Two .scr

[GrimReaper]

alrighty, I am no good at scripting. I tried looking for this one but no luck. But can you have 2 different .scr files. Like I have a plane in my map and I was woundering if you could have a plane .scr and my regular map .scr. and if they had pretty much the same info like

Code: Select all

level waitTill prespawn

//*** Precache Dm Stuff
exec global/DMprecache.scr

level.script = maps/dm/plane.scr
exec global/ambient.scr plane

//$world farplane 5000
//$world farplane_color (.333 .333 .329)

level waittill spawn

that would it interfere with each other?

Sure you can the game uses the global scripts in the global directory among others all the time . Just put exec directory/script.scr in the level script change directory and script.scr to the directory and script name you will be useing . also you can use a thread in another scr file from your level script too . like this thread directory/script.scr::threadname parameters

Honestly, that makes no sense to me. I realise that you are saying that I CAN use more than one script. from what it looks like one goes into my script folder ( most likely the plane one) and one goes in with maps folder(with bsp and min and stuff) ? dont know if im right though:P

Ok then this is what I mean for your level script use

main:

exec <directory>/plane.scr

end

to run just a thread in the plane.scr or to run both the plane script and then a thread in the plane script use something like this in your level script

main:

exec <directory>/plane.scr

thread <directory>/plane.scr::shootthread parm1 parm2

end

Alrighty, now that I have two scr's I have one for my plane and one for the whole map I could put them together but rather wouldnt. Anyways where should I put them in which folders?...both in scripts, both in maps>obj?..or one in each

Only the script that has your map's name (and is in the same folder as your .bsp file) will load when you start a game. That main script can load other scripts. But, these other scripts don't need to repeat lines which were already executed by the main script.

So, your "my_plane.scr" script can just begin with a thread name.

Example of a global/my_plane.scr.
===============================

first_plane:

$plane1 flypath $path_1

end

second_plane:

$plane2 flypath $path_2

end
===============================

So, you place this little script (named my_plane.scr) in main/global, and in your map's main script (the one with your map's name) use lines like these to call the threads when ever you like.

exec global/my_plane.scr::first_plane
exec global/my_plane.scr::second_plane

Hope that helps!
