You know how in SP, the objectives showed on the compass. Well, I am running a FreezeTag-Demolition server and want the objectives to show up for each team on their compass. They dont now and players have hard times finding them. How would I attach an objective to a compass?

The compass is probably controled by a .urc file in the ui folder of pak0.

The standard way is like this for spearhead, think aa is the same.
addobjective 1 1 "" $bomb1.origin
setcurrentobjective 1
for a new compass setting after the previous obj has been met, change the addobjective line to the new objective.
addobjective 2 1 "" $bomb2.origin
setcurrentobjective 2
classes info;
addobjective( Integer objective_number, Integer status, [ String text ], [ Vector location ] )
Adds/Changes an Objective
setcurrentobjective( Integer objective_number )
Sets the specified objective as the current objective
Hope this helps,

I managed to set the objective. It even stated that a new objective had been added, but it didnt point to it on my compass.

Hmm thats odd,
Works fine here on a map I have that has random obj locations.
Are you playing in gametype 4 Obj mode?

Actually, it is a Round-Based gametype.

i belive compass obj ball ballasts are hardcoded in MP to point to the nearest friendly player. nobody uses this but it's excellent for coordination.
i don't know if forcing a change would crash it or no.

mine says objective added,and objective completed,but the level dont end,or the compass doesnt point to the objective

addobjective 1 1 "" $bomb1.origin
|..................|..|..|..|__vector location / can use a bomb script object or script origin.
|..................|..|..|__text string "Find the bomb and blow it
"
|..................|..|__objective state 1=current/active 0=not current (i think)
|..................|__objective number
|___add a new objective
Here is a modified section from the bombthinker.scr I did for a map with random bomb locations.
Code: Select all

// Created a Random Objective Mode
ObjectiveMode local.pos:
//------------------------
if ( level.rand_obj != 1 )
local.pos = ( -1346.00 -907.00 353.00 )
local.bomborigin = local.pos

level.planting_team = "allies" // axis
level.bombs_to_plant = 1
level.bomb_damage = 600
level.bomb_explosion_radius = 1024
level.targets_to_destroy = 1
level.bomb_defuse_time = 60 //tenths of a second
level.bomb_set_time = 50 //tenths of a second
level.bomb_explosion_radius = 1054 //quake units
level.bomb_use_distance = 128 //quake units
level.bomb_damage = 200
level.bombusefov = 30
level.subtitleX = 100
level.subtitleY = 50
level.allieswin = 0
// set the parameters for this round/wave based match
level.clockside = axis // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw
spawn script_model "targetname" "bomb1" "model" "items/pulse_explosive.tik" "origin" local.bomborigin
local.crate = spawn script_model "targetname" "fakecrate" "origin" ( -1346 -907 305)
wait 1.0
$bomb1.trigger_name = spawn trigger_use "origin" $bomb1.origin targetname "Bomb1Trigger"
$bomb1.explosion_fx = "fx/fx_flak88_explosion.tik"
$bomb1.explosion_sound = "explode_aagun"

$bomb1.angle = -90
$bomb1.trigger_name setsize ( -40 -40 -40) (40 40 40)
