.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I found some errors in my assassination tutorial. So, please don't use that tut first until Surgeon uploads my corrected version.

Ok tutorial has been updated @ the same link as before

I've also updated my script. Can someone check it for me? I tried to use the script, but it didn't work in the game. Any way, this should be correct.

//Test Assassination
//Architecture: mohaa_rox
//Scripting: mohaa_rox

exec global/ai.scr
exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_assassination.scr
main:
level waittill prespawn
exec global/ambient.scr test_assassination
level waittill spawn
$player item weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
$player ammo smg 300
$player weaponclass smg
fade in 2 0 0 0 1
wait 2
level.script= "maps/test_assassination.scr"
thread objectives
end
/////////////OBJECTIVES
objectives:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
set_objective_pos $obj1 // this will make the compass point to the officer
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
end
//////////
objective1:
waitthread globa/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
If (IsAlive $officer)
$officer waittill death // if the officer is killed, then the mission will complete
thread mission_complete
end
///////////
mission_complete:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 3 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 0
iprintIn "The officer has been killed. Mission complete!"
wait 1
exec global/missioncomplete.scr test_assassination 1
end

exec global/ai.scr
This has no use at all.

exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_assassination.scr
This won't do something neither.

main:
Rather put the 'main:' on top.

fade in 2 0 0 0 1
'fadein' should be one word.

$player weaponclass smg
Should be 'useweaponclass'.

level.script= "maps/test_assassination.scr"
Why is this below a 'wait'? Actually you don't need this line anyway.

iprintIn
Should be iprintln (with a 'l'). However, rather use 'iprintln_noloc' to prevent localization errors.

That's about it. The rest of it seems fine to me.

Oops! No wonder. Seems like I'm a lousy script writer.

So, Surgeon, can you help me rewrite the script part? I'm tired of resending the tut to you. (It will also do your mail box good.) The correct script should be:

//Test Assassination
//Architecture: mohaa_rox
//Scripting: mohaa_rox

main:

exec global/ai.scr
exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_assassination.scr

level waittill prespawn
exec global/ambient.scr test_assassination
level waittill spawn
$player item weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
$player ammo smg 300
$player useweaponclass smg
fadein 2 0 0 0 1
wait 2
thread objectives
end
/////////////OBJECTIVES
objectives:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
set_objective_pos $obj1 // this will make the compass point to the officer
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
end
//////////
objective1:
waitthread globa/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
If (IsAlive $officer)
$officer waittill death // if the officer is killed, then the mission will complete
thread mission_complete
end
///////////
mission_complete:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 3 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 0
iprintln_noloc "The officer has been killed. Mission complete!"
wait 1
exec global/missioncomplete.scr test_assassination 1
end

Thanks jv_map. You're a great help.

Thank you for your tutorial.

Any tutorial is a great addition for the site 8) .

To be honest i'm still playing catchup with the scripting side of things - Jv_map is far more advanced in that area - i'm gonna try and learn (and relearn) some more stuff over the holidays....I'm sure JV can edit the tutorial with the correct code if you ask him nicely

i wouldnt have the first clue bout scripting but will b trying later to get a usable spotlight later on as my map is a night 1

Another problem with the tutorial I think, that 'objective1' thread is never started is it?

I guess you need to put:
waitthread objective1
just above the end of the objectives thread.

Or am I mistaken?

Anyway, someone's having difficulties with a script that looks pretty much alike : http://www.modtheater.com/forum/showthr ... stid=34255

Well, I guess I need more practice on scripting. Any way, jv_map, can you help me edit and test it?

Yeah I can, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. However, I can pay nearly full attention to this starting on Friday.

Anyway, I think the suggestion I posted above will do the job.

Surgeon, I can't find my updated tutorial. Anyway, you can take a look at my tut here:

http://mohaarox.netfirms.com/tutorials/index.html

I think I know the answer:

//Test Assassination
//Architecture: mohaa_rox
//Scripting: mohaa_rox

main:

exec global/ai.scr
exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_assassination.scr

level waittill prespawn
exec global/ambient.scr test_assassination
level waittill spawn
$player item weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
$player ammo smg 300
$player useweaponclass smg
fadein 2 0 0 0 1
wait 2
thread objectives
end
/////////////OBJECTIVES
objectives:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
end
//////////
objective1:
waitthread globa/objectives.scr::current_objectives 1
If(IsAlive $officer)
$officer waittill death // if the officer is killed, then the mission will complete
thread mission_complete
end
///////////
mission_complete:
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 3 "Kill the officer." $obj1.origin
waitthread global/objectives.scr::current_objectives 0
iprintln_noloc "The officer has been killed. Mission complete!"
wait 1
exec global/missioncomplete.scr test_assassination 1
end

This should be the script, if I'm not wrong. Can any of the staff help me correct it? Thanks.
