whenever i make, lets say, a speaker to play a sound, in my script it type:
it doesnt do ANYTHING! and when i make, lets say, a box looking boat
and i type this in my script:
IT WONT MOVE!
what is wrong with my script?

lol for one, unless you have AI for your boat (which you dont) then you need to specify waypoints for it to move on that connect to eachother via targetname and target.
as for your speaker, i dont think berlin is a real sound clip, you'll have to find a real one.

WOW! fast response lol
i KNOW berlin isnt a real sound clip. youd rather i waste 10 minutes going into main/pak3.pk3/sound/amb/hedgelimpacts_03.wav?
oh! so the boat needs to target the waypoint?

jv he's trying to get it to move to another dock, waitmove would make it wait til it stopped moving right?
think what you need to do is make a set of waypoints to the other dock and then use
$boat moveto $wapoint1
$boat waitmove
// do whatver

He means ( I think ) that the command you use:
Is a command that tells the object where to go, it does not tell it to start moving however... so you need to tell the object to move to the place you told it as well:
... so yoyr complete move code should be:
Code: Select all
$boxboat moveto $otherdock // Where to go
$boxboat waitmove // Go now!
The code above also coundts on the following:
1) That there is an entity ( like a script_model or a script_object ) in your map with targetname / boxboat ( something to move, that is).
2) That there is an entity ( like a script_origin ) in your map with targetname / otherdock ( something to move to, that is).
Check this link for some help on how to use somee of the most common script commands (like move and waitmove)

Sometimes loopsounds have a hard time loading before the game starts. Or, it could be that the sound just can't fine the speaker object in time. Anyway, what I do is put them in a thread with a short wait.
start_sounds:
wait 1
$speaker1 loopsound berlin
$speaker2 loopsound river
end

The hair and gut wish is wasted on me, but a short prayer to the Cyber Gods on my behalf would be nice!
