.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

ok, i've created a few of my own global scripts so when we release the map, making future maps will already have the scripting done... sound like a good idea... well yeah but somethings going wrong...

all is working 100% except for 1 small thing...

1stly though the scripts...

so if anyone is kind enough to have a look through these hyrogliphics, the problem is, the when the documents objective is the 1st to be called, the triggers aren't triggerable, but the objective text appears,

any other time, it'll work, why why why is it not working

Do you have an indented version of that script? I find this one very hard to read

lol, sorry did have but it went out with the last lot of laundry

i've started the script again and getting to pretty much the same point now, hopefully this time though i'll have a bit more luck

if not i'll more than happily reindent everything and then you can look all you like,

just trying to work out a best clocktime method... as the objectives are random with random possibilties, should i:

a) clocktime = however long
if !obj4 clocktime = clocktime - obj4.time
if !obj3 etc...

or
b) clocktime = randomobj.time
once completed clocktime = randomobj.time

or
c) clocktime = randomobj.time
once completed clocktime = clocktime + randomobj.time

or
d) your input here please

Not sure what you mean here, is clocktime the same as a time limit?

yep...

short but straight to the point

I'd say just use a constant time limit of 10 minutes or so, regardless of the number of objectives completed. Simplicity often is the best solution

although you right i don't think i explained the situation properly...

sometimes there could be 1 objective, sometimes 4, if i have a constant of 10 minutes, it'd be pretty difficult to to 4 objectives while doing 1 would be a doddle

Do I get it right when I take it this is for a map with some kind of random objectives? Like a random number of objectives per round?

yea, can either be an:
assassination;
bomb obj;
king of the hill;
or a theft obj,

could be 1 of the above, could be 2, or could be all of them

Well hard to tell without knowing the geometry of the map, but I think an initial timelimit of about 3 minutes plus 1 or so minute per objective is fair.

that's what i was thinking, but until play testing can be done i'll never know the final answer,

thanks for your time on this anyway. as always thanks for ur input

and SI if you read this, how's the VIS doing???
