.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Dunno if it's a bots forum or a script forum but here it goes:

I'm spawning a bot and asking him to do stuff:

spawn_sci1:

local.sci1 = spawn human/multiplayer_german_dorf2_scientist.tik "targetname" "scientist1"
local.sci1 origin "808 -544 -768"

waitframe

$scientist1.enableEnemy = 0 // <-- SEE?
$scientist1 thread chalkboard
$scientist1 waittill death
wait 1
goto spawn_sci1

end

As you can see, if he dies, he spawns again. It's working but when he respawns, he is reacting to enemies. Dunno why the line is not working for the 2nd time...

Any ideas why?

Hmm, I made some progress. I changed my thread to this:

spawn_sci1:

local.sci1 = spawn human/multiplayer_german_dorf2_scientist.tik "targetname" "scientist1" "origin" "808 -544 -768"

waitframe

local.sci1.enableEnemy = 0
local.sci1 thread chalkboard
local.sci1 waittill death
wait 1
goto spawn_sci1

end

Now, they don't react to me (as an enemy), as long as I don't touch him If itouch him, he goes into attack mode...

That's odd.. he shouldn't attack you at all... try setting his hearing and sight to 0 and his enemysharerange to 1

My guess would be that the second spawn has an index number because the first one, although dead, is still using the targetname.

Yes, sir! That's what I was thinking... There's something strange when I kill him while the previous dead body is still on the floor...and sometimes I touch him and he don't react...I said sometimes...

And jv, that solution came into my mind but that's not what I want exactly...But I'll do this if nothing else works.

can haveing a E in local.sci1.enableEnemy = 0 instead of e be causeing a problem ?

Nope I don 't think so. For a check, type g_entinfo 1 in console and you should see a big 'DISABLED' text above the AI's head

jv, where do you get all these amazing commands? g_entinfo, g_gametype, etc. how do you know all this?
and i'm serious, do you study g_allclasses or something?

Yup g_allclasses.html pretty much tells you what you can and can't do with scripting... also take a look at the cvar docs over at www.ritualistic.com
(games->fakk2->editing).

Why are you using the older one? The spearhead SDK came with one that is 2 years newer (2002). It has both versions of the cvar doc combined.

SDK\docs\MOH_game_commands_and_variables.html

For Actors::
G_entinfo 1
Green Line is between the actor?s centroid and his m_vHome position
Green circle represents his leash distance away from his home position
Red circle is his m_fMinDistance
Blue circle is his m_fMaxDistance
G_entinfo 2
Red circle is his hearing
Blue circle is his sight
G_entinfo 4 ? show all actors all the time

Cvar Documentation
NOTE: The CVAR documentation was created from an earlier iteration of the engine. Approximately 95% of the commands still work for MOHTA and are therefore valid.

G_entinfo is cheat protected ...So I'llhave to put cheats on the game? buuaa'...I don't even know how to do it...I heard about putting something on the shortcut of the game, but there's any other easy way to do it?

Nope... you'll have to go the shortcut-way

Anyway I'm pretty confident the 'e' is not the problem

how do you un-cheat protect stuff like cg_3rd_person and r_showtris 2? i'm trying to change the allied model to a paratrooper but since the sleeve is all but identical to stock dude, i can't tell unless i use 3rd person view...

Add this to your shortcut:

+set thereisnomonkey 1 +set cheats 1 +set developer 1

And then start the map with devmap

aha, devmap. thnx jv! i thought a server i went to blew my "cheats" (cg_3rd_person, r_showtris, etc.) away so i'd need to reinstall, again.
