G_Scripting: Cannot find targetname

(DaRkFiRe) #1

I get this error everytime I load my map in ET. I have a tank, which moves along 15 splines for the moment. I have a spline that resets the tank into the correct position, with a targetname spln_st. The entire error is as follows: G_Scripting: Can’t find spline with targetname “spln_st”. I’ve been getting this error EVERY time I try to reset the tank position with a spline. I am positive I have the keys and values right. Any one have an idea?

It sounds like you are trying to refer to the spln_st spline before it is spawned in the game. My guess is you are using a followspline command in the tank’s spawn function. You need to add a “wait 200” before you call followspline.

ie.


tank
{
    spawn
    {
        wait 200
        followspline 0 spln_st 10000 wait length -64
    }
.

I have a “wait 400” command right before the followspline command though :???:

tank
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 400
		followspline 0 spln1 50000 wait length -64

		trigger tank sound_idle
		trigger tank tracks_stop
	}

I noticed I had some commands in the spawn function backwards, but would that cause it to mess up like this?

In that code bit you are using spln1, but in the error it references spln_st. Where in your script are you using spln_st? That’s the important one.

It seems somehow I copied the goldrush tank routine… Thanks Crimson Editor!

Anyways, here is the spawn function for MY tank :chef:

tank
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 400
		followspline 0 spln_st 10000 wait length -64

		trigger tank sound_idle
		trigger tank tracks_stop
	}

Well, the only other explanation that I can think of would be that you have a typo somewhere. Post the entity information for this spline.

Here is the .map info for the movement splines:

}
(chavo_one) #8

Try deleting spln_st from the map, and recreate it from a brand new info_train_spline_main. IOW, don’t copy another spline and rename it. Then recompile and try it again. If that doesn’t work, I have no more ideas.

(DaRkFiRe) #9

Right-o.

Btw, thanks for the quick replies :banana: Muchos appreciated.

And, btw, how did you get the tracks and turret to not be snow-textured?

(DaRkFiRe) #10

Ok, I realized that it was a problem with the turret script. Do I need a seperate set of script movers for the turret, with a scriptname tank_turret 2 for movement, and another script routine for the gamemodel with an attachtotag command?

(chavo_one) #11

You only need a second script mover for the turret if you want to rotate the turret for firing and have it realistically clip the player. In venice, I cheated, and when the turret rotates, the turret clip brushes don’t.

(DaRkFiRe) #12

Ok, good. My tank takes a straight on shot at a wall, so no worries there :drink:

So, would I just use this command: attachtotag tank tank_turret to make the turret move?

(chavo_one) #13

indeed.

(DaRkFiRe) #14

Ok, cool. Thanks for the time Chavo :drink:
