.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

What I would like to do is add some explosions to hit the ditches in destroyed village. Can anyone help me with this? Not like give me a complete script but to show me how to do this so I feel like I'm doing a little of the scripting. It would also help me to understand more about the scripts.

There are lots of random explosion posts do a search for them .

I saw yours on tmt forums, but I liked tltrude's anims and sounds better. But I can't get it to work with mohdm2.scr . This is what I have right now and there too many errors to count.

Well lots of things you could change .

spawn script_origin "origin" ( -1063 -2952.20 -107.29) "targetname" random_explode1

targetname should be with quotes

spawn script_origin "origin" ( -1063 -2952.20 -107.29) "targetname" "random_explode1"


$random_exploder = " what is this for ?

thread random_explode1 You should make a new thread name

$random_explode1_origin playsound leadinmp
$random_explode1 playsound leadinmp

wait (randomfloat 13 + 16)
wait randomfloat(13)+16

$random_exploder anim start // uses animate fx_explosion_dirt
Did you add $random_exploder's in mohradiant ? They all have the same targetname in all the threads . so they form a targetname array $random_exploder[1] $random_exploder[2] etc I would not do it in mohradiant I would use the global/model.scr

random_explode1:

wait randomfloat(13)+16
$random_explode1 playsound leadinmp
wait 1
exec global/model.scr $random_explode1.origin models/emitters/explosion_bombdirt.tik // you can add a scale number to the end of this if you want
radiusdamage $random_explode1.origin 256 384
goto random_explode1

end

Okay, I think I did everything you suggested and I understood most of it. This is my script so far but it still doesn't work.

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Destroyed Village"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""

Anyone out there?

if you create a log of your console it'll tell you where your errors are,

i, is the script running at all, does it say "DESTROYED VILLAGE" in the objectives?

ii, you have a goto random_explode12 at the end of thread random_explode 2, don't know if this is the main problem but it won't help

iii) i'd change your //*** to something else as // comments out the line,
but /* comments out and area until it reads */ this may be causing problems

iv) other than that i can't see anymore problems but that's where the log will help

I got it to work with a few adjustments but for some reason I can't get the radiusdamage to work hmm strange .

HEY! it works fine...except I don't hear the leadin wav and I don't take any damage. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?

looks like ur talkin to urself, so i figured id reply. i have no idea why it doesnt work as scripting is like spanish to me. u may want to check just to make sure u didnt misspell something.

Omniscent-

Thanks for the idea but I don't think so. bdbodger is a more experienced scripter than I am and he's having trouble figuring out what's wrong. I doubt it's a spelling error since atleast two people have looked at the current script and found no spelling errors.

mohaa can find spelling errors much better and faster than you do and it will drop a message in the console when you've misspelled something

Anyway try this:

radiusdamage ($random_explode1.origin + (0 0 64)) 500 500

LoL. Thanks, that cleared everything up. I have a few more questions. Is it possible to change the amount of light in a level through scripting? Like make it cloudier or something like that? Also, whats the model for fire?

Thanks alot jv_map and bdbodger and everyone else
