Neutral constructiple sample map + script

(nUllSkillZ) #1

Hi,

at the following link you will find a zip-file (~5KB) that contains a sample map and a sample script of a neutral constructible:
http://www.nullskillz.de/et/maps/neutral_constructible/neutral_constructible.zip

Short description:

[ul]
[li]build the TOI, the crates and the clipbrushes for the crates as usual
[/li][li]the TOI hasn’t got any spawnflags (I think that’s also as usual)
[/li][li]build the two “func_constructible”-entites
[/li][li]both “func_constructible”-entites have the same targetname
[/li][li]the TOI has to target both “func_constructible”-entites
[/li][li]one “func_constructible-entity” has the spawnflag “axis_constructible” the other one “allied_constructible”
[/li][li]both “func_constructible”-entities must have different scriptname values
[/li][li]because the targetname is identical the scriptname value is used in the script to setstate the state of the “func_constructible”-entites
[/li][/ul]

Please inform me if there are any errors.

Edit:

I’ve forgotten to give credits:

screenie of the completed construct?

(nUllSkillZ) #3

Only a box is constructed.
It’s meant as some kind of “tutorial” map.

Nice.
I’ll download and use this prefab for sure in my custom maps.
Super!

Now combine my tutorial, ‘Moving Brushwork into Existing Entities’ --> http://planetwolfenstein.com/4newbies/entity.htm and you can take this tutorial, build your own brushwork construct, merge it right into the axis/allied constuctible, delete the existing one, and you’re off.

good stuff, this kind of thing really helps out the scripting dummies (like me).

(nUllSkillZ) #8

The scripting differs from normal constructibles.
Normally the targetname is used for setstate’s.
But in this case the scriptnames are used.

BTW I haven’t mentioned so far that I’ve had a look at fueldump (the tower / MG at the axis half of this map) because of this.

Hey, would you mind if I added your constructible to my map_in_a_box prefab?

(nUllSkillZ) #10

Feel free to use it.

I’ve tested it and it works just perfect. Thanks again nUllSkillZ.

Don’t thank me.
There are some other people we have to be thankful for.

I’ve just had the idea of some kind of dual objective domination modus:
There are 5 (can be any No.) neutral constructibles.
Which can be con-structed very fast (with low XP for the engineer).
And can also de-structed very fast by satchels (with low XP for the covert ops).
First team that has constructed all of the constructibles wins.

(nUllSkillZ) #14

A new version with textures (original shader by ydnar / original texture by splashdamage) that indicates which team has started to build the neutral constructible.
Unfortunately it can only be used with brushwork constructibles so far.

Note:
It’s not possible to setstate the func_constructible invisible during the buildstart final phase (may be a bug).
So it’s still there with the white texture (and brightens up the red / blue texture).

Hmm, I’ve tried to add this to sock’s neutral command post prefab ( http://www.planetquake.com/simland/ldr1_1/samplemap03c2.htm ).
But all I get is a strange result:

The blue and red constructibles look very nice, but sorry - the command post seems to be the gay edition :smiley: What do you think is the problem with it?
