Tank Scripting Help!

(Darkix) #1

Ok, I have a tank and a tank barrier.
Let’s say… the spln right before the barrier is 21, and i have a spln in the barrier = 22, and the one after the barrrier is 23. So 21 "“B”“22"“B”” 23.
I was reading goldrush script, and I found something like this, (–>> & <<-- Being where I’m questioning):

trigger run_18
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 20 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

           -------- >>>>> trigger tank stuck_check_barrier1_built_msg <<<<<<<-----

             trigger self run_continue
}

trigger run_19
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 21 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

trigger run_20
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             -------->>>>>>>>// Old location of defense1 remove<<<<<<<<--------

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 22 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

trigger run_21
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 23 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

trigger run_22
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 24 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

trigger run_23
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             // **************************
             -------->>>>>>>>trigger defense1 remove<<<<<<<<--------
             // ***************************
             
             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 25 50 wait length 32
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

Now how do I do that? And what does it do? I thought if i put something like “Remove barrier 1” at number 22, and “check Barrier 1” at 21, it would work. Do I need to put something 4 or 5 splns before it? If so, can someone help me out please?
Also, I notice it’s:


trigger run_21 <<<<<------ 21.
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 23 50 wait length 32 <<<<<------ Spln 23
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

Is it ok to make it:


trigger run_21<<<<<<------ 21.
{
             trigger self tracks_forward

             accum 1 bit set 2
             followspline 0 spln 22 50 wait length 32 <<<<<<<<------ 22
             accum 1 bitreset 2

             trigger self run_continue
}

22 being where 23 was.
Thanks for all your help so far!
Working on my first map, just trying to get everything to work :slight_smile:

Won’t take the time to read it now. But These aren’t 0k:

         --------&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;// Old location of defense1 remove&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;-------- , should have

   //      --------&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Old location of defense1

remove //<<<<<<<<-------- , should have etc. IF you have these in your script, it won’t work… I’m on the lounch break, so not much time.

the barrier checking comes at the stop check part of the tank script.
there are some triggers like stop_check_barrier1, just put the spline nr where to check for the corresponding barrier, and let the barrier change the accum value to mark it stuck/not stuck.
