Problem with Explosions

TheShiznaeSpe · Post by **TheShiznaeSpe** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 12:08 am

in this script, i'm trying to get walls to explode

i'm using the setthread command on the triggers so that it starts up the exploding scripts-everything works even, except that when it says the bomb should have gone off-it hasn't

-the bomb removes and everything, but the walls don't blow

any ideas?

Code: Select all

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Protect the bunker"

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "protect the fort."
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "Blow the walls"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "and"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "infiltrate the bunker."

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

level waittill prespawn

exec global/ambient.scr MP_Malta_DM

end

level waittill spawn

level.script = maps/obj/Fort_Vaux.scr

//level waittill roundstart //comment out for testing

level.dmrespawning = 1
level.dmroundlimit = 20
level.clockside = allies

Did you set your wall as a script object with #set xx and the destroyed one with a script objective #set xx? And an fx will do good too.

ya, i'll email ya the map file tomorrow

Cool. For the TC?

Make sure you don't have a script_model (targetname exploderfire) without a model anywhere

.

TheShiznaeSpe · Post by **TheShiznaeSpe** » Wed Feb 12, 2003 12:51 pm

nope, i double checked the models, but still no explosion

is the script ok?

I really don't understand why you typed an 'end' in the middle of your main thread

aha! it's from an earlier script to injure players in a radius, i'll test later

Add the same for the rest. If it's wrong, check the tuts on bombing, @ Nemesis' page or Bjarne.

the problem is not that the thread doesn't start, it's that after the script counts down, the bomb just doesn't explode

Post by **Bjarne BZR** » Thu Feb 20, 2003 11:36 pm

If you look in the file obj_dm.scr ( In global in pak0.pk3 ) and the method bomb_explode: you will see that the standard behaviour of calling:

Code: Select all

$bomb_targetname thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker

of an exlosion does more than just

Code: Select all

exec global/exploder.scr::explode

look in the file to see how its done...

( I really dont know but this is my guess. Slap me if I'm barking up the wrong tree here... )

this isn't a bomb thinker for an obj, it's just a bomb that can be set (not defused) and it blows the wall

mohaa_rox · Post by **mohaa_rox** » Fri Feb 21, 2003 6:22 am

Did you set the correct stuff for the bomb? Give me the map, I'll take a look. Don't worry, I'm in the same mod as you.

TheShiznaeSpe · Post by **TheShiznaeSpe** » Fri Feb 21, 2003 9:18 pm

ok, i'm sending now

mohaa_rox · Post by **mohaa_rox** » Sat Feb 22, 2003 3:40 am

I'll try my old bombing trick and see.
