.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Hi there,

I've had a look for the answer to this, but either it's not there or I've missed it.

Quite simply, how can you reduce the countdown time before a placed bomb explodes? I've got a standard objective to blow up and this all works, however I need the bomb to explode quicker to make the whole thing a little bit more playable.

Thanks in advance

Dave

You will have to make your own version of the global/obj_dm.scr script and change this variable--it's in pak0.pk3.

level.bomb_tick_time = 45

Your version of the script can be called anything you like, but make sure your script's "bomb_thinker" lines use the new script name. Place the script in a folder named global in your final pk3.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Have tried this and the timer is now how I want it, however the map now doesn't restart?

I've double checked everything as per your notes, all pretty straight forward and can't see anything wrong.

Any ideas?

Dave

I can't see how the two would be related. Does the restart problem go away if you change the bomb_thinker lines back? Please post your level script.

Okay, just tried that. Reset back to the orignal obj_dm and map restarts.

The whole map is at http://www.futurevisions.force9.co.uk/M ... forest.pk3 (if that helps). Its only my second map so it's not going to win any prizes

The only thing changed in obj_dm file was the timer to '25' and saved as forest.scr.
Script:
// Custom objective Bobby's Forest

// set the parameters for round based match
level.dmrespawning = 0 // 1 or 0
level.dmroundlimit = 5 // round time limit in minutes
level.clockside = axis // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw

// level waittill roundstart // Comment out this line using '//' before it to be able to set the bomb when alone on the map ( just for testing )

$radio_bomb thread global/forest.scr::bomb_thinker // "radio_bomb" is the targetname set on the bomb in MOHRadiant

thread allies_win_bomb
$radio_bomb thread axis_win_timer

end

Well, you didn't tell me the map was not Mohaa. For Spearhead and Breakthrough, you will have to use the obj_dm.scr script form one of those global folders to make your version of it--they are slightly different.

Ahh, didn't realise. I'll make a note for the future to mention this when posting questions.

This is now all working.

Thanks very much for you help.
