   $radio_obj thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker

   $door_bomb thread allies_win_bomb $documents $radio_obj
   $door_bomb thread axis_win_timer

   //level waittill axiswin
 end 

 // Document checks
 desk_document_check:
   while(1) 
{ 


     $documents_trigger waittill trigger

     if(parm.other.dmteam == allies) 
{
       $documents hide

       break
     }
     waitframe
   }
   //teamwin allies
 end 

allies_win_bomb local.bomb1 local.bomb2:

   while ((local.bomb1.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb2.exploded != 1))
      wait .1
      
   teamwin allies
end

axis_win_timer:

   level waittill axiswin

end

[spy0012]

obj_tick.scr is a custom version of obj_dm.scr, quicker arm and disarm of bomb ect.

The door_bomb isn't an objective just a bomb to blow a panel of wood off a doorway to access a house.

Documents is the first objective and i need help scripting for the radio part as i have never done scripting before.

Maybe i could have the documents left as an objective and just do a bomb radio objective, just combining objectives with the steal objective i can't do either and the tut when i do it don't work for combining multiple different objectives

any help would be appriciated, i may have to setup my radio for bombing first

You want a "retrieve document and send its info over radio" objective, right?
Not a sepate "document objective" followed by a "use radio" objective, right?

If so: you will need to:
1) mark the player that triggers the doc objective.

Code: Select all

parm.other.has_docs = 1

... would work for that just after he has triggerad the objective.
2) only let people with documents trigger the radio.

Code: Select all

if(parm.other.has_docs == 1 )

...would test that just after he has triggered the radio objective.
3) Continuosly scan the player to check if he is alive, else respawn the docs objective.
4) Continuosly scan the player to check if he is still on the server, so he does not take the docs, logout, and destroy the game for the rest of the players.

Check my Liberation for MOH:AA tutorial for scanners like that: http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/index.php?n= ... ionInMOHAA

In conclution, it is a lot of work and will result in a VERY complex script. It will also result in a complex gameplay, and as people are hard enough to persuade to try a new map at all: I'd suggest making a sepate "document objective" followed by a "use radio" objective...

But if you want something hard to bite in to learn scripting, you may learn a lot. Just make sure you are comfortable with basic scripting before you start the complex stuff.

[spy0012]

do you know of any use radio objectives tuts as i can't find many objective tutorials.

I will do the use obj instead, too complex and like you say may not play it

Cheers

[Bjarne BZR]

A use radio would look exactly like a document objective, but with a radio model instead of a document.

[Grassy]

Havn't seen tutes for this, I just made it up to suit the map, here is a couple of routines you can use and adapt to your own scenario.
The script spawns in a radio and a trigger, then sets up a looping thread to monitor the trigger, if conditions are met it will start a countdown routine. It is art of a multi objective mod I made for Holland, the map is loaded as a roundbased game and the gametype is changed to obj mode. For use in your obj you could make the teamwin condition at the end of the counter to give the opposit team a chance to stop the countdown, it's very similar to the standard bomb thinker really only this is local to a specific map.

Thats nice: Why dont U add it as a tutorial on my Wiki: http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/

I have currently got the following script but only problem is if you use the radio before getting documents game ends, if you get the documents it dosen't end till the radio is done which is correct way.

Here is code, ?? at bottom

   teamwin allies
end

Questions:

1. How can i make it so they have to steal documents then do the radio
2. how can i point the compass to these objectives in correct order

If anyone can help me with these it would be good, i have only ever mapped liberation maps so this is new, and i am sorry about all the dumb questions i am learning i am adapting tutorials for my own stuff just taking help and time
