Ok so I say it now: i am french and so i can make some awful mistakes, my appologies in advance
!! lol
So in the anated shutters tutorial, I've watched that we could add a line in the script:
thread global/shutter.scr::shuttrig 1 !!
I've read many times what Surgeon had written to explain the function of this line...but I still have not understood... ! lol
So could you explain me the meaning of these line and what does it make in the game with simpliest ( or more simply ) words... to allow me to understand !!!
Thank you for your answer !

thread global/shutter.scr::shuttrig 1, in short means
open folder global,
open file shutter.scr
read the thread shuttrig
and carry the variable 1 for where it is needed

Ok, so you'll think i'm a real foolish (lol) !!
But if i've understood crectly what was in this shutter.scr, when you shoot on one shutter which have The Key/value #group/1, the others shutters who have the same Key/value should move together such like the first (the one I shoot in) ! I'm wrong ?
Ok, but in the game that's not the case....
Why ??

The response of the shutters to shooting is not handled by this shuttrig thread (only called from outside this script), but by the 'shutterthink' thread.
Code: Select all
shutterthink:
self waittill damage
if (self.specevent == 0)
if (randomint(100) > 50)
self.specevent = 11
else
self.specevent = 10
thread shutterthink
end
This code looks ugly as hell to me (even worse than a goto
) but it's pretty obvious this only affects the shutter that's been shot.
event

It is an event you can add to an explosion thread, or a thread to scare the player. It makes the two shutters "slam" (move fast with a bang noise). Normally the event is random but, by using that line, it can be forced.
It will only happen one time when the line is read, and only to the two shutters that have "#group 1". If you use "2" at the end of the line, the "#group 2" shutters will do the event, and so on.
Hope that helps.

Ok, thank you, you're realy nice boys !!
so if i've understood crectly, i can put this line, for exemple after a tank explosion ( commanded by the script ) and, when the lines of this explosion will be write, the thread global/shutter.scr::shuttrig 1 will be write too and will be executed at this moment !!
I'm wrong ???

sounds

The shutter sounds only work for the singleplayer map "m1l1" and all map names that start with "m5". But, you can add an ubersound work-around to get them working for your map. Here is a link to the custom sounds tutorial page.
