Scripting probs with dyno

(Aikon) #1

Hey guys,

I’ve made a door which basically just is dynamitable. But when I want to open the game, it says: “SV_SetBrushModel NULL” , what does this mean? I’ve made a script for it by putting a few thing in there from other maps (see below).

I have the following entities:

  • A func_explosive: the entrance
  • A trigger_objective_info: a brush with the trigger texture
  • A trigger_objective_info: a brush with the origin texture

The door is pretty big, kinda like the one from Radar, and the entities have the following stats in-radient:
Door:

classname: func_explosive
targetname: ctrlroomentrance_obj1
scriptname: thecourtyard
health: 0

Door’s trigger_obj_info’s:

classname: trigger_objective_info
scriptname: entrance_trig
target: crtlroomentrance_obj1

The script: thecourtyard
->

//Map: Makoreactor Nr1
//created by Aikon

game_manager
{
 spawn
 {
  // Game Rules

  wm_axis_respawntime 1
  wm_allied_respawntime 1
  wm_number_of_objectives 1
  wm_set_round_timelimit 30

  // Objectives
  // 1. blow up the controlroomentrance

  // Current main objectives for each team (0=Axis, 1=Allies)
  wm_objective_status 1 0 0
  wm_objective_status 1 1 0

  // Accum #1 will be the state of objective number one
  accum 1 set 0
  accum 2 set 0

  // Set Defending Team for SW Mode

  wm_set_defending_team	1

 }

}

entrance_obj1
{

 spawn
 {
  accum 2 set 0
  wait 50
  constructible_class   3
  setstate maindoor1 default
 }

 death
 {
  trigger tank doors_destroyed
  trigger game_manager maindoor1_destroyed
 }
   
 defused
 {
  globalaccum 7 inc -1
  globalaccum 7 abort_if_not_equal 0    
 }   

}

ctrlroomentrance_trig
{

 spawn
 {
 }

 dynamited
 {
 globalaccum 7 inc 1
 globalaccum 7 abort_if_equal 0
 }

}

I sure hope someone of you guys can help me.

im just looking at a working dyno wall and it has no brush with an origin texture so maybe its that causing the problem

(Java.Lang) #3

That error is caused by an origin brush without anything associated with it. Look for an origin brush floating around somewhere.

That may have been what blushing_bride was saying, but I read and reread what he said and still couldn’t figure out what he was saying for the life of me.

The Origin brush is on the right upper corner of the Trigger brush, both brushes are trigger_objective_info. I don’t exactly understand where it has to be exactly, maybe you guys can gimme some directions?

(blushing_bride) #5

try deleting the origin brush (the brush with the origin texture on it in the top right of your picture). as far as i know from looking at a working sample of a dynamitable wall you do not need an origin brush.

YES!!! W000T! Ok, now I understand, the origin brush is for doors only, actual doors which move and stuff, this one doesn’t even give a budge! Thanks a lot Blushing_bride & Java!!!

the origin brush is for many things not just doors. i often have problems with them. I found the best way to avoid problems with origin brushes is to create them at the exact same time that you create the trigger/door/etc that it is attached to. So you select the origin and the trigger/door/etc at the same time and then give both of them their values at the same time. i dont why but when i make origin brushes without using this method i get the error you had.

EDIT: BTW you dont need to give the door a health value in ET its done via scripting

I think you haven’'t made the trigger- and the origin-brush to one entity.
You have to select the trigger- and the origin-brush then rightclick and then choose the entity.

yeah i had the problem and i did that and it seemed to have solved it

but anyway on the door you making unless it moves, there is no need for an origin brush

A while ago I made a small testmap for Steelrat dealing with Dynamite / Scripting events.
Just have a look at it and see how it all works… You can download it here

Thx a bunch, firefly, now I can actually have a ruins!
