My medic finally heals! Here is how i made him heal...

(Note: it may not be the best way, and somethings might have nothing to do with it, but it works and thats all i care about.)

1. after "level waittill spawn" put "level.medic waitthread global/friendly.scr::heal $player"

2. somewhere after that put "thread medicsetup"

3. for medicsetup thread put this.

Code: Select all

medicsetup:

	if (isalive level.medic)
		level.medic thread medicstart
	end

4. for medicstart thread put this.

Code: Select all

medicstart:

	self.avoidplayer = 1
	
	self.friendtype = 5
	self thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
	
	self waittill death
	end

then poof your medic should be a lean mean healin machine.

p.s. this assumes your medic has an alias of "level.medic"

i just looked at the basic format for the medic in m5l1b and this is what it was like. a thread in a thread and that thread had self waittill death after it. you may not need it but it was there so i used it and it worked.

also, jv_map: i used that script you helped me make for when the soldiers follow the leader. i tweaked it a bit and it works great! the way it's setup now, they will run to the leader, but they'll stop before they get close enough to merge into him. when they merge into him, he doesnt advance, and hes on major grillo behaviour, but thats all fixed now! thanks!

heres my script if you wanted to see what it looks like now...

Code: Select all

main:

level waittill prespawn

	exec global/ai.scr
	exec global/friendly.scr
	exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_alliedraid.scr

	level.captain = level.friendly1
	level.medic = level.friendly5 //HE HEALS! YES!!!!!!
	
	level.script = maps/test_alliedraid.scr

level waittill spawn
	
	$player item weapons/bar.tik
	$player item weapons/colt45.tik
	$player ammo mg 200
	$player ammo pistol 70

	level.medic waitthread global/friendly.scr::heal $player
	level.friendly2 thread friendly2followleader

good job!

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 2:39 am**

since its a problem for some people having non healing medics, maybe you could make this a short tut for people having probs with their medics.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 8:02 am**

Hey Alcoholic if you send me a pk3 example of this I will place it on my site as a tut.

Tut by Alcoholic.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 8:05 am**

cool ill make one as soon as i can

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 8:06 am**

is it possible to impliment this into a mp map?

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 9:01 am**

never worked with mp it might work though

i finished the .pk3 file

the map in it is actually a map i never finished. i had some nifty stuff in there...

just run to the nazis and get all shot up and the medic will heal you.

sometimes one of your teammates will get wounded enough for the medic to come but the airbones usually clear out the nazis before then.

I'm ready when you are Corporal Alcoholic.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 4:09 pm**

would love to see this implemented into a mp script

like randomly select a player on each team and turn him into the medic for the team?

does that sound possible or am i dreaming?

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 5:14 pm**

The friendly script will go nuts if there's more than one player I think

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2003 7:36 pm**

hmm i dont knwo maybe if you selected a randomint and modified a weapon so it was a medkit... it might work
