[SP->MP] Objective "A bomb is still set" SOLVED

[SA007]

I'm busy converting a singleplayer map to multiplayer objective.

Almost everything is working except the "A bomb is still set" message you get when the bomb is set when the last persons are killed.

I'm trying to find out where that message is coming from and it seems to come from a dll in mohaa itself with no visible clue in the scripting.

Maybe someone here knows where it is coming from?

If it is needed i'll post the script, but it is about 800 lines long...

I think you need to set clockside to allies or axis

[SA007]

I allready have that line,

I'll just post the lines that seem relevant:

Code: Select all

main:
removeclass actor
removeclass health
removeclass AmmoEntity

setcvar "g_gametype" "4"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Destroy all comms."
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "hardware"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "Defend the 4 radios "
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "and 2 antenna's"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""
setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "m6l2a"

        exec global/spotlight.scr

        thread global/exploder.scr::main

        level waittill prespawn

        //*** Precache Dm Stuff
        exec global/DMprecache.scr
        level.script = "maps/m6l2a.scr"
        exec ubersound/ubersound.scr
        exec global/ambient.scr m6l2a
        exec global/door_locked.scr::lock

thread global/exploder.scr::main

level waittill spawn

//****************************************************//
//                         MAIN PROGRAM                         //

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

        // set the parameters for round based match
        level.dmrespawning = 0 // 1 or 0
        level.dmroundlimit = 5 // round time limit in minutes
        level.clockside = axis // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw


        level waittill roundstart

        thread defense_mg42

                $bomb1 thread bomb_thinker
                $bomb2 thread bomb_thinker
                $bomb3 thread bomb_thinker
                $bomb4 thread bomb_thinker
                $bomb5 thread bomb_thinker
                $bomb6 thread bomb_thinker

                $bomb1 thread allies_win_bomb $bomb1 $bomb2 $bomb3 $bomb4 $bomb5 $bomb6
                $bomb1 thread axis_win_timer
end

alles_win_bomb local.bomb1 local.bomb2 local.bomb3 local.bomb4 local.bomb5 local.bomb6:

        while ((local.bomb1.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb2.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb3.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb4.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb5.exploded != 1) && (local.bomb6.$
                wait .1

        teamwin allies
end

//*** --------------------------------------------
//*** "Axis Victory"
//*** --------------------------------------------

axis_win_timer:

        level waittill axiswin

end

Most of the objective code comes from obj_team4 (the bridge) and stacked tot 6 bombs.

I copied bomb_thinker and made a few changes to that:
- Other models (radiobomb in stead of explosives)
- Set time of 2 sec
- No timer with detonation, that happens when all 6 bombs are set.


I first thought that is would be something in the bomb_waittill_detonate in global/obj_dm.scr but there is nothing

[jv_map]

After level waittill spawn:

Code: Select all

level.targets_to_destroy = 6

[SA007]

That unfortunatly doesn't work. Tried it with both 6 and 1 (since even though there are 6 bombs, only one actually triggers the explosion which blows up the building.
(Similar to the bridge, but with both bombs set in stead of one.)

[ViPER]

Are all 6 bombs for the same objective? or are there 6 seperate objectives?

***edit - Oh I see. nm***


If you set the number of objectives to destroy like JV says - "level.targets_to_destroy = 6"


Your allies win thread should be something like this -

Code: Select all

allies_win_bomb:

	while(level.targets_destroyed < level.targets_to_destroy)
		waitframe

	teamwin allies
end

and change this

Code: Select all

                $bomb1 thread allies_win_bomb $bomb1 $bomb2 $bomb3 $bomb4 $bomb5 $bomb6 
                $bomb1 thread axis_win_timer

to this

Code: Select all

thread allies_win_bomb
thread axis_win_timer

and instead of this

Code: Select all

                $bomb1 thread bomb_thinker 
                $bomb2 thread bomb_thinker 
                $bomb3 thread bomb_thinker 
                $bomb4 thread bomb_thinker 
                $bomb5 thread bomb_thinker 
                $bomb6 thread bomb_thinker

use this

Code: Select all

                $bomb1 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
                $bomb2 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
                $bomb3 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
                $bomb4 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
                $bomb5 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
                $bomb6 thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker

[SA007]

I tried your suggestions,

In principle there is only one target to destroy but there are 6 'switches' to set before the target gets destroyed, so I changed the targets_to_destroy to 1.

I changed the alles win thread, which looks a lot better now, thank you.

Unfortunatly this also didn't get me my "A bomb is still set" message, it just goes directly to axis win

I haven't changed the bomb_thinker's because I copy-pasted the code from obj_dm.scr into my script and modified it to work with the 6 switches/1 bomb idea.
Also things like timers and models are hardcoded in that and i wanted to chenge those.
But in my opinion it doesn't matter if I use the global script or a copy-paste of it.

I'm really starting to think that either I find out what happens is everyone is killed and add the "A bomb is still set" message myself or live with it that it isn't there.
Might just be hardcoded to obj/ or something/

[ViPER]

I see, I do not think the global script will do what you want. If you have one objective to destroy with all 6 bombs, then you want to use a script that has 1 bomb like the hunt.

You will need to create a routine that waits till all six are triggered then activate your single bomb thread.

[SA007]

YEAH! Got it working

Turns out that the obj_dm.scr script was updated in the 1.11 patch, which is Pak7.

They changed level.bomb_set by level.bombs_planted. Changed 2 lines in my script and it works like planned

After a lot of searching it seems i wasn't the only one with this problem
