Here is what I have
Code: Select all
main:
level waittill presawn
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""
setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""
level waittill spawn
thread thing_ops
local.switch = $ts
local.trigger = $tt
local.thing = $thing
local.redlight = $rl
local.bluelight = $bl
local.way1 = $way1
local.way2 = $way2
local.way3 = $way3
local.way4 = $way4
local.way5 = $way5
local.way6 = $way6
local.thing time 3
local.switch bind local.thing
local.trigger bind local.thing
local.redlight bind local.thing
local.bluelight bind local.thing
end
thing_ops:
while(1)
}
local.trigger waittill trigger
local.switch anim turn
local.trigger nottriggerable
wait 2
local.thing moveto local.way1
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way2
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way3
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way4
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way5
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way6
local.thing waitmove
iprintlnbold_noloc "End of the line. Now what?"
waitframe
{
end
What I want to do is have another thread under that for local.redlight and local.bluelight. How do I tell "light_ops" thread call local.redlight and local.bluelight so that my script is like this:
Code: Select all
main:
level waittill presawn
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "What The"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "Heck Is"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "That Thing!?"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "What The"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "Heck Is"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "That Thing!?"
setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""
level waittill spawn
thread thing_ops
local.switch = $ts
local.trigger = $tt
local.thing = $thing
local.redlight = $rl
local.bluelight = $bl
local.way1 = $way1
local.way2 = $way2
local.way3 = $way3
local.way4 = $way4
local.way5 = $way5
local.way6 = $way6
local.thing time 3
local.switch bind local.thing
local.trigger bind local.thing
local.redlight bind local.thing
local.bluelight bind local.thing
local.redlight hide
local.bluelight hide
end
thing_ops:
while(1)
}
local.trigger waittill trigger
local.switch anim turn
local.trigger nottriggerable
wait 2
local.redlight show
local.bluelight show
local.thing moveto local.way1
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way2
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way3
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way4
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way5
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way6
local.thing waitmove
iprintlnbold_noloc "End of the line. Now what?"
waitframe
{
end
light_ops:
while(1)
}
local.redlight _color 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 //to change it to blue
local.bluelight _color 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 //to change it to red
wait 1
local.redlight _color 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 //to change it back to red
local.bluelight _color 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 //to change it back to blue
waitframe
}
end
So the lights are changing colors all the time so the light_ops thread will be looping over and over. Is this enough info or do u need more?

goto

no thats not what I mean, I want thing_ops to be running the same time as light_ops. goto would basically tell light_ops to start up after thing_ops is done... am I right?

if u want it to run the same time then call the thread in prespawn
and they wil be active at same time

you mixed up the braces, { = opening brace, starts, } = closing brace. ends.
call both of them in your main thread. like
// main and level waittil junk
level waittil spawn
thread bluelight
thread redlight
// any other threads
end

It looks to me that all those local variables are being antisocial.
They need to get together and have a party in the same thread... LOL
For eg; local.trigger in thread thing_ops is undefined as are all the other local variables in that thread. If you keep them local variables then they have to be defined in the same thread that uses them, otherwise make them level variables. Or pass the variable values to the new thread.
Code: Select all
main:
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""
setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""
level waittill presawn
level waittill spawn
thread thing_ops
end //end of main script - threads below here
//-----------
thing_ops:
//-----------
//define all the variables in the same thread
local.switch = $ts
local.trigger = $tt
local.thing = $thing
local.redlight = $rl
local.bluelight = $bl
local.way1 = $way1
local.way2 = $way2
local.way3 = $way3
local.way4 = $way4
local.way5 = $way5
local.way6 = $way6
local.thing time 3
local.switch bind local.thing
local.trigger bind local.thing
local.redlight bind local.thing
local.bluelight bind local.thing
while(1)
{
local.trigger waittill trigger
local.switch anim turn
local.trigger nottriggerable
wait 2
local.thing moveto local.way1
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way2
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way3
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way4
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way5
local.thing waitmove
local.thing moveto local.way6
local.thing waitmove
iprintlnbold_noloc "End of the line. Now what?"
waitframe
}
end

any local defined variable is only visible in the local thread, if you want to use variables like you do in your scipt Dragon, you will need to define them in the level scope, like this:
Code: Select all
level.switch = $ts
level.trigger = $tt
level.thing = $thing
level.redlight = $rl
level.bluelight = $bl
level.way1 = $way1
level.way2 = $way2
level.way3 = $way3
level.way4 = $way4
level.way5 = $way5
level.way6 = $way6
level.thing time 3
level.switch bind local.thing
level.trigger bind local.thing
level.redlight bind local.thing
level.bluelight bind local.thing
level.redlight hide
level.bluelight hide

so if i change only local.redlight and local.bluelight to level.redlight and level.bluelight those 2 things will be know throughout the script? Will they still work if they are under "thread thing_ops" and I call them to "light_ops:"?
Code: Select all
main:
levelwaittill prespawn
...
levelwaittill spawn
thread thing_ops
...
level.redlight
level.bluelight
level.redlight bind local.thing
level.bluelight bind local.thing
thread light_ops
thing_ops:
....
end
light_ops:
level.redlight do this
level.bluelight do this
more stuff
end
Will that basically work?
