scripting problem

(morphdoc) #1

Hi guys, I have a problem with scripting…

// ENABLE NEW SPAWN
  trigger cp_spawn_wobj on
  
  // If first time, then set new spawn as default
  accum 4 abort_if_equal 1
  accum 2 set 1      
  
  setautospawn    "CP Spawn"   1

somewhere earlier there is a command

accum 4 set 1

when objective 4 is completed.

Basically, I want the script to abort setautospawn “CP Spawn” when objective 4 is completed before objective 2 (build CP)

and I can’t work this out…clearly, once the obj 4 is completed, command is triggered: accum 4 set 1

but when I build the CP, the “setautospawn CP” is triggered… even tho it says accum 4 abort_if_equal 1

HELP!

Most likely you’re trying to use a local accum as a global accum. Global accum can be accessed from anywhere in the script, local only in the same code block if that makes any sense.

I have got you guys:P after the last time, when I spent 3 days researching the answer for my scripting problem and got the answer within 10 minutes of posting on this forum, I decided to just post on the forum (unless it can be found through SEARCH!..ofcourse:P)

another issue :open_mouth:

in game error: G_Scripting: trigger has unknown name: antenna

trigger antenna allies
}

trigger move_axis
{
accum 1 abort_if_equal 0
accum 2 abort_if_equal 1
accum 2 set 1
trigger antenna axis
}
}

what is wrong with this?

Basically, the script_trigger in the game triggers “allies” under “antenna_activator_allies” block. But it then says “unknown name: antenna”

Is antenna a scriptname of one of your map entities?

(Cambodunum) #8

antenna_activator_allies
{
trigger allies
{
trigger antenna move_allies
}
}

antenna_activator_axis
{
trigger axis
{
trigger antenna move_axis
}
}

Sorry, just had a quick look at it … “trigger antenna move_axis” and “trigger antenna move_allies” seems to be wrong … should be “trigger move_axis and/or trigger move_allies” if you ask me … but without any guarantee

trigger move_axis
{
accum 1 abort_if_equal 0
accum 2 abort_if_equal 1
accum 2 set 1
trigger antenna axis
}
}

… seems buggy too … there is no “antenna axis” trigger defined …

No, I do not have any entities with “scriptname antenna”. My target_script_trigger has this:

Scriptname: antenna_activator_allies
Targetname: antenna_activator_allies
Target: allies

So, it seems that the script works fine until it executes allies in antenna_activator_allies script block. It triggers allies, but it does not trigger “trigger antenna move_allies”

antenna_activator_allies
{
trigger allies
{
trigger antenna move_allies
}
}

I thought that this mean: trigger move_allies in script block called “antenna”

(morphdoc) #11

OK, sorted. I just had to create some random brush with scriptname “antenna” attached to it!

Could have used the game_manager is really necessary to be outside the entities you use instead of creating a new useless one that server and clients will happily care about…
